Will The Real Fat Lady Please Stand Up?
My first blog. I really wasn't sure what to blog about, but then it hit me. Actually, I hit it. You see, about three years ago I was svelte, athletic, and confident. I worked out four, maybe five times a week. I ate right. Although I am ecstatic about......Read More

And We're Off!
Today is the official day that I've started my race toward a healthier me. I woke up early and had a breakfast shake. No, I didn't stand in front of a stack of pancakes and links and do the happy dance. That's the old me. The shake I drank was low in sugar and calories. It kept me satisfied for......Read More

A guinea pig, success, and pizza cravings
The morning has been interesting. At first I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to stand up after yesterday’s workout, but I’m okay. I skipped breakfast in preparation for a research study that was to start at 11:15. Except that they rescheduled me at the last minute for a later......Read More

Chicken fried steak. Need I say more?
This morning was looooong. I started things off with a low cal shake and lots of H20. I spent all morning driving around the city, running various errands. It was hot and humid today, and all the getting in and out of the car was taking its toll on me. It's like I could......Read More

A Suprising Victory At The Gym
I started things off with a cup of coffee. Yea, not too exciting…or nutritious. I am running out of Blue Mountain coffee and decided to use some that I bought at the store. There is definitely a difference in taste. If you are a coffee drinker and you get the......Read More

Happy Friday! I just love Fridays. Everyone seems to be in a better mood. I know I'm posting late, but I had to write about today. Today was a little more exciting for me because the week is almost over, which means…I have almost made it a whole week AND weigh......Read More

A Treat For Me And You Butter Not Stop Me
This morning I had a cup of coffee and two scrambled eggs with 1.5 oz of ham with a tablespoon of cheese. It gave me the fuel to tackle my tub. I’ve been trying to get away from using chemicals as cleaners and tried vinegar and baking soda. At first I just threw it all......Read More

Weighing In On Today's Events
It’s weigh in day! I woke up a little apprehensive. I was nervous. What would the scale read? Would it tell me to get off and head to the nearest truck weigh in station for it was no longer able to handle my weight? There was only one way to tell… I......Read More

I don't feel well...and now I miss the fair!
I woke up this morning not feeling well. I even called in to work. To make matters worse, the Vertical Butterfly has taken its toll on me. If I move my arms away from my body, I feel the pain. If I was indeed a butterfly, I would be grounded at this point. This......Read More
