May Cycling Challenge
I am so sorry to be late getting this up. I have had a lot going on and I completely forgot that the month had changed. I am especially excited for this month. I got my bike (my first bike) for Mother's Day last year. I ended up taking it back and getting a real road bike. This is my 12th biking thread; I started the…

Body Revolution vs Other Jillian Workouts
I have most of Jillian Michael's workouts on DVD. I have done the Shred about 4 times, but whenever I finish it I just stop doing my workout. I have done the others off and on but the Shred is the only one I have really stuck with, I think that it is because of the 30 day goal. My question is: Is it worth spending the…

Just for Today
I once heard a very wise person say that she was just one cookie away from being 300 lbs again (she was about 150 lbs at the time). I thought that statement was a little drastic at the time. However, I have come to realize the truth of it. I followed a very rigid eating plan to lose the weight after my 4th child. But when…

The Eve of the New Year
Twas the eve of the New Year and so Katie said, "What shall I eat before going to bed? The New Year's tomorrow, my diet begins. What can I eat before this freedom ends? Pizza and bread sticks, Popcorn and drinks. Cakes and candies and cookies, Me thinks. When the New Year gets here, I'll begin anew." Then she looked at the…

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 3: The Revolutionary War Begins
I started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution today. After the first battle, Jillian is waving the victory flag. I had to rest more than I should have and I felt like I was going to throw up. I didn't throw up, and I'm not dead (whatever my muscles are wishing for) so I'll be back for battle 2 tomorrow. Anyone else starting…

I have been posting a walking challenge every month that I took over from someone else several months ago. However, I recently purchased a bike and would like to start a bicycling challenge, too.

I need a band-aid
It has been a very frustrating weekend. Nothing too terrible, just stuck home with my 3 youngest children while my husband is off on a camping trip with my oldest son. I've taken the children to the movies, we've played games, and just hung out. But now I'm tired and worn out and just feeling a little hazy blue. Just the…
