Hang in there! My hubbie is gifting me early for Christmas--new running gear for the winter weather! YAY! You should just gift it to yourself early! It's worth the investment!
This time of year IS hard. Get going now so that Chrismas wont be as hard. I figure if I can stay on track now until then..I can treat myself a few days at Christams and it wont hurt. Now get to that gym woman! You know youll feel great afterwards:)
My weight has crept up yet again. I'm ready to take full action and turn this around! I'm not wanting to have to repeat this whole entire process. This is such a hard time of year, which is why I need to get going in the right direction! I'm sitti...
Don't be so hard on yourself Erica! The fact is you HAVE goals. You're working on them. You didn't completely throw them out the window and say "to heck with it"! You maintained! To me...that's almost as good as a loss lately! I recommitted today ...
My weight stayed the same this week as I guess it should have. I began the week off all pumped up & ready to conquer the world. But as the days unfolded I didn't do as much as I could have.
These were my goals
1. Take vitamins twice a day, (I'm t...
OMG, I love this!

- About Me:
- I'm a clean eating point counter!!! I'm also a wife & mother! This weight flux that I've been dealing with for the last 11 years is not healthy & I'm ready to find a good healthy weight for me that can stick! I'm addicted to the classes at my gym & go 5-6 days a week! My current goal is 125. I have done WW on & off for the last 11 years & I've done it for the better part of the last year. I'm new to clean eating & loving it! I'm incorporating more weights into my routine & I'm also running thanks to C25K!!! I reached my first goal of 135 & decided I'd shot for 125 as my next goal!

Ok it's time to blog!!!
My weight has crept up yet again. I'm ready to take full action and turn this around! I'm not wanting to have to repeat this whole entire process. This is such a hard time of year, which is why I need to get going in the right direction! I'm sitting here doing Cyber Monday shopping & I'm looking at nike+ and an ipod to help motivate me. I should be at the gym right now I promised myself that I'd do go today!!! Why I'm having such a hard time getting there is beyond me! I'll keep you posted a… Continue

Not sure
My weight stayed the same this week as I guess it should have. I began the week off all pumped up & ready to conquer the world. But as the days unfolded I didn't do as much as I could have.
These were my goals
1. Take vitamins twice a day, (I'm taking them in the am only right now.) I managed taking twice a doay only a few times
2. Journal food I did this most of the time but was not consistent with it
3. Committing to take my food to work with me. I did not take my food wi… Continue

Saving money with coupons, CVS-ing & Swagbucks
I recently learned how to coupon & I'm still learning as I go. I started CVS-ing learned mostly from here and here I'm all stocked up on soap, toothpaste, toilet paper & toothbrushes for a while! There is a similar thing at Walgreen's but I have not branched out that far yet. I'm also using more coupons a… Continue

Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
Since Maren asked for this recipe, I figured I'd just post it to share with everyone : )
I halve & remove seeds from 2 good sized butternut squashes, & roast them in the oven cut side down in a little water until a fork pierces the soft flesh.
2. Then I saute either leeks or onions in coconut oil or olive oil till soft (about 10 minutes) (I do this in my big soup pot) I add about 4 crush garlic cloves and my curry powder toasting that in the oil really brings out the flavor. I use a goo… Continue

Wow...
I can't believe how the support from all of you has really motivated me. I thank you for all visiting me & commenting on my last post it is so incredibly helpful to me & I truly appreciate it! Why do I run from here when I need your support the most? So a** backwards! Anyway I lost 2 lbs & I didn't do much. I added extra water, started eating oats and eggs (mostly whites) for breakfast, either a salad or other veggie based lunch & a pretty typical dinner. I thought maybe a half p… Continue

- Erica, thank you so much for the tips on how to try to keep from overindulging at parties! I like to indulge in life...food included, but I know that I must keep my goals in mind while trying to live it up at the same time! Thank-you for the very useful tips. You are gorgeous by the way:)

Thank you so much for the comments on my blog and page. I'm sorry it's been so long since i've been around! Just posted a NEW blog =) I'm excited to catch up on your posts and get back into the swing of BTL!

Sexy Parrothead said… - Thanks for the gift and the note. I know how you feel, I am not doing too well with my eating and I seem to stay in the same place. I am hoping that if I continue to post and read others posts that someday it will all come back to me! I seem to go in spurts with my eating and can't seem to stay excited about eating well for a long period of time. I hope I can grow out of this short attention span! Have a great one, and can't wait to see you come back!

- Hey Erica!
I'm glad to hear from you =) I too have been on a bit of a non-blogging slump. Back today! Just posted a update and new progress pictures. Hope to see a blog from you soon - i know the start of the school year is always crazy!
Lots of love

- I'm so glad that my checking in gave you a little jump start, Erica! I can't tell you how many times you and the others have done the same for me. That's what I love most about this site - the accountability! I'm so so proud of you that you were able to take a step back and look at the bigger (or in your case SMALLER!) picture and see what you really want. I struggle with that a lot, but by knowing that I'm not the only one makes it a lot more manageable.
How's was your week? Did you make it to Zumba on Wednesday? I don't have the budget right now ... stupid moving expenses ... for a gym membership - but I will most definitely be getting one that offers that class when I can! I just started the 30DS yesterday. WOW, i am sore. haha

How did the WI go this week? I hope everything is going well for you. I feel like August is going to be a good month for us to get back into a good blogging habit! =)

- Thanks for checking in Erica!
I have to say, I'm super embarassed that I gained 2lbs ... uuuuugh. The whole vacation thing was good for my mind, horrible for my body. I'm expecting next WI to be more of the same .. this moving thing is really putting a cramp in my work out/eating style.
I'm glad you didn't see a gain on your scale - CONGRATS! =)
