::Drum-roll please:: I am officially down 3.5 pounds for the week! Yay! I did cheat a bit - but my mindset is much more positive now - so if I have a glass of wine or split a brownie with a girlfriend, I am not letting it derail my whole diet. Anywh…

Sexy Parrothead commented on Melissa's blog post 'Keeping on track'
Do you know anyone that is doing or is wanting to do WW? I find it is easier with a group. Our group is getting together on Monday nights and doing our own WW. Nobody is actually going to real meetings. I hope you can find a way to keep on it alone,…

Haha - I know the feeling, I too, work in a real estate office. We have cookies and do you know what? Part of my job description is to bake them EVERY DAY! The smell of fresh cookies is supposed to make people think of home. It certainly makes conce…

But in a good way - I'm on a roll! I feel like I'm starting to get some momentum with my diet. After several small failures, I have decided that since South Beach has worked for me before, I want to go back to it. The instant gratification will help…

Melissa commented on Rose McIntyre's blog post 'Looking for Support'
I know exactly how you feel - I still haven't figured out how to get a good workout in with 3 small kids! My goal right now is to really focus on my diet and do like Mrs. Ballou suggested - some movement is better than none at all. Even going to the…

So this week was uneventful - in that it was very stressful (which is normal for me) and I'm finding that I am having an incredibly hard time keeping on my points. Since I don't go to meetings (can't afford them), I feel kind of...out there on my ow…

I'm in class right now and sooo bored. Problem with summer school is that all of the restaurants on campus are closed. So, I've got a 30 minute break between 12 pm and 9 pm and only vending machines to pick from. Any healthy ideas besides trail mix?…

One of my saving graces is the fact that these are yucky store bought cookies and not home made ones. That's what I keep telling myself. :p You are one strong chick! :)

I hope you had a great unstressful weekend, and a Great Mothers Day!

So how did your WW WI go? Was it close to what your Wii said? Just watched the slideshow of your kids. They are adorable!

I just read your bio. You have three kids, work full-time and go to school full-time? You must be a saint!

Profile Information

About Me:
I am a new mommy of 3. In high school, I was soooo active - I danced, played soccer, and ran track. Once I got out of high school, I still played sports, but school was so all-encompassing that I gradually fell out of it, and the drinking really added some pounds. Add to this that I got married and you have an extra 15 lbs. Soon after I got married, I found out that I was pregnant with my son. I gained 40 lbs, and only managed to take off 20 before I got pregnant with my daughter. I took off all 20 lbs. that I gained with her, but wanted to finish having babies before I put in any real effort. So, this past February, my LAST baby was born! (Another girl!) On top of that, I am in school full time, working full time, and exhausted. I'm also sick of what I see in the mirror. I have about 40 lbs. to lose to get to a weight I would be happy with maintaining. I am optimistic, but I know I have a long road ahead of me...
Plan of Choice:
Weight Watchers
Workout Philosophy:
I only exercise because I have to

This Week's Weigh-In

::Drum-roll please:: I am officially down 3.5 pounds for the week! Yay! I did cheat a bit - but my mindset is much more positive now - so if I have a glass of wine or split a brownie with a girlfriend, I am not letting it derail my whole diet. Anywho, just thought I'd share, so now it's back to work!

I'm like butter

But in a good way - I'm on a roll! I feel like I'm starting to get some momentum with my diet. After several small failures, I have decided that since South Beach has worked for me before, I want to go back to it. The instant gratification will help me stay on track long term, at which point I may switch back to WW. I had no willpower on the points system - because I couldn't do the whole 'in moderation' thing. My doctor ok'd the low carb thing while I'm nursing and I'm optimistic - I will let y… Continue

Keeping on track

So this week was uneventful - in that it was very stressful (which is normal for me) and I'm finding that I am having an incredibly hard time keeping on my points. Since I don't go to meetings (can't afford them), I feel kind of...out there on my own. I found out that one of my co-workers was a WW mentor-person a while back, so she gave me a bunch of her old material, which I think will help. I just feel like I can eat healthy all day and if I have one little setback I get so upset with myself t… Continue

Ways to stave off hunger AND total boredom?

...and the hits just keep on comin'

Ok, so I am trying to stick with everything, but even after just two days, it's soooo difficult with all of the stress I've got going on right now. I need to find a way to pay my tuition for the summer (because apparently financial aid doesn't apply for summer courses even though they are required for my major), and I just found out that it's likely I'll lose my house within the next two months. We've been trying to get our mortgage modified because we bought in 06 at the peak and my husband los… Continue
