Aren't Goals supposed to encourage you, not depress you???
After a very loud heart to heart with my husband it truly came out that I am disgusted with myself and NOT happy. He pointed out that I shouldn't bother putting so much pressure on myself to lose weight when all I do is gain it back. Although it didn't come out that way. LOL I told him he didn't need to point out the…

Heartrate monitor suggestions?
I've had my chest strap monitor for about 10 years and I think it is finally done for. Half the time it reads my HR at zero so how accurate can it be when I'm doing a killer Combat Fitness Class for 45 minutes and it has me at 110 calories burned. So...I am looking for suggestions, what are some of your favorites and why?…

My newest Mantra...
This was taken from an interview with "Danni" from the Biggest Loser. It stuck with me and is very powerful. "I will beat her. I will train harder. I will eat cleaner. I know her weakness. I know her strengths. I've lost to her before, but not this time. She is going down. I have the advantage because I know her well. She…

POLL: Who here plans a menu for the week?
My DH thinks I'm obsessed because I plan out a menu for the week, he just doesn't realize that not only does it keep me on track BUT it truly helps keeping me in budget at the grocery store so I only buy what I need to make those meals. Does anyone else go to that kind of detail for planning meals for the week?

See Food MUST eat!
I was thinking about this last night "mindless eating" and I am just as guilty as the rest. Polishing off some pretzel M&Ms without even being hungry, and of course I felt ill afterwards. WHY??? Why do we graze when we're NOT hungry. Why are we hardwired to be attracted to delicious smells and beautiful looking food (even…

Think my husband is sabotaging me....

Not having a good week... :(
Over the last 2 weeks I did everything right, including working out everyday. So when I got on the scale and only saw a 4oz loss it was quite depressing.
