That is my mood today. I ate lots of good food last night, stayed up past my bedtime, had a couple of drinks (but only a few!). I am feeling lazy and tired today and I am just going to go with it. The kids and I are going to have a lax day, heck, […]

Today is coming out day. Time to come clean about just how much damage was inflicted upon our bodies this holiday season. I stepped on the scale and closed my eyes this morning. I am up 0.8, and you know what? I’ll take it. Granted, it may take awhile for the “damage” to catch up […]

Wow, can you believe Christmas is over already?! It’s definitely a good thing because I just don’t know how my body would be able to handle anymore cookies. Or chocolate candies. Or cracked pepper and olive oil Triscuits. Mmmm. If you haven’t guessed it already, I did not do so well diet-wise over the holiday!
I […]

And I am obese. At least, this is what the Wii Fit just told me today! It also informed me that I have gained over 21 pounds since the last time I have gotten on it which was 163 days ago. Wow. If that isn’t a reality check, I don’t know what is! Shit.

How did everyone do with the mini-challenge this week? I got wrapped up in the Christmas hustle and bustle and only got 3 workouts in. I don’t have any excuses, I COULD have found a few minutes here and there to do some crunches, I just didn’t. How did you do?
This week, as things […]

How is everyone doing with getting their half hour of activity in? I personally didn’t do a whole lot this weekend -the windchills were near 40 below (still are!) and it is bitterly cold. Yuck! I went to the gym today and will go again tomorrow, […]

Working out this morning was hard. Really hard. I didn’t want to go. Wouldn’t that be awesome of me to skip exercising on the first day of our new little challenge?? Anyway, I couldn’t let you ladies and gentleman down, so I drug my ass to the gym. I did my 30 minutes plus 11 […]

We now find ourselves right in the middle of our “Dreaming of a Light Christmas Challenge” and I hope that we don’t start losing steam. Christmas is just around the corner and we may be tempted to skimp on the exercise and indulge in the baked goodness surrounding us.
The girls and I have decided to […]

(Cue Lorrie Morgan song…) These are a few of my favorite things -health and fitness related of course! )
1. My iPod. I could not and WOULD NOT exercise without this baby. I have a 30GB that I got for Christmas a few years ago and it is not even close to being even HALF […]

Sorry that I have been missing in action lately! I have been traveling like crazy and just can’t seem to get caught up with everything. Not to mention that having four children in elementary school is keeping my head spinning. Aaugh! I have been failing miserably keeping track of who needs what on which day […]

There is one thing that has seriously been lacking in my workouts the last few months: stretching! I usually go straight from my cardio routine to strength training. I know I SHOULD be doing it and I really don’t have a reason why I haven’t been doing it other than pure laziness! So the last […]

My weight loss this week? I am down 1 pound. Since I started on this website? Down 2.2 pounds. The weight is definitely coming off slowly. I am not going to sit here and say that I have been eating great and journaling every morsel I put in my mouth, because I haven’t!
It’s so HARD!! […]
