Thanks so much for indulging me yesterday and today with your thoughtful opinions! I've made a last minute decision to go to a figure drawing class this afternoon and I won't be home at 4 (est) to announce the winners. Instead, I will keep the comments open for the drawing until 4pm and announce the winners this evening when I get home! Good luck, I've really enjoyed reading these!

I'm still floundering a bit with my blogging schedule.I want this blog to be more about me, I want to actually provide interesting information, motivation, support and ideas about weight loss and healthy living. We are all in this together, and chances are if you're stopping by you're looking for something and I want to provide it.Over the past two years you've watched me lose weight, gain weight

Is it monday already? Please ignore strange ads on my blog, I'm on my way to wordpress and things might look a little weird and mixed up around here until I get there.Anyhow, I've been wanting to talk more about the "hows" of weight loss. I've created a series of questions pinpointing why I didn't lose a lot of weight in 2008. What were those same habits that crept in continuing the cycle of

Happy New Years! I hope you all had a really fun time last night! We stayed in and watched movies off and on and finished up some end of the year projects including Krissie's new customized blog banner which you can view here: Questions for Dessert. I had a lot of fun making this banner for her and happy that she is liking it so much!This is my shameless plug for my etsy where you can buy one of

Happy Holidays my blog friends! How has the past week been for you? I'm finally putting a close to my vacation today as we head back to our home in Virginia. I was treated way too kindly over the holidays, with more gifts than I ever deserve and more food than I ever needed.I also had an extra special treat of meeting with Krissie (and Nathan!) from Questions for Dessert this past Friday. I will

I'm here! I've been recording my food and whatnot, I just know I would be lying to myself if I thought I'd be able to keep this up everyday right now while everything is in overdrive.I know I'm not alone in the busyness of the holiday and trying to squeeze in so much. I am behind on emails, phone calls, projects, gift making and wrapping-but I will get caught up!Tonight I'm working on some

I started this writing a bunch of over explained nonsense :) As per usual haha. I think this is pretty self-explanatory. I love, love bloggers who record their daily food intake because I am completely nosy and curious as to what people are eating.This is why I love blogs so much, I know a lot of people like blogs that are about someone's opinions, but I truly love the mundain little bits of

I have a few things I want to blog about, but most of that will have to wait until this evening. I'm starting a blog schedule, special blogs for certain days, more public weigh-ins and food journaling mostly for my own good. :)I went to the dentist this morning and it wasn't so bad after all. I've been harboring incredibly insane thoughts about this tooth for a year now. I went to the denist

Hey guess what? I'm at the library right now! I'm trying my hand at doing my work outside of the house a couple of days a week to see how I like it. Working from home can be really lonely and distracting at times. My only complaint is the lack of outlets for those using laptops. Plus, I wore my gym clothes so I can get a workout in while I'm out.I have a lot that I want to ramble about today, so

I was going to write today about morning exercise and food organization, but neither one would be accurate to what I am doing today. Today we are driving an hour to our favorite Indian restaurant for lunch, and then going to the new museum in Roanoke and then to the movies. All in the name of our one year engagement anniversary.I don't have a lot to say on the subject other than its nice to take

I will be the first to admit that when it comes to primping, I only do it when I'm going out in public. If you came to my house right now you would find a sad sight: pajamas, unruly hair, un-showered, bra-less, chipped nail polish, and unshaven legs. I am a sad example of societies primed and preened woman.I've never been one to make hair appointments, not because I don't value my hair, but I

Last night I had dinner with my future sister and mother in law. It was awesome! As we were chatting towards the end my MIL started talking about setting and achieving goals. Looking at her life you can defiantly credit her for achieving many of her goals.She said something that is really sticking, and is similar to yesterdays post. She said that in order to reach your goals you have to ask

Time is relative. As I look back on my life I have been trying to achieve one weight loss goal or another by a certain date. I've done the calculations, to lose x amount of weight by x date I will have to lose x pounds a week by eating x amount of calories and doing x amount of exercises.I will admit when I was a lot younger and a lot more naive, I would actually pack clothes that were too small.

It's no secret that this time of year can be particularly stressful. Buying presents, staying within budget, visiting family members that you may or may not want to see, traveling, and the constant barrage of the years best finger foods and cookies.Yesterday, I started my day with a cup of coffee before we headed out to finish Christmas shopping. We stopped at a pizza place, I ordered a salad to

1. My scale weigh-in today. This is me trying to do a publicized weekly weigh-in. My last weigh-in I was at 283, not including my post Thanksgiving weight of 290 which I'm pretending never happened. 2. This is my crazy going to the gym picture. 3. I'm moving to wordpress! My new layout will launch January 1st.

I've been meaning to blog more this week, but after we got home Monday evening from a holiday weekend at my parents I was just too tired. Especially after the baking (5 desserts!), traveling, and eating!Tuesday morning I got on the scale and I panicked. I was stunned and shocked and wanted to cry.And that is why I didn't write. Last week I was weighing in around 283. Which we all know is up from

Hello, just popping in quickly for an update. I'm at my parents house for the weekend for the holidays and whatnot. I did my two thanksgivings for sure, but I will be back to blogging on Monday evening.I hope you all had a happy and healthy thanksgiving! Thank you for the positive supportive comments lately, it is always appreciated. See you monday!

Day two of my intuitive weight loss, as I'm referring to it was a bit easier with a small loss of control during holiday baking.The past few days I have had some serious lower back pain, the kind that radiates down through my thigh, leg and then foot. Without two advil every few hours I would have been wobbling around the house. Lower back pain for me is a sign that I need to exercise more. It

A huge weight has been lifted since I've written my last two posts. I also feel a shift in my perception of weight loss. It's gradual and I feel a lot of my old habits trying to creep in, but the shift is happening.Yesterday morning I woke up and got on the scale: 283.I wasn't hungry so I made a cup of coffee with a little of that sweetened creamer. I still wasn't hungry, but knew I should eat

That is a word that has also been on my mind for a very long time. If what I've been doing isn't working for me, I can't just throw in the towel. I need to find another way of doing things.Intuitive.I read a commenter yesterday who said "If i'm not losing weight, then I'm gaining". And that really applies to me, in the sense that if I'm not dieting then I'm eating too much. If I'm not exercising

Antsy is a good descriptive word for me these days.Antsy that I haven't been blogging more, that I haven't been losing weight, that I haven't been eating the best that I can, that I'm getting married in less than seven months and cannot bear the thought of going down the aisle into that new chapter still fat, antsy to start yet another weight loss plan, antsy because I'm tired of starting new

I've got two data entry things (three after today) to put up and I'm honestly thinking if this is the best way to do things. I forget to put one up and then they are backed up. We'll see, I'm always changing something.Thanks so much for the kind comments and emails I got yesterday regarding my new banners. I've had a few requests for custom banners so instead of doing that through paypal I just
