Making Goals

I have always wanted to be a runner/jogger.  I think I may have mentioned that before.  When I joined the gym over a year ago, I would get on the treadmill and walk and jog and try to increase my jogging time with each workout.  I started out jogging for like 30 seconds or something [...]



Trying, I’m Really Trying

Okay, I said I was going to try to remain positive no matter what is thrown my way but it is really tough sometimes! I have been having some issues recently with my body and it really sucks!  I have been having bad pains in my lower back and abdomin.  I actually feel like I [...]



Self Esteem

It can be the best thing in the world or the worst thing in the world.  I guess it depends on whether you have it or not.  I go through phases I think.  In high school, I had a huge problem with this.  I had low self esteem but I was still happy and outgoing.  [...]



A Year Already?!

I visited Shrinking Jeans today to see what their next, new challenge included and they announced that the site is a year old in November already.  This means that it has been a year since I have started working out and losing weight.  I can’t even believe it.  As they say, time flies when you [...]



Taking Care of Me

I know I haven’t had any real posts in awhile.  I am sorry.  I just feel like I need more time in a day to do all the things that I want to do.  I don’t have that time.  I am here though and keeping up with everyone else’s lives!  I mentioned before how I [...]



Go, Purple, Go!

Melissa (who is from the Sisterhood!) aka Lissa Tammi Stesha Mendie Tami [...]



Trying new things

When I first joined the gym in November, I had plans to try lots of the classes but I didn’t right away.  I basically stuck with the elliptical machine, the treadmill and the exercise bikes.  I did each of those for twenty minutes a few days a week.  I felt great and was seeing slight [...]



Saturday Weigh-In (I know it is supposed to be on Wednesday)

Before vacation I was going to the gym four days a week and was so happy to be losing the weight that I was losing.  I was doing really well.  I had reached my goal weight and felt elated.  I had planned on continuing to work out while on vacation with two DVDs that I [...]



Busy is not even adequate

I have been running around like a mad woman for the past two weeks and I can’t even say that I have been busy because that doesn’t quite describe what I have been….it’s just not enough!! We are leaving in three days for vacation and I have so much to do.  I am doing a [...]



Wednesday Weigh-In

So, today is weigh-in day at the sisterhood and I was so happy to enter in my comment on the weight in post.  I am so happy because I have hit my goal weight!!!  I am down a total of ten pounds since the current challenge started!!  I feel just great.  I actually weighed myself [...]
