Wednesday Wish? My ankle would get better. I'm really ready to get focused on my exercise and make it a daily routine, but this ankle pain has got to go. The saying "No pain. No gain." is BS. I'm in pain and there is no gain right now. LOL! Last night I pushed myself too hard. I had to make a grown-up decision and not…

Rough start to my day, but luckily the day did get better. After a late night of football, I was ready to crash last night. I’m up at 5:45 and got to work at 7. Cyrus calls at 7:20 and can’t find his glasses anywhere. Sure enough they got thrown in my purse last night before the game. I got home by 7:50, dropped off the…

I get a newsletter or e-mails from MFP with some great tips. This article popped up today and that's exactly what this group is all about "Finding people to share your journey." You guys are my people!!! Enjoy!! The #1 Habit You Should Have to Lose Weight (It’s Not What You Think!)A while back, a few of my colleagues and I…

Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope it was a good weekend with food choices, exercise and life in general. My weekend was OK. Saturday was a blur as I volunteered twice at the ball field (concessions, 11-1 and gate sales, 5-7) than Cyrus had a football game at 7:30. Some of the families go out afterwards so we didn’t get home…

Woo Hoo!!! It's Friday - FINALLY!! The week has been good overall eating and exercise. I've just been feeling really lethargic for some reason and just not sleeping well (hence the feeling lethargic). LOL!! Hopefully, things will start balancing out soon. I do feel like I'm in a good pattern though. Plus, I'm 6 weeks…

Good Morning and Happy Thursday!! Boy, I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. It's been a good week, but super busy at work. I just need to find some extra rest this weekend. Definitely not getting enough sleep that's for sure. Food choices and water intake was good yesterday, but no exercise. My friend Greg came over and building…

Happy Hump Day!! Well, I barely made it to class last night. I wanted to strangle my son. I'm about to drop him off at 6:45 so I can make my 7:00 class. "Mom, where are my cleats? There not in my bag." Of course, he forgot them at home. We drive back home, grab the cleats, take him back to practice and I get to class about…

Happy Tuesday!!! Yesterday was good food wise, but just a long day. Our new hire started so I worked with him quite a bit on our systems and processes. He seems like a real go-getter hence one of the reasons we hired him. I think he’s going to be just fine. The rest of the day was a scramble. Cyrus had a football game on…

Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope you had a great weekend. Why do they have to fly by so fast though? I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning that’s for sure. Weekend was good. Cyrus had physical therapy Saturday AM than we ran some errands, had breakfast out then just worked around the house (laundry, cleaning –…

Woo Hoo!!!! It’s Friday!!! I love short weeks. With the long holiday weekend and a short work week, I’ve been a happy girl. Next week will be my first full week of work in a few weeks. Oh well. I’ll just keep smiling and pushing through. Eating has been on target. I worked out last night for the first time in a week or so.…

Happy Hump Day!!! Yesterday was good. Eating was on track. No exercise yet, but soon. I'm so cautious now that I've given my heel some rest I hate to aggravate it again, but I know I need my exercise too. The weight comes off so much better when I do both that's for sure. Cyrus' football team won their first game last…

How ironic, but I was on here last Tuesday saying the same thing – Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I guess with the long holiday weekend my week just got by me. Last week was good, but busy. I took Friday off as well to give me an extra-long holiday weekend, which was nice. The only problem I had to squeeze a 5-day work week into…

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Well, I kind of blew my weekend. Oh well. It’s just two days – right??!! My girlfriend was in town and we had a free Saturday night. Once I dropped Cyrus off, we went for margaritas than 90-minute foot massages (heaven!!). We then went back to the party to check on the kids then grabbed dinner. I…

Happy Friday Everyone!! It’s been a LONG week and I’m so glad the week is over. Work has been super busy as we prepare numbers for the upcoming holiday season. Vendors have already ordered raw materials and will start production soon. 70% of our annual sales are during the holiday. Its nuts!!! My week has been really good.…

