Dear Body, Who Are You?

I was only gone for about a day over the weekend and somehow it seemed like much longer, in a good way. I hope you all are having a lovely long weekend, is today a non-working holiday? Valentine’s day was so sweet for us, we drove to Roanoke to stay the night and on the [...]

Regaining Focus

I know that I need to remind myself daily of where I want to be. Checking in with myself and my goals. My mind has been far away the past couple of days making it hard to concentrate on any one thing. I’m hesitant to talk about this on my weight loss blog, but it [...]

Don’t Stop ’till You Get Enough (LaraBars)

Want a LaraBar? I have too many! I’ve been hearing rave reviews about these things lately and how they “taste just like cherry pie!” or whatever dessert their name says they are. And of course, I went online and had to buy some, and when I say some I mean a giant box. So far [...]

My Strength Training Regimen

I’ve been doing two sets of strength training a week off and on for about two years now. We’ve (me and the josh)  been pretty inconsistent with going, but have gotten back into it this past month. Now, I am obviously not a trainer or recommending this to anyone out there. If you are curious, [...]

I Exercised. I Didn’t Want To.

Today I really wanted to find reasons not to exercise. I wasn’t feeling especially energetic, and to be honest I was looking forward to the sushi afterward. Can’t we just skip the exercise and go right to sushi? No? okay…

That’s how it was and I know that I need to keep this in mind. [...]

What Do Your Calories Look Like?

I posted a few days ago a picture of my breakfast which was really good and filling, but it was 755 calories. Its funny how perspective can change so quickly. After reading the comments on that post and seeing this recent post on Spark People I knew that my meals could stand lightening up.

After [...]

Pattern Maker and Breaker

I’m noticing a pattern, lately I’ve been feeling a little frustrated with the fact that I’m not losing weight more quickly. I’ve been exercising and eating better, some days better than others and I’m still looming in the high 280′s and this is making me want to throw a pity party.

The sad thing is, [...]

Pound for Pound Challenge- Lose Weight, Work to End hunger

A few days ago I was contacted by a representative of General Mills letting me know about a new campaign aimed to help eliminate hunger in America by pledging to lose weight with the Pound for Pound Challenge.

I’ve talked about this before, and have always felt that weight loss can get very self-involved [...]

Weight Training

The electricity has been on and off since last night around 11, combined with freezing temperatures and trying to keep the pipes from freezing! Welcome to country life.

Yesterday we went to the gym and spend an hour an a half which is pretty standard for the days that we go. Twice a week strength training [...]
