Last year, I was over 280lbs when I decided to give the "getting fit" thing a try. I told myself it would be easier with some cute shoes, exercise pants and tops. The "cute shoes" were very easy to find & their cool orange color makes me smile with each step I take. Finding the pants & tops were another story altogether.....a horror

Stress Eating or Stress Exercising
On May 04, 2012
This has been a stressful week. My fur-baby of over 8yrs has passed and it was rough watching his illness progress over the past week or so. Last year, stress of this nature would have sent me to the fridge to eat anything & everything that I could get my hands on. However, this time I have handled it...Full Post -
Boot Camp Tuesday - After
On May 02, 2012
I LIVED through the first day of my fitness boot camp....and can still walk! As one of 17, we went through our paces on the blacktop & I must say the hour flew by. The music was a good "focus" point for doing planks & added a beat in which to squat & step to. I can say that I wasn't the most out of shape person there, nor...Full Post -
Boot Camp Tuesday - Before
On Apr 30, 2012
Well my long awaited fitness boot camp starts tomorrow evening. I'm praying for a nice breeze and not 90 degrees with high humidity! But, this is Texas...so I could be kinda disappointed. But I've got the new socks ready to go, gym bag is in the car & all the paperwork is filled out. A fitness accessment

Boot Camp Fuel
On Apr 25, 2012
It's done. I've officially registered for my celebration fitness boot camp. No exchanges. No refunds. I am going to interpret this that the pounds & inches I'll hopefully lose will not be exchanged for newer ones nor will they refund me any of the lost pounds! However....now I have to question what I will use as body...Full Post -
Boot Camp or Bust
On Apr 23, 2012
While I had visions of a new purse, pair of shoes or phone when I hit the 10lb gone mark, I have since changed my mind & will instead be enrolling in a five week fitness boot camp. I'm not sure if I'm ready, but I guess I won't know until I try it. A fellow work-out buddy was a trainer for another boot...Full Post -
What a Difference a Month Can Make
On Apr 11, 2012
Today...two days before my "official" start day of the Move It to Lose It Challenge. 48 hours before I decided to give 110% of myself to MYSELF. Dos calendar days prior to putting down the sodas, chips & cookies and making a vow to replace them with water, fruit & yogurt. Am I disappointed? Less...Full Post -
Happy Feet!
On Apr 09, 2012
Never, ever underestimate the power of a new pair of cushy socks! I was out shopping lately & instead of going for a new piece of jewelry or fashionable T-shirt, I got socks instead. Not the kind with cute flowers or smiley faces, but the kind with a bit more cush in the spots that count. My daughter

I Hear Food Voices in My Head......
On Mar 28, 2012
and they know my name! Really, it is quite frightening as I never know when they will start talking or what they will say. Sometimes they are good voices.."OH, don't those grapes look good" or even "Hey, look summer squash is on sale & would be great steamed." I have even caught myself answering these voices outloud,...Full Post -
Free Weekly Zumba Classes
On Mar 28, 2012
So my HOA has decided to start offering weekly Zumba classes for free. This is GREAT...and at least I now feel like part of my HOA dues are going to something that will make a good improvement in our neighborhood (like my hips!). I wasn't sure how much one would get out of a free class, but it was surprisingly...Full Post
