A little disappointed...
Okay, I have been working my rear off and really watching what I eat with the exception of maybe 4-6 days (I usually give myself a "free" day once a week). I figured I would have lost much more than the 10 pounds I have lost. Yes, I know it is better not to lose too much too quickly, but I was hoping to see a larger loss…

Brought tears to my eyes.....
I have a wedding that I'm invited to this Saturday, so a week ago I went into my closet and all my dresses are a size 20 and/or 22. That's what I've been in for the last 6 years! I tried them all on and they fell off! It was a great feeling, but I was scared because that meant that I would have to go shopping!:frown: I…

OT - ZOOM teeth whitening
After years and years of soda pop and smoking causing my teeth to stain, I finally got the ZOOM treatment. I also have a front tooth that's dead, I had a root canal when I was a kid. A few years ago, I've been noticing that it also started to lose colour. I never showed my teeth much when I smiled because of this. I was…

A thought that brought a smile to my face...
Today I was working on my day 3 week 1 run for couch to 5k and I actually measured the distance I was running. All total in 30 minutes I made it 2.3 miles which was great, but there's more.

110 pressups in a row!!!

I <3 the treadmill!
Last night, I decided to leave my phone/pedometer in my pocket and see how the calories differed from what the treadmill tells me I burn. My phone has me put in my weight and height, versus just my weight like the treadmill does so I figure it's more accurate. I ended up burning 60 more calories than the treadmill said and…

I'll be damned!! They fit!
Well.... very interesting!! I bought this pair of light blue looking khaki type pants from Old Navy, a size 10 when they were on clearance for like $10 bucks and knew that one day I would sqeeze myself in them. Size 10 is my desired size from a 12/14 and some 16's. I tried them on every couple weeks mostly to torture…
