Well, it’s been a whirlwind of a week for me. I’ve overeaten, been lazy, and just generally didn’t feel good. With my diagnosis of PCOS recently, I didn’t realize what a mood killer this condition can really be. I’m on medication to help with my cycles and they have been normal (very irregular before) until this current…

@tcunbeliever yeah, ours doesn’t have summer classes. It runs from October to April. This was her fourth year and every time it was time for practice I got a bunch of “do I have to?” and “aw! I don’t wanna go! I wanna play!” lol That’s why I think it’s time for a break. And thank you! I went way over my calories today but…

@WifiresGettingFit The recital did get postponed until this evening. She did very well. You can tell she’s starting to get a little burnt out with it. We’ll probably end up taking a year off of ballet unless she starts showing a real excitement about it again. Yes, I did do her hair. It’s actually super simple. You get…

@WifiresGettingFit Thanks! It’s been great. We’re supposed to get thunderstorms this afternoon/evening so Maddie’s ballet recital will probably be postponed to tomorrow night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, I got on the scale yesterday morning after my week of bad eating. I was a little scared to see how much…

Well I feel like I’ve been away for a long time. My husband had a business trip out of town and our daughter and I tagged along. It was fun to get away for a little while. However, eating was not good. I mean, it was delicious, but the unhealthy type of delicious. In-N-Out, McDonalds (not really that delicious but it was…

@totaldetermination So far so good. Thanks!

@tcunbeliever Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into doing that when we have the money to spend on shoes. I wouldn’t have ever thought to ask a coach. :)

Today was a good day minus the fact that I had to leave the gym early. So I barely got over my daily step goal of 8k steps. I ended up with 9242 steps. I stayed under my calorie goal and have also been trying to increase my water intake. That is still a work in progress. All in all I am pleased with how today went.

@tcunbeliever I went to Academy and found some good shoes a few months ago but I couldn’t find anyone to help me.....there was lots of associates but they were too busy socializing with each other :| .... that irritates me to no end. The one kid I got to help me had absolutely no knowledge of shoes. I knew more than he…

I’ve been doing real good to stay under my daily calorie goal. Ending the day with 15,745 steps. Pushed myself on the treadmill yesterday (did some jogging) and tried to push myself this morning but my shins were hurting too bad for it. So I just walked and said I’d try again tomorrow. I like to push myself but not so much…

@WifiresGettingFit Things are getting better. Thanks for checking on me. :) Things seem to be getting back to normal and my husband has been doing better mentally. We’ve even started getting our love life back. I’m still keeping myself somewhat guarded in case he takes a step backwards. But so far, so good. ~~ As far as my…

Did really well today. Stayed under my calorie goal and I’m ending the day with 14,672 steps.

Well, I spent the day yesterday grazing through the house. I started logging but quit cause I knew I was way over my calories. So far I’ve done much better today. Hopefully it continues that way.

Everything is going well. My legs are sore from the last 2 mornings at the gym. Weighed yesterday morning and was 219, this morning I was 218 so I’m working off all that delicious food I had this past weekend. Our move to Kentucky may happen sooner than expected if my husband gets too fed up with his job and quits. I don’t…

Happy Easter!!! Yesterday was our 12th wedding anniversary and it was definitely a weekend where the food was delicious and the calories didn’t matter. :D We went fishing, ate what we caught for lunch, had sushi for dinner and went to see Pacific Rim 2. I dressed as pretty as I possibly could and I was actually told I was…

Yesterday I actually went to the gym before I went grocery shopping. I ended up with 18,772 steps for the day. I didn’t get to log dinner since the meal at the church was potluck and most people brought casseroles. It was delicious, though. Today I’m going to run to town and see about getting my daughter some shoes for her…

@tcunbeliever Thanks! I didn’t even think about it possibly being water weight. I did real good today keeping my sodium and carbs in check. I hope I can do it again tomorrow!! We have our Easter fellowship dinner at church tomorrow night so I might end up over in calories. It’s a potluck dinner and I always overeat at…

Yesterday was the best day my husband and I have had in weeks! No tension, no awkward silences, no forced conversations. It felt so normal. I’m still praying and really trying to learn to put God first in my life. It’s definitely a process. I finally got back to the gym yesterday and ended up with 17,115 steps. I’m eating…

Today was better. Some conversations between my husband and I sounded forced but others were normal. We went for a walk after dinner and it was nice. I didn’t get to go to the gym pretty much all week. I had hurt my right foot (soft tissue injury) and had to ice it on and off, keep it wrapped and stay off of it as much as…

Doing better mentally this evening. When I got on the scale this morning, I had lost another 2 lbs. Met a friend for lunch and had to force half of my lunch down and the other half I pushed away. The stress of this is wearing me out. I have faith that the Lord will bring us through this, I just have to trust Him and not…

I’m really struggling this morning. I had to force my breakfast down. Hope the day gets better....

After my breakdown this morning, I have felt better. I’m even eating normal again. I’ve already had 670 calories and dinner will make up the remaining that I need. Trust me. Breaded and fried deer back strap with biscuits and gravy. lol A meal my husband had a lot back in SE Kentucky. We’ve been talking on and off on the…

Well, I thought things were improving between my husband and I but I guess I was wrong. The last 2 days have been bad. You could actually say that I quit eating since I was barely eating anything at all. Yesterday I ended the day with 423 calories and the day before with 565. It’s not that I wouldn’t eat, it’s that I…

@WifiresGettingFit That’s what I had to do today. I feel like I’ve wasted most of the day but I’ve iced my foot off and on and I’ve taken some ibuprofen to take any inflammation down. I did lay in the floor and lift some weights, so that’s better than nothing. I definitely won’t be exceeding my step goal today but I think…

Well, it was back to regular schedule today. I walked 4.5 miles on the treadmill at the gym today and we took a walk after dinner. I’m up to 18,619 steps!!! I ended up stepping on my foot wrong earlier and now it’s sore. I was telling Chris about it when my Maddie disappeared to the kitchen and brought me back a ziplock…

Today I had the ‘I don’t care’ attitude when it came to food. I didn’t even log a thing nor did I go to the gym. My granny, my dad’s mom, passed away this morning. She had Alzheimer’s for years so she’s now whole and standing in the presence of the Lord. She was a wonderful woman. She forgot who I was a little over 10…

First day of Spring Break was a success! I only got in a 30 minute workout but it was better than not going at all. I went over my daily calories today but only by 180 calories. It could’ve been worse but I definitely will try to control my hunger a little tomorrow. Hormones definitely won today. It’s getting to be that…

Did pretty good today considering we usually eat more on the weekends. I’ve got to get my sodium intake down, though. Today I was over 2000 mg of my daily goal. Tomorrow start mine and my daughter’s (Madison) spring break festivities!! I had plans to take her over to a friend’s house to play but my friend most likely has…

I did better today with my eating. I only have about 4,000 steps. Spring is here for us and it’s been absolutely beautiful! That’s all I have to report for today. :)

Well, eating 1200 calories a day and walking an insane amount of steps caught up with me today. I ended up with 1837 calories for that day. :s With my added activity points, I’m still considered under my total daily calories but I’m actually over if you don’t count those. Tomorrow is a new day! Spring break has started…
