Guess Who I'm going to see?
My husband surprised me last night with tickets to go see Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings!! I can't wait. He felt so bad because there was a couple other things I wanted to do this summer that we couldn't do because of timing or finances. The grand funk railroad is also going to be there (didn't know who they were at…

little brat
So today we took my 5 year old to this huge indoor playground where adults are encouraged to play with their kids. We're up there playing and there is one spot where you have to squeeze to get through the tunnel, and as I'm looking at it deciding whether to squeeze through or turn around this kid comes up to me and says,…

What I won't do
This is just a little something for me or anyone else who needs it. I've decided I want to get healthy now but don't want my weight to become an obsession like it usually does so: 1. I will not let my weight determine my self worth 2. I will not let my weight determine my happiness 3. I will not let my weight determine who…

Skinny b@*ch
I'm so excited, I bought this book (skinny *****) at a yard sale today for a dollar, I can't wait to read it, it looks so funny but so true! Unfortunatley I am the type of person who can only read one book at a time, and I still have 200 pages left of Duma key and it has to be back to the library by Tuesday.

the counting calorie question.....again
Alright, so I know about a week ago, I said it was time to get back on track.....I lied, I continued to eat like a pig. But now I'm ready, really ready. I promised that I would never get near the 200 mark again, but slowly I'm creeping up there. I have been on this site since March and haven't really lost any weight. I…

I am such a loser lol
So, I was being a little cocky with myself. I decided to go for a bike ride today.The last time I rode a bike was years ago, when I was at a very inactive stage of my life, and it did not work out well. So now I work out everyday for a half hour to an hour, I thought I would be able to kick butt on the bike. I told my…

went jogging today
So yesterday was a bike ride and today I went for a jog.....well I walked some too. I'm just getting bored with my everyday routine and am looking to switch it up some. Both days I only lasted 10 minutes or so, how long will it take to build up my endurance? I just feel like I'm not out there long enough to get any…

not gonna let it get me down!!!
So while I was burying my head in the sand, being all depressed, I binged and gained 5 lbs . Well, I've decided I will not let that pull be back down in the trenches. I did this to myself and now I'm going to undo it! I have quit smoking for 10 weeks now, and until my little set back I was doing great with the weight. I…

We were at the mall on the weekend and I saw the cutest thing ever. A onsie that says I crawl the line - Johnny Cash. I really must go back and get it, it better…

I'm feeling MUCH better
Thank-you everyone who replied to my last post, I have decided that I will not let this depression rule who I am anymore, it's not always going to be easy, but this is my life and I will control it from now on. If I want to be happy I am guaranteeing myself that I will be happy! I woke up this morning with a new outlook on…

in a bit of a rut
So, I don't really know why I'm posting this except that I guess I just need to get it out! I don't talk to my family about it because they think I will break, and I don't want sympathy! I've always had esteem issues, even as a child, then as a teenager I got involved with a mentally, verbally abusive boyfriend. He was my…

need info from former smokers please!
Lots of posts about smoking lately, and I'm glad so many people are trying to quit. I'm hoping to get some info, I googled it but didn't help me much. I quit smoking seven weeks ago, but the last couple of weeks when I workout I have been becoming more winded than when I smoked. Does anyone know if there is a scientific or…

ear is plugged
I've posted about this before but I'm going to post it again. Every time I do cardio my ear gets plugged and I'm really hoping someone has some suggestions on how to prevent it from happening. It's getting to the point where it is such an annoyance that as soon as it plugs I just want to quit my workout. Anyone have any…

woohoo I have outdone myself!!!
Just had to brag, I am so proud. Yesterday was my six week anniversay for no smoking and since then I have not gained one single pound instead I have lost 10 lbs. I never thought it could be done. Still a bit cranky though LOL!!!!

So I kept finding wrappers in my sons room everytime his friend was over and finally told my son when this friend was over they weren't allowed up in his room unless I was…

What is wrong with me...doh
So, I am extremely happy, am down 5 lbs, so how come as I write this I am eating a fudgeeo cookie. Something just does not compute there, it is not even my cheat day. I feel like I am letting myself down, and do not want food to make me feel this way. I am not even hungry and suppertime is only an hour away. Hang…

no workout today
GRRR, my husband got called in early to work today, so there goes my morning workout. it really burns me. I tried to do one but felt guilty when my poor 4 month old kept crying and crying, it lasted about 5 minutes. Then I have to get up early so I can watch my 13 year old son be presented with a falcon award on Wednesday…

Yesterday and today, I was working out to my slim in 6 dvd and got really lightheaded, and my right ear got plugged. I'm not new to working out, so I'm not overdoing it or anything like that. I don't drink water before my workout but during and after. I don't have a cold or earache. Just wondering if anyone knows why this…

back in my size 12's
I wrote last week about how my sweats kept falling down on me and decided to try a pair of my size 12's. Guess what - They fit, I am so excited. In the last couple months went from a size 16 back to a 12!! I'm still weighing the same which is a bit discouraging but it's worth it to fit in my pre pregnant pants again!! The…

3 weeks
So it's been 3 weeks now without a smoke, and I was really worried that I would gain weight. I have been really careful about not replacing nicotine with food and have not gained 1 single pound. And the last couple of days i've been working out and finding my sweat pants falling down, I've had to tighten the drawstring. I…

sedentary?
So when I first joined I put that I lived a sedentary lifestyle, which I understand means you basically don't do much? But I do 60 min of cardio everyday. On days my son is home we take about a 1/2 hour leisure walk, and when he's at school I usually walk briskly for about an hour. I also have a 3 month old baby so I'm up…
