I absolutely love the premise of the Exposed movement: Get in your skivvies, snap a photo, write a few words, and then hit “Publish”. I started putting my “Exposed” post together almost 2 weeks ago and am just now able to hit “Publish.” Yes, it took me that long to finish this post, but since [...]
One of my goals for 2010 was to organize a family reunion. As I posted the other day, we had it on May 29th and I had so much fun. Yeah, it was a little overwhelming to plan and I stressed myself out over way more than I needed to, but it went really well [...]
I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet this week. It’s been a crazy, hectic week for sure. I’ll start with today’s weigh-in: I weighed in this morning at 199.1 lbs which is a .3 lb loss for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far to 56.9 pounds. After the week I had, I’ll take [...]
I’ve been meaning to tell this story now for a few days, but have been otherwise preoccupied, so here goes. Thursday night we went to the fair. Now, I have to tell you I was SO looking forward to going to the fair this year being 43 lbs lighter. In years past, there were a [...]
I’ve decided to join the Weekend Warriors Challenge being offered by Brandon. Weekends are my weakness when it comes to exercise.

I got this idea from the lovely Mary over at A Merry Life and thought I would join in on the food love/hate fest. FIVE FOODS I USED TO LOVE: Burger King Whoppers I had these nearly everyday for lunch during the work week. MmmmMMm. I’d scarf two down, along with fries and/or onion rings [...]
I was scanning some old photos tonight and came across a couple gems I wanted to share, I hope you don’t mind. As you can see, my love of pasta began at a very early age! Of course there was also this picture: Yes, that’s me sitting on my dad’s weight bench (those are my [...]
Image by Pippa! Time again for another Perfect 10 Update. I can’t believe there are only two weeks left to this challenge! Wow, time sure does fly. Here were my Perfect 10 Goals and how I faired on each of them this week: Walk 100 miles over the course of the 10 weeks. This will [...]
Let me warn you right now – this is going to be a very long post. I am still computer-less at home for the moment. We are having a local PC shop build us a new one, which is new experience for us, I am excited about getting our new system just the way we [...]
My home computer crashed last week so between that and the death of my uncle and just the overall busy-ness of life, I haven’t been able to blog as usual this week. I did, however, weigh myself on Monday though, so here’s that result. As of Monday morning I weighed 218.0 lbs which is a [...]
