17 pounds later ....

Fri, 5 Apr 2013 13:13:16 EST

Well I was hoping to be around 142 about this time on my journey, but 17 pounds later at 150.6 I find myself so grateful for being able-bodied and having a choice to live healthy.

Still need to work on my sugar intake and get more veggies in. That is my rejuvenated goal that I have pushed the reset button on.

Happy weight loss everyone! Just doin it ! 213

Ode to Spring

I can't believe that another season change has come around. On this journey of self-improvement, I must admit I was much more dedicated in the beginning. I shall follow the way of spring and let it rejuvenate my determination. Swim suit season is just around the corner :) 211

Not Down with the Sickness

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:18:59 EST

Today would be day 5 or 6 (depending how you look at it) of my experience with the Flu. I am not 100%, but I feel A LOT better. My temp. seems to have stabilized. It is at 99.4 without Tylenol, down from 103.

Needless to say, I haven't been able to work out or go to work for the last 5 days. But ... I've lost about 3 1/2 pounds in that time due to the sickness.

I have faith that I will be all better by tomorrow. Looking forward to getting back to my exercise.

Starting to see changes

So, I am on day 7 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I still need to work harder on my nutritional plan. I am seeing more definition on my sides and arms. More importantly, I have been feeling a tiny bit more comfortable about myself. I didn't feel such a emphasized need to tug at my clothing and was sitting more naturally when I met a couple people for cocktails last night. I know my current mannerisms are clear indications of battered self-esteem. I also know that it will take practice, even...

Pushing through it

Mon, 3 Dec 2012 23:33:38 EST

I am feeling soooooo tired and way less motivated then I was on days 1 and 2. Work has got me wanting to strap myself to my pillow the moment I walk in the door. Nevertheless, I am about to push through the 30 Day Shred Workout, at least level 1, and the Team Nonstop goals. I logged on here and decided to stick to my guns about my commitment to get lean and toned . Here we go.

Soreness

After my workout today I am really feeling it in my legs, and I have a slight tingle in my shins. I think tom. will be a good day for low intensity exercise. I have had shin splints before and I am not interested in having them again. Plus the upper thigh muscle in my left leg is tight. I am thinking for tomorrows exercise I will put in an hour of walking in the gym along with the team non stop goals.

Goodbye Hazelnut Coffee Creamer

Gotta cut the creamer. Even though it is fat-free, it is not worth it the way it gobbles up my calorie space. Picked up Truvia today. This is not going to be easy.
