I choose now.

So now that I’m nearing my initial goal of 130lbs I’ve been giving some thought to my vanity goal of a size 4.  I’m trying to figure out how to go about it, like do I buy a cute pair of size 4’s to hang in my closet and try on every now and then [...]

Here’s a simple but yummy breakfast I found, I think on sparkpeople.
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

Plain quick cooking oats
TBS of peanut butter
Half a banana sliced
Whatever you use for sweetener

Cook up a serving of oatmeal (I use Quaker Oats, 1/2 cup serving size with water).  Once it’s done mix in your tablespoon of peanut butter, banana slices [...]

Guess what time it is . . weigh day!!  Today’s magic number . . .
140.5
Down yet another 2 pounds AND get this . . I am now the proud owner of a HEALTHY BMI!!!  From obesity (bordering the next level, what is it, extreme obesity?) to overweight and now healthy.  Ahhhhh, feels good!  It’s all [...]

Today my 35 minutes of elliptical where a little hard.  Harder in fact then it’s been in a long time, even after being sick and not doing it for a week and going on vaca then starting again wasn’t as hard as today.  My legs felt heavy and tired, they feel that way usually the [...]

I can’t believe how close I am to my main goal of 130lbs.  As great as I feel there is a part of me that still feels 200+ pounds, it’s hard to shake!  I keep feeling like soon the other shoe is going to drop and all this wonderfulness will stop.  All my willpower, all [...]

I’m not talking about bathroom issues here but shampoo.  If you haven’t heard of it, going “No Poo” means giving up shampoo and using baking soda and vinegar to wash and condition your hair.  Basically you take about a tablespoon of baking soda and enough water to make a paste, scrub your head with that, [...]

This is one I’ve been meaning to blog about for weeks and weeks now.  Have you seen those calendars of Yoga cats and dogs?  Those make me laugh every time I see them but I happen to be the proud owner of 2 yoga cats myself.  Even if they only really do the cats equivalent [...]

It’s that time again!  Today’s magic number is …
142.5
Another 2 pounds bites the dust!  Booya!  My BMI is 25.2, the highest healthy BMI is 24.9, I’ll have a healthy BMI when I’m 140.5 . . . 2 more pounds . . . it’s so close I can taste it!  Hopefully I’ll leave January with a [...]

Yep, the girls are officially back to C’s.  I’m actually happy about this.  When I’m in shape I run about a mid C and I’ve always been happy about that.  When I gained weight I was a D and I think I may have been or bordering  a DD for awhile there and as long [...]

There is this lean cuisine I like, it’s a noodle thing in peanut sauce and once in awhile I crave that tangy, peanuty, noodly stuff … today was one of those times.  I don’t have any of it but I do have some noodles from last nights spaghetti so I started looking up peanut sauces [...]
