Day 2: Happy New Year! Also, Get Lost Fat!

By -
So it's the new year, and I am ready for a fresh start. Last year I totally hit the f(*& it button and just put my head down and worked. Since my kids got ejected from the gym I've been a little hamstrung as far as working out goes.  But I've decided 2018 will not be held hostage by my weight! I'm so over being fat. I know we're supposed to accept our bodies and all that garbage, but seriously, being fat is just plain uncomfortable. My doctor wrote me a prescription for Phentermine and I decided, before I go that route, I should just suck it up and eat right. So here I am;  the only way I have ever been successful is to blog about what I'm doing.  No excuses, only action and honesty.  If I'm not being honest with myself, I won't drop an ounce. The reality is that I need to stop eating so much and stop this vicious snacking cycle I've gotten myself into. I'm going to post what I eat each day and update my ticker so I can watch my weight drop. That's one of the best motivators I've ever used! Bring it on 2018, I'm ready for change and my will is strong!! Grrrrr! (Picture a New Zealand Haka)!!



After dinner, I'll update this post to include what I ate today.

So close to 13 lbs lost I can taste it!  I have a deal with Jason that every 20 lbs he has to take me to dinner at my very favorite place on the planet to eat, Spencer's.  I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so motivated right now.  All I want to do is peel away this weight as fast as I can.  I know I have to take it a bit slow or it will all just come back but the war is on and I am sooooo determined! I'm loving seeing your guy's progress.  It's so exciting to me!   Today's Breakdown: Budget 1,516 Food 971 Exercise -599 Net 372 Under 1,144 Breakfast: 268 Breakfast Sandwich, Sausage, Egg & Cheese Flatbread 1 Each 240 Orange Juice, No Pulp 1/4 Serving 28 Lunch: 309 Sour Cream, Light 1 Teaspoon 7 Ham, 97% Fat Free, Cajun Style 1 Ounce 29 WW Chicken Feta & Tomatoes 1 Serving 163 ...

Cindy and February

By -
So....February came and went. I turned 45, Eliza turned 17, Valentines came and went, I went to New York for work and I kept training for my 10k.(We are now running about 30 minutes at a time averaging 3.5 miles total per run, 3 x a week.) I am not quite the exercise animal Shelly is but I too find that if I work out I am more hungry. My goal was 20 lbs I only made a little over 16. February was hard....too many temptations. However, I did learn that you can drink a ton of water while traveling and you can use the hotel's exercise room all night. I am feeling recharged and ready to knock March out of the water!!! Until then......Spring has Sprung.

Shelley: Day 4 - Eat the Insides!

So, another day of what my family calls "nuke" and vomit.  We call it nuke thanks to my oh so wise brother-in-law.  When he was little he used to make up words.  One day he came out of the bathroom and said, "I nuked."  Everyone asked what he meant and he said, "I nuked, makes you have a sick bum.".  Since then, we've all referred to this particular malady as nuke.  So there was lots of nuking at our house today.  I'm seriously going to have to invest in Lysol with the rate at which I am using their products. I finally dragged all of my children to the gym thinking the worst was behind us (no pun intended) and W had diarrhea and we had to throw his clothes away.  I managed to run about 3.5 miles before getting called away but such is life with three very little kids.  As I have no time for anything, I bought chicken and squash (yellow and zuchinni) to grill for dinner tonight.  It's one of the simpliest and fastest healthy dinne...
