Success! I went to the doctor and she was very pleased with my weight loss over the past 3 weeks (8 lbs). On the previous visit, she was concerned both about my blood pressure and the fact that the labs showed that I was insulin-resistant (on t... Read more
Day 2 of the 28 Day Bootcamp Challenge
Sunday, December 12, 2010      3 comments

I've completed my activities for day two of the bootcamp challenge. And I must admit that it was very hard getting started today. I had a boatload of excuses for the 3-4 inches of snow outside to "I'm trying to watch Sherlock Holmes". But my ... Read more

Saturday, December 11, 2010      8 comments

Wow! I am really out of shape! I went to the gym after work and did 25 minutes on the treadmill. I jogged for 5 of the 25 minutes (a big accomplishment for me because I usually don't push myself). Came home and got some sleep and then did... Read more

I am a woman that is capable of wonderful things. I have been to hell and back and I am still standing. My knees buckled at times but I did not fall. Some have tried to trip me but I regained my balance. I have avoided pitfalls and I am sti... Read more

OMG!! The zipper on my jeans is not broken, it was just under pressure!
Thursday, December 02, 2010      3 comments

On this journey to be healthier, I am learning to celebrate the small milestones. I have a pair of size 18 jeans that fit me very uncomfortably and the zipper would always unzip. (But I like them and I refuse to go to a size 20) I thought it w... Read more

I ventured out to Subway and ordered the Oven roasted Chicken breast sub, no cheese, no dressing (they didn't have fat free, so I wait until I got home), full of veggies but unfortunately no black olives for me today. Anywhoo...I am getti... Read more

I ATE THE DARN GIANT COOKIE
Tuesday, November 30, 2010      5 comments

I ate the giant cookie from Panera. 13 points on WW. I am not going to beat up on myself. I was stressed (Dad's in the hospital) and tired. Too weak to resist it. Will just have to make better choices for the rest of the day. O point fruits... Read more
Why can't I haul my butt into gear?!?!
Saturday, November 27, 2010      3 comments

Ok, I've been walking occasionally but I have not gotten back into the routine of exercising "hard core" as I did at the beginning of the year. Working out was second nature to me then....It was automatic, I didn't even think about it. I was j... Read more

Thursday, November 25, 2010      6 comments

This week in WW for me was about paying attention to my body signals. I am really trying to be aware of what my body is telling me. I check myself often during the day and see if I am full, hungry or ok for now. I am trying to stay away from ... Read more

Why do I allow him to continue hurting me.....
Tuesday, November 23, 2010      13 comments

I left my husband July 15, 2009 and he still is emotionally/verbally abusive to me. I depend on him to take our daughter to school in the morning and he is using that as a crutch for me. I just want him out of my life. He makes me feel horribl... Read more
