Snacking and Baking
It is that time of year. I am baking like crazy every time I turn around. I was smart this year and didn't bake a ton really early and snack on them all month. I also decided to cut back on all the ones that I really love so I wouldn't pig out. Then last night I had eaten a really healthy baked salmon with a spinach salad…

NSV-Thanks work!
So, I started a new job a month ago and since then I have been very fortunate to be put on a team that we all do desk workouts everyday and we go to a local Zumba studio every saturday and meet up. I love it. On to my NSV, the ladies convinced me to do one of the walking portions of the local Heart Walk and 5k. I am…

Anyone tried Piloxing????

NSV-New Job
I set out the new year wanting to catch my husband who has been losing weight and after a miserable birthday(1/8), I also resolved to get a new job. I could no longer take my current work situation and rather than just settle and complain I started hunting for a new job. Tomorrow I start that new job and it is everything I…

Need a little support today. It's time to bake cookies....
That time of year again. Going to the inlaws for the cookie bake. In years past I always had to work. Now I go. I usually am pretty good about avoiding eating the dough, but you know how it goes when you get a little on your finger, you lick it off. once isn't terrible but this is a marathon event and oh the smells nearly…

Grocery store on weekends = BAD IDEA!!!
I went to Kroger to get some dinner supplies. I made sure I ate before I left. (Yeah me for thinking ahead) Of course I never shop on weekends because I work retail and I usually don't have weekend days off. Anyway, they had free samples EVERYWHERE! yummy cinnamon bread, ice cream and cookies and meats and chips..... I…

Recommitting to me
Wasn't really sure where to put this but I'm figuring motivation works. Okay, I'm back. I'm determined and my husband is here to help. I lost the weight I wanted to for my wedding in August! Woohoo! What people forget to tell you after the wedding is 'happy' weight sets in. DANG IT! I saw my weight going up and kept…

What keeps you accountable?
April seems to be getting a lot of people down today. I've seen a lot of posts about people wanting to give up and it bothers me. There is no magic fix. There is accountability for what you are doing. Don't lie to your diary and your scale won't bite back. Okay rant portion done. What is holding you accountable for your…

Talking to yourself...
So today i had a really rough day staying motivated through my workout. My gps on my phone that tracks my miles was acting up (thankfully I also use a pedometer in addition to my cell app) and I just felt really really tired and did not want to do anything, but I did it, by talking to myself. I litterally was telling…

Athletic Shoe question
Didn't know exactly where to post this question but.... In the middle of my cardio workout my right sneaker lost the treading (peeled completely off) and they were my only workout shoes. It has been a while since I bought shoes and I figured I should ask ya'll what you recommend. I do a lot of kickboxing style workouts as…

Jillian Michaels' BFBM and NMTZ
Has anyone had success using these dvd's? I just started using them regularly, but I can't even make it 30 minutes in before I need a break. Did anyone else have this trouble? I am also walking about 4mi an hr once a day (provided the stupid snow and ice are not ruining the parking lot I use.)

Frustrated with Chinese food!
I had been craving chinese food like no other for about a month. I know that it is one of the absolute worst takeouts you can get, so I decided I would get one of the at home single serving meals. Good grief do I regret the 480cal. I wasted on that! Not satisfying at all and I've blown through almost 500cal! I know I can…

Hi! My name is Erica and 5'3 and weighed in this morning at 147lbs. I am shooting to lose another 22lbs in time for my wedding in August. I have been on my weight loss journey for almost a year now. Two years ago my fiance and I were both unemployed and I got up to 168lbs. I was miserable and angry at myself for gaining…
