Hello Again!

Sun, 5 May 2013 14:24:08 EST

I'm back after a long hiatus. I'm currently wanting to lose 50lbs and become healthier. I work from home for Nordsrom Direct , and I'm also an Independent Scentsy Family Consultant. That puts me home on my computer a large portion of my day. I started working at home the very end of February and I've already packed on 10 more pounds.
My lifes in a really good place right now. My children are grown and young adults. I have an amazing boyfriend, who also wants to lose weight. We both just ...

I love this! I wan't to throw it at all the men that have ever said anything over 150lbs is fat lol. This is very cool to compare your body to other peoples. Sometimes we don't see ourselves for what we truly are. Enjoy! And maybe even send in a pic!

Awesome weather is here!!!

Fri, 15 May 2009 14:00:01 EST

Yay! I can't stand the rain lol. So today I may head over to Forest park. I'm waiting for my son to get home so I can drag him along with me. Now call me a chicken or paranoid or whatever you want but nobody's going to catch me on a trail in the woods alone! I've seen way to many movies and watch and read the news far to much! lol.

I still haven't found my knee brace and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I loaned it to my brother. I'll have to give him a call. So I'm not so sure how...

Knee Pain

Thu, 7 May 2009 19:31:01 EST

Well I've did the couch to 5 k yesterday and ran a bit today. I typically run half the track to where I go to the sidewalk to walk home. Then when I get over to the road I jog the sprint to the driveway. So anyway. My knees are killing me. My left one in particular. About two years ago I did something to it when I was moving. It was pretty sore and achy for awhile. Then when I hiked Wallace Falls with my X he had to lend me a hand and I had to put pressure on my left knee to get up each step....

Well, I didn't a chance to walk last night but I was running around all day. Had to go get my hair done and go get groceries and shop for an outfit to wear out with the girls. I had a soda - Shame on me LOL but ONE in a week's time is not bad. I didn't finish it gave my son 1/2 because he's complaining I don't have soda in the house anymore booo hoooo! I've found I'm drinking a ton of cyrstal light. Much liquids than when I just drank soda!

Today, more of the same I'm going to the ...

Questions

Can someone tell me the best way to keep track of walking and jogging on here? I didn't see anything for that and just wanted to keep tabs and post it on here. This site confuses me and I'm trying to keep my fat butt off Facebook and get addicted to this site instead lol

Couch to 5k Day 1

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:03:42 EST

O.k.......... Day 1. I can't breathe! I made it the full 60 seconds the first two times then the rest were about 55 to 50 seconds before I had to stop. I did the full podcast though! Now that I've got home and sat down on the sofa I feel like I'm going to pass out!! HOLLY COW. Seems like I may have to do the first week a few times. I still did it...........:o)

Lil update!

So I've walked almost every day. I skipped one day... The day it rained I walked to the school to the other side of the track where theres a storage shed and I ran all the way back to the street. It's not far half a track and then a bit more but I figured since I couldn't go on to long of a walk Id jog a bit and get my heart rate up!

I've had half a glass of diet Pepsi since my post on the 26th. We were at Applebee's for my birthday dinner so I figured what the heck!

Yay Me!

So I've walked the last three days. I've also went 2 day's with no soda. I've made a 1 soda a day rule but I'm trying hard not to drink one at all. I have the fridge loaded w/ice tea and crystal light. I've also made a point to make dinner and eat before 5. This is huge for me because as someone with A.D.D I have a lot of trouble sticking to a schedule and we have always ate,,,when we eat. Most the time it can be as late as 8 or 9. Especially when it's sunny out. Soooo Today I'm super proud o...

I'm a slacker

Well, life hasn't been to easy for me since I joined. Sorry I've been M.I.A. I broke up with my boyfriend in May of 08 and went from 185 back up to 207. I'm dealing with some GERD issues, probably caused by my gallstones and I really feel like the medicine's effecting my weight as well. I swore when we broke up I wouldn't fall back into this hole and lock myself away from the world. I wanted to continue to have fun and get out of the house and do things. So much for that!

So here I...
