I choose now.

My mom watches a LOT of TV and since she’s been here with us I’ve been watching more then ever.  Normally I don’t watch TV, hardly any at all.  If the TV is on at all it’s playing one of my daughters DVD’s or my husband and I are watching a movie.  I haven’t watched [...]

Christmas’s magic number is . . .
146.5
3 pounds down from last week!  Woot!!  I’m only 6.5 pounds away from a healthy BMI!  I’m excited!!  This also puts me at 8.5 pounds lost this month so far and since 8 was my goal I’m a happy girl!  I wasn’t able to post this on the day [...]

Today’s magic number is …
149.5
Whoohoo!  Out of the 150’s!!  Hooray!  So that’s 2 pounds down from last week.  I’ve lost a total of 61 pounds!!  That’s 244 sticks of butter!  That’s a LOT of butter.

Anyways, I took the another day off today.  I did something really nasty to my lower back and it’s hard to [...]

My post workout shower is my place for thought.  I stand or sometimes sit down, let the hot water hit me and think.  I love showers, it’s my time and only my time.  I can’t hear what’s going on outside my shower, no one will come and bother me and I can pretend, for a [...]

Growing up I used to LOVE to bake!  I’m not much of a cook when it comes to real food but baking, I love.  I think it’s the tinkerer in me, I like the measuring and mixing of ingredients and then having it all come together as some yummy baked goodness.  I haven’t been doing [...]

It’s been COLD here, today we are suppose to get snow.  It was suppose to come last night but it’s been moved up to this afternoon.  It is soooooo much harder to get up in the mornings when it’s cold!  I have to concentrate really hard to pull myself out of my nice warm blankie [...]

Holiday Gingerbread Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (the original recipe called for 1/4 cup applesauce and 3 tbs of vegetable oil but I omitted the [...]

It’s weigh day!  Today’s magic number is …
151.5
Woohoo, 2.5 pounds down from last week!  I had hoped to be out of the 150’s by now but it will happen when it happens.  Either way 2.5 more pounds are OFF my body FOREVER and I’m happy for it!
So, I started level 2 of the 30DS today [...]

I think I’m going to change a few things with my current plan.  Every time I’ve added a new form of exercise I’ve added it in gradually, elliptical, yoga, harder programs on my elliptical, all added in slowly.  Now the one exception is the 30 day shred.  I hate to admit this but I think [...]

So I think I’ve hit a milestone.  Not a huge one, but a milestone non the less.  I added a new RECENT pic to my facebook account!  Sure it’s only from the neck up but for me that’s a HUGE step!  I am very anti pictures of me, VERY VERY much so, so adding that [...]
