Sometimes people suck!
I posted this on facebook this morning but I wanted to share it in here too. To the two men in the red car: I was in a great mood this morning when our paths crossed. My kids left early for a day trip with my parents and I had enough time to sneak a walk in before work. I was happily walking along when you made the…

No More Excuses
"Between work and the kids activities I have no time to fit in exercise", "Eating healthy is so expensive", "By the end of the day I am so tired", "I am never going to be skinny, why bother?", "I can't afford to go to the gym" and on and on and on.... Well I decided to LET GO of my hundreds of excuses about why I am…

Make this better...
A co-worker told me to try a super simple recipe that she loves, I did and I like it but it could use something else. It is a low fat Devils food cake mix and a large can of pumpkin, mixed, put into a Pam sprayed muffin tin and baked for 20 min at 400. That is it. It is good, but a bit bland, if it is going to be a treat…

Radio changed my life!!!
Last Christmas I weighed more than 290lbs, I was uncomfortable, unhappy and unhealthy. I had given up on myself and that was that. I ate what I wanted when I wanted and I moved as little as possible.

Something so Silly
This weekend I had so much fun and did something that I didn't think that I would ever do again in my whole life. I went to a water park and had a blast with my kids and husband. I wore a bathing suit in public, walked around in it and everything all day long and it didn't bother me at all!! 95 lbs ago I would have never…

Thats Okay, I didn't like her anyway!!!
I was filling a photo album with pics from last summer and I came across a bunch of pictures of a woman that I Did Not Like!! She was lazy, overweight and unhappy. She had no self confidence and was grouchy all the time. This woman would have rather sat on the couch watching her kids play than get on the floor and play…

Caught in the Act!!!
I was at home today cleaning the house for my daughters 1st and 4th Birthday party.

Setting a Goal Weight?!?
I am in a TOPS group and we have to get a doctors note with a goal weight for the group. I went to my doctor and got my note and I am really upset about the weight that was set.
