A couple of weeks ago I posted about my goal to (re) lose 15 pounds of the weight I regained since hitting my low of 148. At the time I weighed 172 and thought that setting in around 157 would be a nice, maintainable weight to have.
In the time since posting about that goal, I [...]
I have really been absent for a while! The last you heard from me I was complaining about Halloween candy and getting ready to attend a wedding. Well, the wedding was really nice. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, Hershey kisses were the party favors. I love Hershey kisses. I think my avid readers are well [...]
Well, mostly browns actually. That chocolate is a killer on my willpower! I didn’t have much (willpower, that is) and did have much (chocolate, that is) so overall I didn’t fare too well this Halloween. My kids did though — they had quite a haul of treats. Yikes. I’m talking in circles here— kind of [...]

There is something magical about losing 100 pounds. One year ago today I hit that mark. The day nearly came and left without acknowledgement on my behalf but my friend Katie sent me an email asking about how long I had been at my goal weight. Her question made me realize the fact that I [...]

I might need some help. Tonight after everyone else in the family went to bed, I ate a whole bag of chocolate baking morsels. Last night I was victim to a whole bag of M&Ms. The night before that I drove late at night to Culvers for custard.
The odd thing? All day each of the last [...]
I had three objectives for August 3rd:
jog 30 minutes straight on the treadmill
get back to 148 pounds
do 10 pushups
I reached the first goal on June 24th. Sadly, I never was able to complete the other two. I weighed as low as 149 since setting the goal for myself. That weight appeared on the scale a [...]

I’ve made a commitment to visit the Y every other day, and since starting on Wednesday, I did go again as planned yesterday. I didn’t really want to (woke up tired) but I went, and was glad I did. After the measly two minutes jogging I did on Wednesday, I managed to keep going for [...]
When I first started my blog, I did such so that I would have some accountability to someone other than myself. I thought that if I could admit my eating failures to someone else, it would be the first step on the road to recovery, so to speak.
Well, I’d like to be able to tell [...]
Caloric intake: 1068
Exercise calories burned: 147 (I hula-hooped my butt off today using Wii Fit)
Net calories: 921
Operating at a deficit like that should insure that the pounds come back off quickly. I’m probably throwing my body into a state of shock — going from days where I consume 3000-4500 calories to ones were I barely [...]

You know what “they” say about paths that are paved with best laid plans! About two weeks ago I posted my plans for maintenance mode. I’ve failed all of them.
I intended to up my calories by approximately 100 calories, to 1300, and try to stay in that range for three months (and also to try [...]
