sometimes you just have to do it
Today I DID NOT want to work out. I had the flu over the weekend and we're getting ready to go on vacation so I just figured why bother. But I finally just made myself do it. And now I feel so much better. It's amazing to me what 30 minutes of exercise can do for you!!:wink:

Travel Hangover!
Oh my! I was traveling all last week and I don't know what happened. I worked out the first day and felt great! But by day 2 I was a room service junkie followed by "vacation" foods (ie fried, fast, fattening). So this morning I got back to oatmeal and egg whites, Chicken and rice for lunch, two 100 calorie snacks and I am…

The Biggest Loser show- does anyone know?
I watched this show for the first time ever last night-- holy moly!!! I loved it!! I cant believe I've never seen it!!! A couple of things I was curious about though- They all are wearing some kind of band on their arms- is this a heart rate monitor? How many hours a day do they excercise? I am so envious of them, but of…

New Pic
Okay, so I just posted a new pic of myself. In total I have lost 17 lbs. and I can really see it in my face compared to the old pic I had posted (the one of me, my hubby and son). I also can feel and see it in my stomach and a little in my legs. This is great motivation for me and for those out there just beginning. The…

Victories large and small
We all know this but sometimes we could use a reminder. It's important that we celebrate all of our victories, large or small, and don't let the setbacks set us back. I managed to avoid eating pizza at home Wed. night and then there were tons of snacks (which I avoided) at a conference I attended on Thurs. There was a…

No loss this week...
I just weighed in after three 30-40 minute HARD work outs this week and staying within my allotted calories for each day. No loss :noway: This may be a strange question for some but, have any of you women experienced a slow in loss when you are on your monthly cycle?

All Willpower Out the Window
Welp. We have not been sleeping well over the last week and when I don't sleep, all I want to do is EAT!!! I know that I'm comforting my lack of sleep with food, but geesh. I've been in a crummy mood, even though I did exercise, which usually lifts my spirits. The exercise was just a chore. :grumble: I now know why I've…

People not getting it.
:grumble: I am having a hard time with the whole weight loss thing. Not in the "doing" part of things, but the motivation part. I started going to the gym in the mornings, because I get a free membership at my college. I have been coming in to work closer to eight. (Not that it is a problem.) So naturally, the girls I work…

Lost ambition
I was doing soooo good eating right, exercising almost daily. But, 3 days ago I found out I'm laid off of my teaching job next year because of budge cuts. Usually, I'm pretty upbeat and don't let stuff get me down, but lately, I have had NO ambition to do anything. Can't really search for a new job until April after the…

Diet Devotion - March 1st
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. My mother cut out all between-meal snacks whenever weight became a problem for my sisters or me. She kept careful watch on us, to make sure our weight didn't get out of control. I resented it when I was young,…

A whole month blown!!!
February was NOT a good month for me!!!! I'm sure I have gained some weight. I haven't been on the scale in a couple of weeks (afraid to!).

Songs to remember them by...
Cara has a great suggestion - she is going to think of a song I can put on my IPod to listen to while I'm climbing those 69 flights of stairs - to honor her Sister in Law. If' you'd like to - send me a song request and I'll put it on my IPod. What a great way to remember loved ones that have died. And listening to those…
