Need Encouragement
Started IF and Ketoish diet on 5/31. Today I’m down 9 lbs. Yes it’s water weight, but still 9lbs less. Today I ran into the grocery store for some cheese and darn it, right in my face were these personal sized key lime pies!! Excuses I made in my head were, well, I’ll just have a little piece and give the rest to my…

Zumba
yes, I've become a fanatic. I love Zumba!!!! I just wanted to share my results with those who are either thinking of taking a Zumba class or are too afraid to take a class because they cant dance. I've been taking Zumba classes, today makes 2 months, I go twice a week although I wish I can go everyday. In these two months…

I'm not knocking anyones "diet" but....
I started a Paleo-like lifestyle on and off for a year now, but have become more stricter with it since Nov. I mostly eliminated all processed foods, except on "spike days", which are mostly every other weekend or when I crave them during that time of the month (TOM), and even STILL I lose, suprisingly to me. At the time I…

Invited to my ex's brother's wedding
Long story short, my ex and I did not end on a good note 3 years ago. He left me for someone who he is still with today. His brother wants me to go to his wedding. Part of me feels that I dont want to "party" with my ex and his girl, I suffered a great deal with that break up. I can't even let anyone get too close to me…

So my parents are telling me....
to stop dieting. I hadnt seen them in about a week or so, and they were both pretty shocked when they saw me. they say my face looks drawn and I look old. My sister who was also with them said "Oh my God!!! Stop dieting already and start eating". I promise you, I am not eating any differently, I eat my calories as well as…

what the....
I've read a few articles online about spin being a waste of time if looking for weight loss. That sucks because i just started spinning and I absolutely love it. I finally found an exercise that I enjoy and one that when I am done with the session, feel like I've burned tons of calories. Of course they say, you'll…

Afraid of weights.....
Someone posted a little while ago about pain in neck and area and I was reminded of my traumatic personal training experience. Last year I decided that I would pay a trainer to....well, train me of course. Shortly afterwards I started experiencing the worst headaches of my life. They were debilatating. One day I was in a…

So tired of....

The type of jeans that after washing you needed to lie on the bed to button because they were so stiff. And who the f**k invented jeggings? Makes me wanna smack the mess out of them!!! Sorry, went shopping…

Guys....I never get hit on
NEVER. EVER. I've been told that I am intimidating. WTF? See, here's the thing. I am 42, I have a good career and I dont particularly like feeling like all you want is a piece of a**. Nowadays, guys are basically looking for a hit it then quit it type of thing, a stick and move if you will. I am not looking for that. So I…

This week was.....
the hardest ever!!! I really felt like quitting. I am not happy with the way this week went. Between the binges and the sheer laziness, I didnt exercise since Monday and it wasnt because I didnt want to, I did, but Fat Girl won this week. She and I battle it out all of the time but this week I have to say, she won. She…

What a wake up call.....
Today I figured I would clean out closets and drawers of clothes that are now "too big" or so I thought. Either one of 2 things happened. (A).. I must've been really uncomfortable wearing these clothes, I distinctly remember a huge muffin top....or..(B) I really havent lost that many inches because the clothes I figured…

oh oh....I screwed up :(
Since Friday I've been eating EVERYTHING. I'm restarting my healthy eating tomorrow but I still cant help but feel like i could've made much smarter choices during my holiday eating spree. My stomach is achy, I'm bloated, and I feel like my 30 day progress has been pushed back to day 1. Sorry, needed to vent :(
