  • Life in the Fast Lane

    This month is going by wayyy too fast!! Living life in the fast lane. How many things, opportunities, people, are you letting pass you by as you creep along or how many of those aforementioned are you passing by in your rush to get to where you think you want to be or should be? I have to remind...Full Post
  • Just Don't Quit!!

    So today is the final weigh-in for the Dr. Oz competition.... While I may not have lost all that I wanted to lose in the time frame specified, I did find out a few things about living a healthier lifestyle. It took nearly two months for me to find out what I suspected for years, that I have digestive...Full Post
  • Work

    So I've been kinda busy and have not had a lot of time to post much of anything. That's what happens when you have a project that goes up to DC for review, a lot of running around, back and forth, up and down! Needless to say I was quite surprised when I was told that I'd actually lost weight! No,...Full Post
  • Journey

    When you are tempted to give up, don't compare yourself to anyone else or their successes. It may take you longer than anyone else, you may have to push yourself harder than everyone else. Just remember that your journey is your own and starts with one step. No one will step quite like you, so start...Full Post
  • Motivation...

    I'm needing it because it is in short supply... I thought I'd be way down by spring, and here we are nearly a month from it and it's slowwww going! I was almost tempted to sit down with a pint of B&J and sulk it out, instead I got the brick pavers out of the back of my car and started drawing out...Full Post
  • Leaping Forward

    So here it is Leap Day, last day of February and I'm just down right frustrated! On one hand, I'm doing EVERYTHING right, eating good, exercising, taking vitamins, tracking food (and even when I'm not tracking steering clear of snacking), drinking plenty of water, and what happens?! I gain weight,...Full Post
  • Soldier in Battle of the bulge

    Lately I've been feeling like a soldier on a mission. Battling cravings, exercising, dealing with side effects of medicine that I'm trying desperately to get off of, balancing work and family life, and finding time to just relax, relate and release. Sometimes you can get so far in the weeds that...Full Post
  • 2 more pounds lost!!

    I meant to post this the other day, but I'm happy to say that it's two more pounds gone! I know it's small potatoes compared to some, but for me and my body, it's a good thing, even if it is slow... I believe that if I keep at it, more will come, it'll just take time. But I SO wish I could dedicate...Full Post
  • Vitamin Incorporation

    So I've started taking a multivitamin supplement, and more specifically iron pills as well, and my body is really stuggling to get used to the changes. If there were "less harsh" vitamins, like a "lite" version for those starting to add them to our regular diet, it would be great! SIGH!! Here's to...Full Post
  • Still chugging along

    So it's just me and my eliptical, staring eye to eye and I'm trying to find every excuse not to get on it (cramps, bloating, fatigue) but I'm gonna do it, even if it's at a slower pace... Sucks being a woman sometimes!! SMH!
