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 [...]
I weighed in this morning at 203.5 lbs which is a 4.4 lb gain for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far back down to 52.5 pounds. So at least now I know what to expect when I eat like crazy and don’t exercise for a week. Last week I used food to [...]
This will be a short post because as the title implies, I am SORE and very tired. I mean, sore like I’ve never experienced before. My legs are so sore that when I went to workout on the treadmill today, I literally couldn’t. My knees kept buckling and every few seconds I felt like I [...]
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! Wow, it’s that time again for another Perfect 10 Update…can you believe we’re already done with Week 4?? 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 help keep me on track to [...]
I had really good intentions this week, but have failed miserably on the execution of all said plans. Let’s start with Monday. I purposely decided that I wouldn’t do any exercise on Monday because I wanted to get up and go to the gym early Tuesday morning. It’s always hard for me to workout at [...]
Yes, ME. Can you believe it? I hardly can. The other day my sister informed me that my gym offers various classes from yoga to kickboxing that are free to members. Well, there was a kickboxing class tonight and I got brave and decided to join in. My legs are pure jelly right now. OMG. [...]
I had an intense (for me) workout in the gym last night. I walked 2.5 miles at 3.0 mph, sometimes upping it to 3.5 mph. I also did 5 minutes on the Spawn of Satan and some hand weight exercises. Here’s where I need to jump in with an arm update. You may or may [...]
Whew, been a while, eh? I must apologize for not updating sooner. It’s just been really hectic between Christmas and New Years as I’m sure you can imagine. I look forward to catching up with all my favorite bloggers! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday! I apologize in advance for the length of [...]
