May be small but still a success
I did an extra 5 mins on the treadmill tonight. I even managed to run for about 30 seconds!! That is something I haven't done in YEARS!!!! While this might seem like a tiny victory to some, for me it's almost astronomical!!! Especially after how bad I felt about myself last night!!! I was going to try the 30day shred again…

dry skin
I have the driest skin in the world!! I have scheduled an appt with a dermatologist but it's not until the 30th. In the meantime, I have to suffer with this itching. It's so bad that I wake myself up scratching at night. I have made myself bleed from scratching so hard. I use lotion every day, I am drinking more water than…

I'm a product of my mom's childhood
I think part of the reason that I became so addicted to food is due to my mom's childhood. Let me clarify this. My mom grew up in the1940-50's before food stamps and welfare. She was the oldest of 7 children and her father died when she was 14. So she had to quit school to help care for the little ones and her mother…

30 day shred question
I just bought the 30day shred by Jillian Michaels. I know a lot of you love this video. Is there anyone out there that couldn't get through level 1??? It looks easy enough but I am so afraid I won't be able to do it. Why don't that have big people doing those videos too so we know we are not alone and we can do it too?…

Kinda bummed
So I have really been watching my calories but I really haven't been working out. So I know this is the problem. But I have only lost 5lbs in 19 days. My husban has lost over 10lbs in the same amount of time. It is also that TOM for me so maybe that's why I didn't see a bigger loss this week. I'm just on a pity party right…

Quick Question
This has probably been asked before so don't get mad if I'm a repeat offender but here's my question. You know how after you enter your food for the day and it tells you how much you will weigh in 5 weeks. I am just wondering, is that 5 weeks from the day you entered your food or from the day you last chaged your weight on…

What has been your proudest moment (not weight loss)
What are some of your proudest moments, othern than weight loss? Some of mine are: 1. Graduating High School (I know that doesn't sound like a big thing, but in my family, it's a GIANT thing as most of the older folks never got to finish) 2. When my children were born 3. When my grandson was born 4. Every time my dad told…

Yeah me!
I went to Wendy's and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, side salad, and small chili. Well after seeing the calorie count, I took off the bread and only at the chicken and the chili. I gave the salad to a co worker (I know I should have eaten that instead of the chili but it's cold out and I wanted something warm). Hey,…

Did a good thing ....
So Friday afternoon I was on my way to the store to get the ingredients for a soup. Well I get almost to the busy highway and a black dog darted right out in front of me. Luckily we weren't on the busy highway yet. So I pulled over and coaxed him into my car. He was the sweetest little guy. He looks like a mix between…

My daughter is funny.....
My 21 year old daughter just moved into her own apt and she doesn't have everything she needs yet. One of the things she is lacking is a microwave, granted not a necessity but a luxury. She says to me... "Mom, I cooked dinner last night and have left overs but no way to heat them up!" I told her she could heat them in the…

Get up early enough to fix hubby and me a healthy breakfast (did good today). 2. Plan and pack lunch the night before (did that) 3. Drink water (working on that one) 4.…

She came home
Yesterday I posted that my 12 year old dog was missing. Well, I left work to go look for her. I called her name a few times and looked around but I couldn't see her. There are lots of hills and trees where I live so it's kinda hard to see anything. So when she I didn't see her, I just went and sat on the porch and waited.…

Treadmill- Love it or hate it?
I am getting a treadmill this weekend and I was just wondering how many people love it or hate it. I never liked it in the gym but I think at home, with the stereo on and no one to distract me, maybe I will like it more. I won't have anyone next to me running on another treadmill. That always made me feel so self…
