TGIF

I need to seriously give up the juice fast notion. I ended up eating four turkey burger patties last night. FOUR! Just the patty, no bun or condiments. But still, I did not sleep well last night. So, that totally nullified the whole POINT of the juice fast. Ah well. Life goes on.
While I was [...]

I ran I ran so far away

HAHAHA!! Get the ’80s reference? If not, you are too young to read this. Go away! (just kidding… sort of. I’m feeling really old and bitter today.)
I did my 3 miles this morning. And decided that I’ve got to give up the running for a week or so, give my knees a break. I’m going [...]

I’ve heard that one before!

So, it’s Monday. Time to start AGAIN. Actually, I would have done pretty good yesterday except for the frozen Junior Mints at the movies. Hey, they were FROZEN. That’s like totally my kryptonite. Can. Not. Resist.
The protein bars are gone (I ate the last box one day last week. Yep, you read that right. [...]

Down the Rabbit Hole

A.M. weigh in: 168.6
I didn’t eat anything else last night before bed. Mostly because I was just too lazy to get up and get anything. Hey, whatever it takes right? Gotta use our strengths!
However, today is shameful. And I feel it. I did get up and do 47 minutes on the elliptical (I’m thinking the [...]

I am here

A.M. weigh in: 165.6
I’m feeling better, my mojo may be back. I’m tentative about stating that, hoping not to jinx myself. But for the past few days I’ve felt more my old self again. Like something “clicked” in my brain. I’m trying not to over-analyze it right now, don’t want to risk clicking it back [...]

Oh Glorious Day

A.M. weigh in: 159.4
I’m back in the 150s baby!! And it feels sooooo good. Not as good as being back in the 140s, or when I one day hit goal weight (notice I said when, not if!) but still it’s an accomplishment and I’m embracing it.
Especially since last night’s weigh in at WW was disappointing. [...]

Movie maniac

A.M. weigh-in: 160.4
My weight loss is only indicative of just how badly I was eating in order to gain. Yesterday I had a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle for breakfast, a cheeseburger with extra onions from In ‘n Out Burger for lunch, enough homemade tacos to feed all of Baja California for dinner and a [...]

Night at the Movies: Battle of the Snacks

A.M. weigh-in: 157.4
Took the kids to see Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (click HERE for link to my movie review blog. It was really good and the kids LOVED it!!) Ate half a large bag of kettle corn and half a small bag of Skittles. I’ve done seriously worse at the movies, [...]

Not sure how??

A.M. weigh in: 157.8 (really? I should eat kettle corn and frozen junior mints at midnite more often!)
I’m running on about 5 hours of sleep. Not due to sick children this time. Nope. Took my two older boys to the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation. I acknowledge that that is totally crazy. I’m ok with [...]

I got kicked off the cheerleading team for being too flexible

A.M. weigh-in: 158.2 (and that’s a good thing?!! how sad, so very sad!!)
I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym last night. I also went over some of the leg weight machines with my trainer there and booked an hour appointment for next week. Because…
I do NOT have torn cartilage in my knees!! [...]
