incentives for goals!
So I'm trying to set some incentives for myself to achieve my goals. I'm at the point where i'm not as worried about what the scale says and more about what my jeans are looking like. That being said...i'm pretty much the "size" I want to be/remain in. (Didn't seem like i'd ever be able to say that). As my goals switch…

Eating Clean Rookie

I've done really well at eating clean today (except for the iced coffee...somethings just can't be quit cold turkey), but I need some favorites/staples from…

NSV goal in sight....
So in a moment of sheer impluse, I went to the Buckle to "try" on Miss Me jeans to see how far I was from my goal size. I was soooooo stoked when I tried on the 26's and (after some Olympic worthy moves), they actually buttoned. I was actually ok with walking out of the dressing room to show my friend. Now, i'm NOT the…

From here on out, I refuse to let the scale keep me down because my measurements don't lie. January 1, 2010 was an eye opener when…

RECOVERY & EXERCISE
I am 2 weeks out from umbilical hernia surgery and feeling much better. I went for a little hike Monday night (Dr okay'd it) and I ripped the edge of my incision and had to have it stitched back together.

After hitting a major plateau in July, I stalled out at 142 but maintained it til the…
