A Week of Ups and Downs

Last week I had a rough go when it came to working out as my shifts at work were not the norm and thus I wasn’t able to attend boot camp the way I wanted to. This week was much better for that, I have been 4 times so far, which is great! I also … Continue reading

Measuring

I knew this day was coming…the day when I would need to measure everything that goes into my mouth. I started it slowly, when I moved to Houston, by measuring the amount of chicken, beef and fish I was eating. I will admit that when it came to snacking, I was lax. When it came … Continue reading

Frustrated…

I have almost been at an epic weight for almost 8 weeks. My weight has not budged for the entire time to get me to this weight, the lowest I will have been since I was a teen. So I made a decision–I broke up with the scale. It’s not going to be for forever, I … Continue reading

Bye Bye Boobs

It’s kind of amazing how the week that I gain weight is the week when I start seeing differences in my body again. It started with my trainer saying something on Monday. Then the next day at work my boss said that it was getting noticeable that I was losing weight, that I was looking different. Then … Continue reading

Weight Gain = Sadness

It wasn’t a tremendous gain, but a gain none-the-less. It’s sad. It’s demoralizing. I am working very hard to lose weight and get in shape, so to see a gain is disheartening. I have just recently written about my struggles with food and I know that Easter weekend didn’t help matters (eating mini eggs) nor … Continue reading

Eating Out Tricks

The latest Weight Watchers meeting discussed tricks when you eat out. This was a great topic considering that the week before I ate out three times and ordered from the menu without really thinking too much. I made sure I was ordering chicken and somewhat healthy food but I still ate the bread when it … Continue reading
