Last week (2/8/11): 162.5 This week (2/14/11): 162.5 Change: NONE (-3 lbs total) So last week I had a gain of 0.5 lbs and frankly I didn’t feel like talking about. I have, and have always had an issue with obedience. I only was a “good” girl as a kid because I happened to want […] Read more…
Book Review: The Real Skinny on Losing It / #Mamavation Monday #6
Let’s not go into how badly I tanked this week. Let’s let the scale speak for me: Last week (1/31/11): 162 This week (2/8/11): 162.5 Change: +0.5 lb (-3 lbs total) Well, that’s actually not as bad as I feared. Regardless, I’ll discuss the failures next week. I just am not in the mood right […] Read more…
Book Review: Made to Crave / Mamavation Monday #5
Always something! I slipped up a few times & blatantly overate early in the week. My daughter’s birthday party was yesterday with her actual birthday today, which didn’t help. I did get to exercise FINALLY on Friday. We were getting ready for a realtor tour of our home earlier in the week. Prayers that we […] Read more…
Mamavation Monday #4
This week was another bang up week for me. I fell off the wagon HARD on Wednesday. Not only did I eat more junk than usual, but it was at the end of three weeks of more processed food than usual. I felt terrible! And I cheated on Friday, too. I also didn’t exercise at […] Read more…
Mamavation Monday #3
Original Weight (1/5/11): 165.5 lbs. Sunday AM Weigh-in (1/16/11) : 165 lbs Change: -0.5 lbs Well, I’ve learned a something in the last 10 days since my first official weigh-in. First is that even though I only eat garbage on weekends, I ate a LOT of garbage that first weekend. And I had a baptism […] Read more…
Mamavation Monday #2
So yeah, I was completely sidetracked last weekend getting ready for a showing of our house. In the process of dumping & hiding, I misplaced my measuring tape. I have since found it, but I still haven’t made Bones take a picture of my starting place. Without further ado, my start looks something like this: […] Read more…
Mamavation Monday #1
This is my inaugural Mamavation Monday post. I’ve been meaning to get my poop in a group as they say but the holiday’s screwed me all up. Because I’m nursing and just had a baby less than 3 months ago, I’m not really going to focus on numbers on the scale but on making healthy […] Read more…
Gave up First Place…
I quit doing First Place. It was a great idea, if anyone bothered to do what they promised. One of the things you promise to do is encourage someone weekly. I was pretty good sending encouragement to EVERYONE for the first 4 weeks and the only encouragement I ever got from others was 1 in […] Read more…
Progress…
Well, I’m about 6 weeks into, as I have lovingly referred to it, religious fat camp. And, surprise, surprise — I’ve fallen off of the wagon. I did very well with eating until Christmas and then lost it between Christmas & New Years. Then 1/2, I started working with my personal trainer — interesting […] Read more…
Personal training & the creeping crud
I had my first session with my personal trainer Tuesday (1/2). I knew that a personal trainer would push me farther than I would ever push myself. I also knew that I would hurt and I was right–I couldn’t really move until Friday. On the plus side, I can now see my biceps and shoulders […] Read more…
