- About Me:
- I teach junior high math and LOVE IT! I have three grown kids and an amazing husband of 26 years.
Five years ago I lost 37 lbs. on WW and became a lifetime member, but since then I went back to school to earn a master's degree and all my energies went into my studies and consuming extra calories to fuel my brain.
Now, I'm working on getting myself in back in shape so I feel comfortable and have more energy. My highest weight: 167 lbs., Goal Weight: 130 lbs.
I love chocolate and just about anything Starbucks...my biggest vices! I seek God regularly because I want to use the gifts I have been blessed with to their fullest.
- Plan of Choice:
- Weight Watchers
- Workout Philosophy:
- I'm a Running Fanatic

Three Months Later...
10/11/08 - I attended a technology in education conference and experienced a really weird pain attack during on of my workshops. I was one of about six people in a dark computer lab, so I decided to ride out the pain because I didn't think I could walk the distance back to my car. After 20 minutes of writhing in my seat with cold sweats, shallow breathing, and won… Continue

I'm a Mess
Here is a rundown of my past two weeks:
1. Ending on a high note - within reach of my goal at my last weigh-in - TOM intrudes and messes things up. I was certain I wouldn't have a great weigh in last Tuesday, but was willing to take my "losses" (or gains...or lack of weight loss) and hope for a better week. Then came last MONDAY. As I was running before dawn last Monday morning, I tripped on a… Continue

And with my mood going up my weight has been consistently going back down this week. I'm hoping by Friday it will be back down the entire 2.8 I gained.
Wednesdays is the hardest day for me WW wise anyway. We have a meal catered by a pharmaceutical company each Wednesday. I did decide to keep doing flex, because my eating times vary so much. Some of the places we get food from I can deal with because it's in the WW book, but today we are getting food from a local steakhouse (umm...yeah...the vegetarian always causes trouble :~P ) and they don't have nutrition info. :o( . So not cool.
When you get discouraged.. just stop for a minute and think... you'll hear the sound of my casted footprints behind you and feel my hand nudging you forward just a little, saying "come on do it for your broken legged friend!" In no time at all you'll be 130 pounds and running 3.1 miles in one stretch! You'll feel so accomplished and look how far you've come!
Hubbie is getting old and tired. They are hitting him HARD with PT. He's running mile after mile after mile and making C25K look like a cakewalk. Recitations are getting a little bit harder and tests a little more challenging. Plus once he became a squad leader he now has the added chore of keeping all the screw ups in line too! (but if I may brag he is tied for the #1 spot in the class.. so NOT my husband!) How is your guy doing? Don't let those recitations get him down!
