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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve attempted my 30 minutes of treadmill work three times now in the last four days. The first time I did it, I jogged 11 out of the 30 minutes. The second time, 13 minutes, and today 15.5 minutes. Nice improvement! And, I noticed again today that it seems to be a bit easier to [...]

I had very good intentions of going to the YMCA this morning. However, I just couldn’t gather the energy to get out of bed well before the crack of dawn — which is when I’d have to do it to fit it in before my little one wakes up in the morning. The truth is, [...]

Every evening I have been accompanying my daughter, or husband, depending on who volunteers to walk the dog and have enjoyed mile-long walks. Sometimes, depending on the time we have available, we’ve even been going the long route along the park and lake for a walk that spans about 2.5 miles.
The exercise has felt great [...]
I weighed 251 on the scale this morning. Two pounds in two days is a pleasant surprise, as I was 253 on Wednesday morning. That long walk last night must have really done the trick!
I’m getting close to the weight I was before getting pregnant (243) in 2007, the last time I paid close attention [...]
John and I decided to go on a nice long walk this evening. I pushed the stroller and John walked the dog. He said at the dinner table that he was in the mood for a nice long walk and that sounded great to me! With appointments left and right today, there wasn’t much time [...]
