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 weighed in this morning at 204.3 lbs which is a 3.3 lb gain for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far back down to 51.7 pounds. I’m struggling. There, I said it. I don’t know why that’s so difficult for me to admit. I suppose nobody really likes to admit failure. [...]
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 [...]

They were still marking the route just a few minutes before the race began and it was very confusing. There were several places where flags were [...]
We celebrated my mom’s birthday today and since I volunteered to make the cake, we had all sorts of sweet temptations lurking in my home all weekend…and I’m happy to report that I resisted it all. Well, I may or may not have had a lick or two of icing, but yeah. It was the [...]
Well, the good news is that I went back to the gym last night which was a first for me to go twice in one day! Another first was my total mileage for the day – 6.4 miles! This brings my total so far for the year to 25. The bad news is that am [...]
Well, the big news today is that I actually jogged tonight! Yep, I started out with my 5 minutes on the elliptical and then hopped on the treadmill to get my walking in. My sister (who works at the gym) was there and I told her that I wanted to start jogging some on the [...]
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 [...]
