Normally if I have a lot to keep me busy, I don’t snack. Today? holy cow. I should be doing laundry, grocery shopping and a few other things but I have no energy. None, therefore I’m not doing a thing. So I’m sitting and all I want to do is eat, munch and nibble. Thankfully […]
Okay y’all, my name is Christy, and I’m a snack-a-holic. Seriously. That’s my major downfall when it comes to dieting. When I went this route a few years back, the 100 calorie snack craze wasn’t in full swing, so my options were seriously limited. Well, they weren’t really limited, but it was a serious pain […]
I have been eyeing this machine at the gym all month long! Our gym just added two of them when they finished their remodel at the end of October. It looks odd and awkward, sort of like a cross between an elliptical machine and a stair stepper. It’s called the Precor AMT (adaptive motion trainer). […]
It’s one of those days. A day where by 10 o’clock in the morning I’ve had to repeat “stay strong girl, stay strong” to myself about 5,550 times. Really, that much… Mood wise I’m doing great but I have this uncontrollable urge to go to the vending machine and eat every hostess cake there is, […]
The total body balance ball kit by Gaiam Not only does this balance ball look fun to use, but after you get the hang of it, it is! A perfect way to add variety to your at home exercise routine! Sure we can keep getting on the floor for endless hours of boring abdominal crunches […]
Today was a busy day. My daughter had her 1 year checkup at the doctor. It’s crazy how I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life and she’s a tiny little thing weighing in at 16 pounds 4 ounces. She’s 1, folks. The other crazy thing is that she weighed the exact same thing […]
Oh my goodness! It’s been a crazy week for me. Between working and kids and counting points, I’ve been one busy mama. I will say that, so far, it’s been a good week. I feel great about my weight loss journey so far. I’ve fallen back into Weight Watchers online easily and it is like riding […]
Since eating at work is one of my biggest down falls I have started to plan and pack my lunch as well as snacks. Sure deep down inside I want to run out to Jimmy Johns (or Quiznos) and eat the best sandwiches and chips ever, but I can’t fight off temptations yet. That’s just me. I […]

Tonight was the night. The night where I finally pried my(not so small) butt off the couch and kept my date with Jane Fonda. She and I had some serious work to be done;work that I have been putting off for about 10 months. What work? Just the flabby belly and thunder thighs that need […]
.!. We have a sneaking suspicion that there are many of you that WANT to join the challenge, that NEED to join the challenge but there is something stopping you. Which is okay, not everyone is going to be jumping up and down excited about losing weight. It could be what you want most in […]
Well, well, well. If it isn’t DAY ONE of the challenge and I’ve got a bad case of the pre-menstrual munchies. Figures, doesn’t it? But that’s okay. I like a good challenge. I can handle it. (Which is a total lie.) I just want to eat ALL DAMN DAY. I was great during the day […]
So I added a What’s Christy Eating tab to the top of my section of the blog. Go here to check it out! I’ll try to list everything I eat, everyday, with points values! So I had to tell you about my dinner. I was so excited that I could eat so much for so […]
Day one of our “dreaming of a light Christmas” challenge and I am ready. My goals are in place and my skinny jeans are waiting for me. I can hear them rooting for me already. (they are tired of being way back in the closet!) So if you check tout my numbers page here, you […]
I stepped on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised with the number that stared back at me. 155.2! I did not gain a single ounce over the holidays. Can I just tell you that’s NEVER happened. Except maybe when I was 7, or something like that. One-fifty-five-point-two. Goodbye forever. My personal goal this […]
