I will get stronger and faster.One thing I will never understand is someone jogging and then lighting a cigarette when they are done. But, today, I saw a woman jogging WHILE smoking!!! What is…

NSV!!! At the South Texas State Fair!
My 14 yr. old son and I were going to ride this ride called the Himalaya! Well, the ride attendant asked us to switch places because the smaller person has to sit on the inside!!! He wanted me to sit on the inside! After losing almost 80 lbs., being told you're smaller than your 120 lb. 14 yr. old is AWESOME!!! Feeling…

Simplest breakdown of how to lose a lb. a week...ever
This helped me! A pound of body fat equates to approximately 3500 calories. So if you have a calorie deficit of 500 calories (meaning that you burn 500 calories more than you eat each day) you would lose approximately one pound per week: 500 x 7 = 3,500 It's easy to see that a calorie deficit of 1000 calories would mean…

water weight
My water bottle holds 20 fluid ounces of water. That is 1.3 lbs. Remember that when you weigh yourself. I weigh myself several times a day just to see how my body processes things. Crazy, I know. But it is funny to see the scale go up when I drink a full bottle with a meal or during a workout. haha!

NSV Shopping in my closet!
So, I cleaned out my closet yesterday and today. I'm getting rid of dozens of pieces that are huge on me, now. Best of all, I tried on clothes I wore on my honeymoon cruise 10 yrs. ago! They fit! I can even wear an old snakeskin mini skirt that I used to wear to Poison concerts! Most of those things were size 7 or 9! It…

New Year Pants! NSV
Spent New Year's Eve with my best friend of 30 yrs. After an awesome night of catching up, I tried on some of her jeans that she doesn't wear anymore. They fit, and some were too big. We can wear the same clothes again. That hasn't happened in 10 years. I'm in 9/10's once again! Whoo-Hoo! Now, that's a great way to start…