Happy Hump Day!! Another good day yesterday. Food choices were on target. Class was tabata last night, which kicked my butt!! Sweated profusely. Today has been good so far. I'll just keep taking this one day at a time. @grandmakaye44 - You've been there for me so you know I'm going to cheer you on. Baby steps - right??!!…

Happy Tuesday!! Yesterday was good just long. Up at 5:30, work by 7, worked through lunch, home at 5:30, made sure Cyrus had dinner and football stuff was ready, out the door at 6:30, dropped Cyrus off, exercise class from 7-8, back to football for another hour, home around 9:30, quick bite to eat of Bison & Zucchinni…

Happy Monday Friends! I hope the weekend was good. Mine was OK for the most part. Cyrus played in his first official football game and actually got to go out for the coin toss. Poor kid was pulled from offense to defense and wasn’t sure what he was doing. Coaches definitely know he needs more practice, but I know they see…

Happy Friday Everyone!!! Well, my first week back has been good. 5 days logged. Woo Hoo!! Except for 2 bites of Cookies & Cream ice cream and 2 Chocolate Chip cookies I’ve done really well. This is the second week without Diet Coke. I’ve been getting well over 120+ oz of water every day. Tonight will be 4 workouts this…

It feels good to be back. I'm not saying I've been perfect every day because I haven't, but that's reality. I have been learning with each slide down I start to climb back out. The downward spiral is getting smaller and smaller each time. I'm on my second week without Diet Coke - a miracle. Trying to replace it with water,…

Boy, I picked a good time to reconnect. The thread has been super quiet. I guess with school starting everyone is trying to find that balance. Another day complete. Overall, it was a good day minus a couple of bites of Cookies & Cream ice cream. Plus, I didn't get to work out. I was dressed for it and took Cyrus to…

Monday Check-In: Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was good just busy all weekend it seems. After work Friday, I cleaned like a mad woman. I hate cleaning, but hate tying up my Saturday/Sunday so try to keep it up during the week days. Over the weekend, eating was good for the most part…

Happy Friday everyone!! Two days in a row. Can you believe it? Yesterday was a good day eating and exercise. I'm really pleased with the week overall. Of course, I was an emotional wreck last night. Cyrus is really pushing my buttons and the teenager is coming out. He told me last night it would be better if Aunt Sharon…

Happy Thursday!! Work out was great last night. Upper core and I'm definitely feeling it, but that's a good thing. Eating yesterday was on target. Crazy schedule today at work with back to back meetings through lunch, which is not good. I'm planning to eat a snack right before and will eat a late lunch. I have to keep my…

Long post so I’ll apologize early. First and foremost I’ve missed you guys!!!!! Where has the time gone? It’s been about 6 weeks since my last post. I guess I’m struggling more with my work/life balance than I truly want to admit. I’ve FINALLY decided I’m ready to get focused again. Back in April I had a complete physical…

I know, I know I’m an awful friend. I’m not sure why, but I just haven’t felt like being online. It’s nothing against any of you and I do miss your friendship. Works been super busy and I’m on the computer ALL day. I hate getting back online at night, but if I don’t find time during the day I just don’t check in. I haven’t…

The past few days have been OK. Eating has been decent minus Burger King last night. What a waste of calories. Yuck! Cyrus has a flight tomorrow AM and will be spending the rest of the month with my parents in Sarasota. FREEDOM!! You know I love my son, but this single mom is ready for a break. I haven't done much cooking…

Hello my friends!!! Lord, have I missed you guys. I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, Tracy (GOINSTD12), my issues seem so irrelevant when compared to losing the love of your life in the months/years ahead. I was so glad we were able to meet and your family is definitely in my thoughts and prayers. I’m afraid…

Another super busy day, but I’m getting things done. Today Cyrus is officially a teenager celebrating his 13th birthday. It’s so hard to believe how fast the years have flown by. To think I went in for day surgery to remove a tumor, which was luckily benign and they couldn’t get the tumor without delivering my baby boy. So…
