Happy One Month Anniversary

So its been one wonderful month since I started this venture to lose weight. In one month I’ve had my ups and downs.. mostly downs. I’ve lost 14 pounds.. I’ve incorporated exercise into my life and I’ve started eating better. Started thinking about the calories I’m putting into my mouth. So here [...]

The Blahs

The weight is still coming off, but at a very slow pace. It’s okay I guess.. I didn’t gain it over night so I can’t expect to lose it over night. It’s funny because I always thought I was a fairly healthy person despite my extra weight, but as I’m working on this [...]

Policy of Truth

So, guess what happened.. my scale broke!! All of a sudden the alignment went weird and I was weighing 180lbs., which is wonderful, but that is so far from reality it forced me to have to buy another scale. The scale broke on Thursday, but I didn’t get the new scale until last night. [...]

The Juice Monster No Longer Lives Here

Well.. I didn’t realize just how much I was addicted to juice until I saw that it has taken 14 days for my kids to finish the juice that was in the fridge when I started the diet. We would spend so much money on juice it was unbelievable.. probably $10 a week. That’s [...]

Living in a Dream Land..

And so we returned the scale. It’s about the journey, right?? So I’m going to continue living in a world that is six pounds lighter.. which means today I am at 200!!! yeah!
The weekend was harder than I expected.. on Friday we had some friends over.. we had to offer them more than [...]

Devestating..

I think my scale is off.. like by at least five pounds. I have been hanging out between 200 and 201 this weekend using my cheap IKEA scale. I was so happy.. thinking that soon enough I’ll be going into the ones again.. and what happened today? We decided that since we’re using the [...]

Another Unlikely Partner

So it was my last day of Phase I.. It went horribly.. I didn’t drink enough water.. I didn’t exercise… I ate okay until dinner time.. then I had an egg salad sandwich and half a cookie.. totally not allowed..
My daughter has been doing the exercise videos with me.. we usually do them when my [...]

Phase I Done!

So today is the last day of Phase I of my Fat Smash diet.  I’m so happy to report that I’ve lost 9 pounds!!! Wohoo.. I’m 201 today…  I can’t wait to get out of the 200s.. to me that 200 pound mark is one that for the longest time I was so upset about [...]

An Unlikely Partner

Well, my husband has joined me in the diet.. I’m so happy to have him join the effort because it would be harder without him.  He loves junk food and truely has been my partner and food friend in getting us both overweight.  That being said, he never put the food in my mouth.
So we’re [...]

Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater..

Seriously.. what was the guy thinking when he wrote that one… its more like cheater, cheater, chocolate eater! Who in there right mind would cheat by eating pumpkin? Maybe french fries..
So lets start with Sunday.. still not as much exercise as I would like, but food wise not so bad.. in fact if anything I [...]
