Profile Information

About Me:

It seems that every time I turn around my profile is out of date and even false at that point. So I think I'm going to simplify it a bit. I am a 30-something mom of two amazing, young girls. I work full-time, but live to be a mom. I have struggled with my weight on some level my entire life. I lost all my weight at one point in my life to then just gain it all back after two kids. I'm on a journey to health and freedom from the control that food has had on my life.

Plan of Choice:

Weight Watchers, Other

A Roni Inspired Post

I read the following for the first time on Roni's Weigh last Thursday and it has been swimming in my head ever since.

"Core hurt eating tries to avoid feeling disregarded, unimportant, guilty, devalued, disrespected, rejected, powerless, inadequate, or unlovable. The connection between core hurts and high-energy, high-sensory food is irresistible. Core hurts cause pain and deplete energy; rapid eating of high sensory, high calorie food numbs pain and restores energy, for a few minutes.

Been MIA...

My three year old daughter was found to have a brain tumor on August 4. On August 6 there were able to remove the entire tumor. Unforunately, it was a very malignant cancer and requires an aggressive form of chemotherapy. Even though they can't see any more of the cancer cells it has a history of recurring when not treated. So...I have been and will be MIA for months. I am home for two days before I have to return to the hospital. She is doing well so far with her first round of chemo, but there… Continue

Hmmm...maybe I should BLOG

I haven't been here in awhile...haven't been on plan very consistently. I did see a 13lb weightloss recently, but swiftly gained back 6 lbs without trying. No...scratch that. I definitely worked hard at it - lots of eating. Anyways...I was just reading the tag line on my (and everyone's) blog page and its says "no matter the plan we all blog to lose." Hey...I haven't blogged in a long time. Maybe I should give that a whirl again. :-)

What I did to lose 13 lbs and what I think I can do again to… Continue

Now that's some serious commitment to...

smoking! I was driving home from work today in the pouring rain (I live in FL and it's been raining for like 3 days straight) and saw this woman in a poncho with a cigarette in her mouth. In the pouring rain! So I said to myself, "Now that's some serious commitment to smoking." And then I thought to myself...hmm...I guess I must be pretty committed to being fat. I will go out of my weigh for food, for soda, for my addiction. When I'm out of money I manage to find just a few more bucks for fast f… Continue

C25K Week 5 Day 3 here I come and food troubles

Tonight was technically supposed to be a run night for me. After an exhausting weekend of Easter egg hunts, church, family party and another Easter egg hunt - I decided against it. I had too much to eat and feel so tired from the crazy weekend. I just didn't think it was a good idea to try W5D3 coming off of that - which is the first time I'll be running for 20 minutes straight!! I'm so nervous about it anyway. I will definitely be running tomorrow night, though I'm not sure if I will be doing W… Continue

At 8:04pm on October 8, 2009, Paula said…: Thanks so much for the nice comment Barb. :) How is your daughter doing? I hope all is going well...

At 5:13pm on July 5, 2009, Tasha said…: Hey Barb, I tried the C25K once and I thought I was going to die. I can't do it on the sloping sidewalks. I hope I can begin when I return to NYC in the fall. How is your program coming along?

At 12:43pm on May 29, 2009, Katie said…: I've been stuck on week 4 of the C25K forever because I can't get myself to the gym consistently enough to feel comfortable moving on. It can be frustrating I know but you can do it! :)

At 11:28pm on May 24, 2009, Tasha said…: Hey Barb, how is the C25K going? I am still chicken. My temporary neighborhood has hills!

At 6:47pm on May 19, 2009, EmilyRose said…: I know how that goes Barb! I got bogged down for a few weeks with a bad case of Bronchitis! it'll be kind of rough getting back into it - but you can do it =) Just think of how nice it will be to refer to yourself as a "runner" ... that's what I keep telling myself "I am a runner"

I'm glad to hear you're getting back to full strength! Sickness seems to always come at the worse times. I should have been done with C25k like a week ago, but i'm in the middle of 6 due to all the crazyness my life as undergone!

Keep at it friend =) i'm sending you lots of love and support!

At 9:40am on May 19, 2009, EmilyRose said…: Hey barb! Just making my rounds and noticed I haven't seen you around in awhile! How has your C25k running been going?

At 12:14am on May 11, 2009, Tasha said…: You know when I first began working out a little over a month ago, I saw hardly any change in the scale. If anything, the scale went up. It was discouraging but I told myself-muscle gain, muscle holding water, TOM, sugar, salt, backed up-anything to keep spirits up. I saw a difference in my body, so I knew something was going on! Eventually, one day I got on the scale, and I was like "whoa!" The weight had just fallen off. I am sure the same will happen for you as well.

At 11:35am on May 6, 2009, Nina said…: Hello there! Enjoyed you're blog. I've done WW and am doing body for life and I'm toying with c25K and I was just convinced only sticks could pull off c25k!!! :) I was certain, yanno, that no one like me could do this. Well you've proved me wrong darn it and now I have no excuses! Thanks! ;) I'm going to try to work it in as my cardio every other day. We'll see!
