I Have Once Again Broken My Foot
GAAAAH!!! Back in October, when I was really on a weight loss roll, I broke my foot. I didn't even break it in some fancy shiny type of way – I just stepped off of the front porch step slipped and broke it. By monitoring my caloric intake like a hawk, I was actually able to lose the weight I wanted to prior to going on…

Broken Foot - HEALED!
So a few months ago I posted about breaking my left foot. It turned out that I was in that danged boot for 9 WEEKS, but last week I finally got clearance from my ortho that it was healed and I could go back to working out <3 Today was my 1st day back and it felt SO GOOD to move again. Oh my gosh, I was smiling/grinning…

The Prospect of Turning 50
Hello Fabulous 40s! One motivator for me to lose weight this time (I've done this before LOL) is the fact that I am turning FIFTY in 2017 (oh dear god, please save me). I have heard that it becomes so much harder to lose weight in your 50s. Knowing this, I determined that I WILL NOT start my 50s as an overweight person! I…

My Success Story with Only One Photo :)
This is me tonight, reading out on our deck, very little makeup, no body pics, but I am really pleased with my weight loss thus far and wanted to share. So, thank you for reading :) Back in 1995, I was a young, overweight mom of 2 kids who weighed in at 235 lbs (5'9"). My younger brother was visiting, and as I was making…

Skiiers!
I used to really love skiing, and then I gained a bunch of weight. I still loved it, but it was harder and so much work to make it down the mountain (BURNING quads), and I've not skiied in probably 8 years. Now that I've lost most of the weight I need to lose (15lb to go! Yay!!), I am really, really looking forward to…

Moms of College Freshman Teenage Daughters? Anyone??
O. M. G. Save me from my 18 year old. Love her, love her, love her. My youngest, my sweetheart, my angel. BUT SHE IS MAKING ME CRAZY. I think we have made her life too easy. She's away at school an hour south of us and is MISERABLE living away from home. Kid? Do you have ANY IDEA how fortunate you are to be going to school…

BEST Concert You've Been To?
My fellow music lovers, I see a thread about the last concert you went to, but what about the BEST? I have been to so many excellent shows.

Please Go To The Bathroom First!!!
Gross. I take pretty high intensity dance aerobic classes and there is nothing that is worse than breathing in a quick breath of fart air from the person in front of me. Seriously. Go to the bathroom and get it all out before you start working out. Ick. :D
