Latest Activity
So I gained a pound this week. I'm sure it was payback for the 5 lb loss and my non-journaling last week . I did journal this week, but my workouts weren't as good due to DD being sick. She also has been stressing me out quite a bit lately. Holy Cow…
Dh and I are getting ready to leave for our date! YEAH!!! Gambling and dinner, possibly some shopping. I'm so excited. It will be our first time going out this year. We both really need this. I was worried it wasn't going to happen as DD has been si…
at the gym at least. DD woke up this morning running a 102 temp. She's coughing a bit, and has a runny nose, so I wasn't able to hit the gym. I did do level one of the 30 day Shred....I think thats enough. GAWD! When Jillian says she's gonna kick yo…

- About Me:
- As you can see by my "About Me" info, I started my weightloss journey a year ago today. I did pretty decent until life threw me a HUGE curve ball that knocked me on my behind. I tried desperately to hold on, but I wasn't able to. Today I start back on my journey with the hope that I can make it this time.
I Will Be A Loser
In May 2008, I turned the big 4-0. I am not depressed over leaving my 30's, but I was depressed over the fact that I had let my weight get out of control. Everything in my life is just as I had dreamed...I have a wonderful, loving husband, an amazing little girl, and my dream home. My only complaint is that I have let myself go, and had forgotten how to make time for me.
I have battled with my weight since I was a very young child. I remember praying to God to do whatever he had to do to make me skinny. Well, that happened. In 1999, I went from 265 lbs to 120 lbs in just under 3 months, and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Ok, so it wasn't the best way to lose weight, but I revelled in being small for the first time in my life! Ten surgeries later, I found myself in remission, pregnant, and gaining heap-loads of weight. After our daughter was born, I lost some of the weight, but sure enough, it started creeping back on. I was having a hard time adjusting to my new roles, and food was my comfort. I was out of control!!!
On May 28, 2008, I made the conscious decision to become a better wife, mom, and ME by taking control of my health and joining Weight Watchers. This is my journey to becoming a loser.
- Plan of Choice:

Week 3 Weigh In
So I gained a pound this week. I'm sure it was payback for the 5 lb loss and my non-journaling last week . I did journal this week, but my workouts weren't as good due to DD being sick. She also has been stressing me out quite a bit lately. Holy Cow that kid can test my nerves. Terrible Twos I know, but WOW! I would love my sweet little girl back anytime now. It's either that, or I'm going to have to take out stock in anti-anxiety medication!!! Lord Help Me!!!

Sweet Saturday
Dh and I are getting ready to leave for our date! YEAH!!! Gambling and dinner, possibly some shopping. I'm so excited. It will be our first time going out this year. We both really need this. I was worried it wasn't going to happen as DD has been sick with a cold for the past few days.
That also meant no gym activity for the past few days. I tried to workout at home, but that is near impossible with a 2-1/2 yr old under feet. Plus she has been particularly stinky and into EVERYTHING. My stress… Continue

No workout today
at the gym at least. DD woke up this morning running a 102 temp. She's coughing a bit, and has a runny nose, so I wasn't able to hit the gym. I did do level one of the 30 day Shred....I think thats enough. GAWD! When Jillian says she's gonna kick your butt, she does. I also added a bit of weight training with my hand weights, but I didn't do much in that department.
It's a rainy, gloomy day today, and I don't have the gumption to do much of anything. Once I finish my post for the day I will ven… Continue

Week 2 Weigh In
And I managed to drop 5 lbs!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! I have to admit that I was concerned because I did not journal at all last week, but tried to keep a mental tally going in my head. This week I will be deligent on the journaling and see what happens.
Today I stayed away from the strength training. My back and knees are still a bit tender, so I thought it best. Instead I did an hour of cardio, split between the elliptical, bike and treadmill. I managed to keep my heart rate in the 150's so I could mak… Continue

Last chance workout
Whew! What a great workout. I'm sweaty, sore, and tired. It was a slow day at the gym, so I was able to jam pack my workout, which I'm very happy about.
90 min cardio - 30 min bike, 30 min elliptical, 30 min treadmill
45 min strength training
Tomorrow I'm going to lay off the weights and just do cardio. My knees and back are starting to ache which isn't good. I have bad knees and back, and the last thing I need to do is injure them any further. I'll lube up with Bio-Freeze after my shower and… Continue
