Pin itYesterday I stepped on the scale for the weekly weigh-in. It was the first time I’d officially weigh-in in 2 weeks and I was very disappointed to see I’d gained 6.8 pounds. VERY disappointed and shocked. I knew I hadn’t lost and figured I’d gained a few over the holidays, but 6.8? Craziness. Today [...]

Pin itWhen we started this site I was 213.5# On the start of the first challenge I was 209.5# and today at the end I was only 207#. What’s missing is that I did get down to 204.5# before Christmas. See here for my numbers. It’s embarrassing to put it out there trust me, but [...]
Pin itDon’t put away your scales yet ladies (and gentlemen) because today is weigh-in day with the Sisterhood. Just a few weeks ago we all took on a challenge that had us dreaming of a light Christmas. The challenge is over now and we’re wondering, did it work for you? Are you lighter? Healthier? Do [...]
Pin itGood bye holidays! Good bye! (waves violently) I’m back on track and my head is in the game. I’m ready to go. My lunches are planned out for the week. No more baked goods in sight! Not to mention my treadmill is cleaned off and begging to be used for more than a clothes [...]
Pin itWhat’s your poison? Beer, water, wine? What do you choose when you feel like wetting your whistle? Do you ever stop and consider just how many calories are in your adult beverage? Well maybe you should. Knowing what you are eating is important and what you are drinking is just as important. While we [...]
Pin itIt’s been far too long since I’ve posted. Far.too.long. And I’m not going to beat myself up for my eating behavior over the past 2 weeks. All I’ll say is it hasn’t been cute. At.all. NOT CUTE. With that being said, I’m very excited with where I am right now. Not my weight, but [...]
Pin itI am having real problems getting to the gym, not because I don’t want to go- I actually do want to go exercise. The problem lies is the WHEN to go. Between the baby’s naps and mealtimes for all 3 kids, let alone the taxiing of said children to various places, there just seems [...]
Pin itAlthough I tried really hard for the first few weeks, I found myself getting too comfortable around the holidays. A little too comfortable. Like gaining a lot back comfortable. All my dieting plans went out the window and floated around like the little snow flurries we had. They were out there, they just didn’t [...]

Pin it Have y’all seen these books? They are written by David Zinczenko with Matt Goulding and these books are great resources to double check to see if you are truly buying a “healthier” choice. This supermarket survival guide blew my mind the first time I looked through it. It gives your photos of the [...]
Pin itI’ve been awful and I have to come clean. After Christmas I lost ALL control of eating and drinking. You see my husband and I were childless for a week. Parent vacation right? Exactly. I could not bring myself to only eat at home and not to partake in alcoholic beverages. A lot of [...]
Pin itI’ve been thinking hard about what I want out of myself for 2009. Here’s my list: 1. Embrace my 30s. (Do I have a choice?!) I do, however, have a choice about how I embrace this new decade in my life. I plan to have a good attitude about the whole aging deal and [...]
