I have fallen behind on my blogging, and honestly, it is because there isn't really anything new to talk about. Book, Body, that's about it. The occasional photography perhaps. But I have some more mindless chat if you care to read!

So, as of today I am about 25 lbs away from "ultimate goal". And this week something slowly dawned on me: Even though ( Read more... )

On Body for Life, one day a week is a free day. No exercise, and you can eat whatever you want. Most people on the program find that over time they don't even want to take the free day and continue to eat well. But occasionally you can indulge and it is perfectly fine.

Normally this day is Sunday, but this week I decided to make it Saturday. And it ( Read more... )

Dropping into another lower set of digits overnight, making me two pounds away from having lost 50 pounds.

Being able to run faster than a jog for more than 15 minutes.

Being able to see my quad muscles start to get really defined.

Brushing my teeth this morning and noticing my shoulder delt line against my bicep.

Really noticing a difference in ( Read more... )

So, I am back!

I am completely on fire again. I can't explain the turn around other than I re-grouped, had a few days out of town with my amazingly inspirational aunt, and also my meds have definitely kicked back in, which is always a good thing!

I have about a week's worth of workouts to make-up if you add up all the misses over the past few... so I ( Read more... )

Just a brief update to mention something significant I realized today. Yes I have been struggling, and yes I always knew it would be hard to do this... but I just realized today that I have been making it worse for myself. during this re-arranging of my bedroom, I misplaced my medicine and have only been taking it very sporadically over the past ( Read more... )

I am on the verge of giving up. I am tired. I am not happy with where I am at, not NEARLY as healthy as I dream of being... but I have been losing weight steadily for over 5 months now... and I am 45 lbs. down, which is great. This is what always happens to me around this weight... and I do think I will push through it, but man I am wondering how I ( Read more... )

This week left me broken. I struggled so much and failed on so many levels it wasn't funny. I find it interesting that I am still losing, still on the downward track, which is a miracle, considering.

All the things I have been complaining of struggling with these past few weeks- food choices, tiredness in the morning, etc.- were exacerbated this ( Read more... )

Sorry for the late post. I was busy this weekend, and today I started jury duty (don't worry, I'll be blogging all about it when I'm finished!), so my time has been occupied recently ( Read more... )

Time to have my weekly check-in for the fitness challenge. Week two was awful. I won't lie. It was like all of my struggles, all of my demons, came calling this week. The novelty of the program wore off; don't get me wrong, I still love it, still think it's great, but that initial surge of excited energy was long gone this week ( Read more... )

So, week one is finally over. And I have to say, I am in love with this program. It is so easy to do, yet really challenging at the same time ( Read more... )
