• Wanna lose weight?

    Just start a blog about your journey to lose weight. Seriously!! Your friends read the blog…. then give you THE LOOK when you reach for something that you really shouldn’t. Your co-workers say “are you going to blog that?” The lady at the drugstore that is staring at you while your in the candy aisle …is it because your hair is standing straight up? OR because you look like that girl on the Channel 10 Half Year resolution page? Hummmmm (okay so it was my hair.

  • No Frills

    Here’s my weekly no frills progress report (okay, who are we kidding? Of course, there will be frills!) I’m happy to report another 1.5 pounds gone! That makes 4 pounds total. Walked Monday through Friday with Kaki. I’ve added my weighted vest to my walking attire to burn more calories. The vest has weights you can add or subtract. I have 20 pounds in the vest now.

  • GRRRRRR…..

    Today was one of THOSE GRRRRRR days. Where you come home frustrated and mad. It took everything I had not to buy the 1 pound bag of Peanut Butter M&M’s and eat ‘em all. (For those of you who think I’m kidding…. ummm Serving SIZE equals CONTAINER size!! This goes double for M&M’s!) Instead, I bought the (normal) single-size bag. I ate the first few mindlessly………. realized what I was doing and slowed down and enjoyed the rest of the bag. (btw those bags are tiny!!) Where chocolate was supposed to make everything better, what I think I really need is a punching bag and channel Rocky Balboa! GGGRRRRR!!! Anyway,…
