I need a challenge

Weight: 158.8
Now that Boot Camp is over, I need something to keep me focused. A challenge is definitely in order!
Starting tomorrow (since today is nearly over!) thru Friday
1. Go to gym three times
2. Run or elliptical every day
3. Do squats, straight leg raises, and ab-work every day
4. Drink at least 100 oz of water every [...]

On winged feet

Weigh-in: 163.8
A more accurate picture would have been one of a chicken with it’s head cut off, but not really the imagery I’m going for on a Friday afternoon!
Today has been crazy day! I’ve been in the car since 8:30 this morning, running errands, going to appointments, paying bills, etc… My 16 year old is [...]

How Un-Egg-Spected!

Weigh-in: 165.2 (down almost a pound, how awesome is THAT?!)
So, it seems that eating a ginormous omelet is the key to weightloss! Ok, so there’s a bit more to it than that! Like the fact that I divided up that omelet and ate it thoughout the day. So the fact that there were a days [...]

A “Toast”y Tuesday

A.M. weigh-in: 167.0 (since I’m not going to WW anymore, I guess I can just put weigh-in now, can’t I.)
My two oldest children treated me to breakfast at a new restaurant called Toast. It is very awesome. I had a chicken pesto omelet with artichoke, roasted tomato and mozzarella. YUM! It also came with a [...]

It’s Tangent Day!!

Today’s weigh-in: 167.6 really?? FUCKING REALLY??!! WTF?  My scale is obviously involved in a right-wing conspiracy with the elliptical. They probably shot JFK too. What a total Monday.
If I were one of those people who didn’t eat when under stress, I would weigh 12 pounds right now. But I am not, so I weigh slightly [...]

Sorry to disappoint

I just finished 60 minutes on the elliptical and I hit the gym earlier today. So BOOYAH! Oh, and seriously all healthy food. Oatmeal for brekkie, big ole salad for lunch and I’m having two lean turkey burger patties and a bag of steamed snow pea pods for din-din! No snacking of any kind. CIRCLE [...]

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 [...]

The ying and yang of dieting

I did it. And more importantly, I didn’t do it!!
I DID go to the gym today. I realized today why I fight going. While I like working out on the equipment, I’m EXTREMELY self-conscious. Everyone at my gym is fit, we are talking toned arms and 6-pack abs. I’m not exaggerating. I feel like a [...]

Oh the things I do…

… to avoid public humiliation. This morning’s run sucked. I tried to do it on the treadmill. I said it was because today is trash day and I hate having to run past all the sanitation trucks, they are less than pleasantly fragrant. However, it really was because my Season 2 DVDs of Big Love [...]

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. [...]
