• Week 16

    Finally!!! My plateau has been BROKEN!!! And it’s about TIME!!! I am down 2 pounds this week!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!! That makes me 18 pounds GONE and ………..12 pounds to go!! I’ve tried a couple of different exercises this last 2 weeks. From the defective hula hoop fiasco. To adding a little extra time walking with Kaki. My weighted vest is now weighing in at 26 pounds. I’ve added ab work (probably can’t count that because I only did 4 days worth…. mostly cause I forget! Which is insane because if I actually do 5 minutes of ab work a day my stomach really does show results!!).

  • Lost my MIND!!

    Ever have a great diet day………….. only to be ruined just before bed?? AHHHHHH!!!! I should have just come home and gone to bed!! Lucky for me I did great with the grocery shopping over the weekend…. so I don’t have any really “BAD for me” foods in the house…. but I still managed to make up for that with the sheer VOLUME of food I’ve stuffed in my mouth!! Grapes, almonds, 100 calorie pudding pack, Weight Watchers chicken enchiladas and because that couldn’t have possibly been a enough food I had string cheese. So now I shall wobble my way to bed too full to sleep before I go…

  • Candy is NOT trash!!!

    It’s pretty bad when a piece of partially wrapped candy gets thrown in the trash can and you actually THINK about going in after it!!! Yup!! Gretchen threw away CANDY!! And I contemplated going in after it. I just couln’t bring myself to be that person! (Had it been a Reese Peanut Butter cup MAYBE!!) Instead I settled for a Jell-O fat free pudding cup. 90 calories and actually really good!! So crisis averted again! (but still….BAD Gretchen!! BAD!!!) For the record…. no…. that is not me in the trash can. Gotta love the internet you really can find a picture of anything you want!!!
