I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see the latest picture, as I have them displayed in descending order.
It was kind of important to me to show my progress in the same clothes because I thought it would more accurately show an “apples to [...]
A few months ago you may remember me mentioning a couple of friends that were training for a 5K. It was so motivating for me that I dusted off the treadmill in the basement and tried gradually increasing the number of jogging minutes in a 30 minute interval. While I had gotten that number up [...]
This week’s weigh-in has me at 187, down one pound from last week. I’ll take it! I was pretty diligent with food, not going over my daily calorie goal (of 1350, which is what livestrong.com says I should consume to lose two pounds per week) any day of the week! Of course, I technically should have [...]

Unfortunately, I didn’t exercise much either. I REALLY have to get on track [...]

I am doing well with food, more or less, but I really need to commit to getting more exercise. The weight is coming off at an acceptable pace, so I really can’t complain too loudly. But, think of how much better I would be doing if I made the time to exercise!
Today, my dear hubby [...]
I think I have mentioned before that I have a treadmill in the basement that is not being used because if I were to do so, it would blow the fuse for the pump in our aquarium. (We have received a quote from an electrician to remedy that for us but haven’t acted on it [...]

Well, I told my husband yesterday that I insisted that we rearrange our schedules so that I would have a regular time to exercise. I didn’t have much luck finding another mom in the neighborhood that was willing to swap child care duties with me so that we could each go to the YMCA. So, [...]
