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 [...]



Go, Purple, Go!

So, I mentioned that I am on Team Purple for the newest Sisterhood challenge…and I said I would put up links for my teammates and their blogs.  I am going to make good on my promise!  Here are the ladies of Team Purple! 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 [...]



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 [...]



um, yeah, hi.

So it has been a long while since I’ve written but hey, I have been busy and the weather here has been more than beautiful so we have been outdoors a lot. Today is my husband’s first day back to work since December. He works a seasonal job paving roads and parking lots so he [...]



At least something is making me happy (Wednesday Weigh-In)

There are so many horrible news stories right now, it’s downright disgusting.  I cannot really stomach anymore bad news or sad stories.  I just can’t.  For many weeks, I have stayed steady on my weight.  I haven’t gained, I haven’t lost.  While I am thankful for the lack of gains, I was starting to get [...]



Motivation I Needed

We have our vacation to the beach coming up in mid May.  I can’t wait to go and I have been trying to watch what I eat and I have been successful in drinking only water.  I have been going to the gym when I can.  I’ve lost a good amount of weight since November….ten [...]



Wednesday (well, make it Thursday) Weigh-In

So, I’m a day late, shoot me!  I have been sick all this week so my mind is a little off.  Monday night I had a fever of 102 degrees and since then, I am left with an awful cough and stuffy nose.  I haven’t gone to the doctor because I am stubborn but I [...]



Wednesday Weigh-In that isn’t.

Today is weigh-in day for the challenge and I have nothing to report.  I swear that I will be buying a scale so that I can do better!  I was able to make it to a yoga class on Monday night where my sister joined me and we had fun!  She nearly fell over doing [...]
