So the results are in. Did I make my goal in time for my birthday? Drumroll please..... Unfortunately,...no. I am 0.8 away from this goal. That's ok though. I am completely happy where I am at right now and within 1-2 weeks I should be at my goal. It is so nice hearing all of the compliments of how much weight I have lost. I guess I didn't realize how heavy I really was. I went shopping … [Read more...]
Weigh Me Wednesday
This past week was a good one (remember that I post about my previous week's accomplishments, so this is before the holidays). I lost 2 pounds and only have 2 to go to my ultimate goal. I had to go shopping for an outfit for my birthday (per my husband's instructions) and was so happy when I saw size 5. Oh yeah, I said it. I haven't been a 5 since beginning of college which was 11 years ago … [Read more...]
Weigh Me Wednesday: Goal Reached, but I Can’t Stop There!
Can I get a yeehaw?! I have hit my goal, BUT I can't stop there. I want to lose 5 more lbs. on top of that. Since I hit and beat my goal, I don't have that far to go though. Yippee! I can do 4.2 lbs. for sure. On another note, the baby is weaning for me, which means I know that this can be the time when weight starts to come back on. So, I will have to work even harder. I can do it. My … [Read more...]
Weigh Me Wednesday: It’s Thanksgiving Time!

I am a sucker for my grandmother's noodles, dressing, mashed potatoes- gosh, you name it! I have to trust that it's ok to splurge every now and then. One day will not kill me. What are some low-fat recipes that you can enjoy … [Read more...]
Weigh Me Wednesday
I broke even this week. Is that the correct way to say this? ;) That means, I didn't lose, but I also didn't gain. We have been so busy lately that we are eating out a lot more. With my husband heading out for many months, I think it's his goal to eat as much American food as possible haha. I humor this since it is his last chance. I need to start choosing the chicken more right? My … [Read more...]
Weigh Me Wednesday
This weight is SLOWLY coming off now. I guess I need to go back to really trying to lose the weight. I know I can do it- I just need to. I am a little less than 4.5 lbs. left from my goal. This should be a piece of cake and take me a max of 4 weeks, but we shall see. I just really need to put my mind to it. I am so weak. I am thinking about my daughter's birthday cake we're having this … [Read more...]
