It was ok to have pizza :)
Last night we had a pizza party for the basketball coaches and I had a salad, 2 pieces of pizza, and 1 cookie. There were all sorts of desserts and sodas but I drank water and only had one cookie. I knew it was coming up so I tried to eat light during the day to fit it into my calorie intake. I ate slow and it was so good.…

Starting over again
Oh my goodness it's been a while since I've been able to post anything. I've really been struggling lately. I have all these excuses that I was gonna say, but it really comes down to whether I want it bad enough or not. I made a choice to stop logging my food in on here because I become a little obsessed with calories and…

Day at the beach
Yesterday my boyfriend and I drove 2 hours to spend a day at the beach. It was wonderful and beautiful. The best part...I was wearing size 12 Old Navy shorts (which seem to be smaller than other stores size 12) and a strapless shirt! No fat was hanging out and I was totally comfortable. It's been a long time since I've…

Got the job
I got that job at Target! Well, after I pass the drug test I'll have it for sure. It's still retail, which I have lots of experience in but I'll be making more money than I did when I worked on commission at Sears. I'll be working full time with benefits. And it's right around the corner from my house so I can walk or ride…

My life recently
Well I have now gone 8 days without fast food and it's getting easier every day. The past month or so has been hard. My sister is home from college for the summer and it's been 2 years since I've lived with her. She's a college basketball player so she can pretty much eat what she wants. It's difficult because now our…

Prayers for my dad and his back
My dad has had back problems for quite some time now and he's been going to the doctor but the doc just thought it was normal back pain. But after losing some weight and walking every day and biking to work almost every day, his back was getting worse. The doc finally realized this was probably something serious. He…

No fast food days 4 and 5
Yesterday I didn't have any! My boyfriend and I did go to this really cute little cafe downtown and I only got a ham and cheese sandwich and turned down the fries. Today isn't over but I've already had the chance to get fast food and I didn't :happy: So far so good. Kels

No fast food day 3
Done with day 3. Today really wasn't difficult because I worked out hard and did a lot of cleaning. This weekend will be the real test. My boyfriend and I only get to see each other on Fridays and Saturdays and we usually eat out. Wish me luck. Kels

Went jogging/walking
I've been bad with getting my running in lately. It's probably been about a week and a half since I've stepped on the treadmill. But my sister (college basketball player) is home and she's been wanting to go jogging. I told her to make me go because I knew I wouldn't want to later in the day. So we went out and…

Oh what a beautiful day!
Hey y'all! I woke up in such a great mood, even with this stupid cold that won't leave me alone :grumble: I just got back from walking my dog and now I'm gonna wash my car. I've got to get my yoga done after that, then I'll clean. Also planning on getting some sun today :smile: Should be a wonderful day. Hope you all have…

No fast food day 2
Well I went to a summer league basketball game and made sure to eat before I left so I wouldn't eat out. My sister wanted fast food but I said no. Yay me! Kels

No fast food for me
I decided to post when I don't allow myself to have fast food since that's the big problem for me. This will hold me accountable. So this is day one with no fast food. I'm trying to go at least 21 days without it. I hear that's the length of time it takes to break a habit. Go me! :happy: Kels

Need to make a real change
I was so bad this weekend. Mom's 50th birthday...surprise party, Chevys and alcohol...lots of alcohol :drinker: But it's not only that that's bothering me. I've been eating whatever I want with portion control and exercising so I haven't been gaining weight but I haven't been losing either. Eating the right portions worked…

If you have a sore throat, try this...
I have this awesome book that's called Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things. It has all these wonderful ways to use things around the house for random stuff you normally wouldn't think of. Well yesterday I had the sore throat from hell. I read that if you combine 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and 1/4 cup of honey and take one…

Dream about you
Last night I had a dream with a lot of you in it! I was at an amusement park with sarge and joanna and we were meeting up with a lot of you guys. It was so real! I woke up and wanted to hang out with all of you! I guess I spend too much time on here :tongue:

A small victory that makes me feel super!
I got my big butt into junior size shorts at Macys yesterday! I've been back in junior shirts for a while but my freakin thighs and hips are so big so it's been a while since I've been able to fit into juniors pants. I was able to zip and button and stomach fat wasn't hanging over lol. Go me Kels

Some inches gone
I didn't measure myself when I started this whole thing. But 2 weeks ago when Renee started the showing skin challenge I decided I'd measure myself too. Today I took my new pic for the challenge and measured again. I lost 2 inches in my waist and 1 around my thighs! I haven't been losing weight the past couple of weeks…

Just do it
I have lost 24 pounds so far. And although I am not at my goal weight, I am still so happy with my body. I am a new woman. I'm totally confident in myself. I get hit on all the time :laugh: and I really believe it's because I carry myself in a much different way than I used to. My head is held high, I have a bigger smile…

what's your story
I was thinking we could all share our stories. Maybe the short version, maybe not. Who are you? How did you end up unhappy with your weight? What brought you here? Mine... I was a very active young person. Did track for 3 years. Volleyball for 4 years. Basketball pretty much my whole life. Never overweight. Had 17-20% body…

Anyone else have a cut off time for food?
Mine is no later than 7pm. No problem during the winter. Well, last night I was out after 8 and it was still light outside. I wanted to chow lol. I'm realizing that as it gets darker later, it's gonna be harder to stop eating when I want to. Anyone have any tips for me to not eat late?

random lightbulb moment
I'm a baker. I loooovvvvvvveeeeeee to bake! It makes me happy :happy: But like I've shared before, I tend to eat too much of what I bake :ohwell: So last night I made these super awesome homemade brownies with homemade chocolate frosting. I try to stop eating by 6:30/7 and this was after 8 so I knew I wasn't going to allow…

You can find motivation in the weirdest ways
So I got up to do my yoga today and I really didn't want to. My boyfriend and I are going for an hour walk later (both have the day off!) so I was like whatever with the yoga. I didn't do it. I go to take a shower and shave my legs and as I'm shaving, my calf happened to be flexed and I felt it. Holy crap it was like a…

little bit of a vent
There's a lot of stress right now in my life. Things with my sister, my uncle, my boyfriend, and my friend are going on. All different things. All equally important. All not fair. I wish I could magically make their lives easier right now. But life is hard and I just keep looking to God for strength. I did not sleep well…

Make sure you have a smart dog before doing this...
Does anyone watch the show, The Dog Whisperer? Well he takes dogs out on runs with bikes and roller blades. So I've been taking my dog out when I ride my bike and he's done pretty great. Last night I bought some roller blades for more motivation and to add another way of working out. I thought, "hey maybe I'll take my dog…
