It's Official
Weigh In sucked yesterday.
I am exactly at my start weight of 256lbs.
I feel so deflated.
Moved, Christmas and BLAH
I know I haven’t been here and I apologize.
Our basement flooded the day before we were to move, it snowed moving day, my house is 75% done.
Christmas is overwhelming me this year.
And I didn’t weight myself today because I suck.
I will tomorrow.

I Hope It Is Contagious
I am hoping this change back to healthy living is contagious. Dave has been watching himself just not as good as he could.
I am getting my playlist ready for the gazelle tonight.
I can’t wait!
Weigh Ins will still be on Thursday and I will be doing my measurements once a month as I used to.
I have about 6 pairs of brand new jeans that want to be worn.
They won’t have to wait...
Today
Today I will be back to my workouts and strict eating habits.
I am excited to be doing it again.
I Am Back
I am here again. Not even sure if I have one follower left but I am back.
I have fallen off the wagon.
Pretty sure I have gained most of the 50lbs I lost.
I am disgusted with myself.
I am ashamed.
Some days I hate myself for doing this to myself AGAIN!
I need to start over.
I WANT to start over.
So it begins today.

Sunday Workout
It is hotter than Hades here right now but last night I decided to hop on the gazelle I got half way through when a friend came and grabbed me for a bike ride. So, instead I spend a half hour riding my bike. I love bike rides! But when I came home it was mosquito time and I was a smorgasbord for them. I have bites all over that are driving me nuts!! Definitely need to leave earlier so I...

findingbritt:
I am so sick of all of these games. You are my parents, not my peers. Stop making fun of me. Stop making fat jokes about me eating everything because I don’t. Stop calling me lazy. Stop pointing out the stretch marks on my legs— I KNOW that they are there. Stop trying to guilt trip me. Stop…
As a Mom I am saying this to you…I think you are perfect the way you are...
Measurements - A Year Later
Okay so we all know I gained back some of the weight I lost due to broken ankle, lack of enthusiasm and then self sabotage. None of which I excuse, I am explaining how I am where I am now. Working those inches and pounds away the best way I can.
Here’s a little then and now in measurements I am going to share. I am both proud and deflated at the same time. I thought I would be at my...
Day by Day
Thursday evening was the bike ride, I took Friday off and yesterday I did 30 minutes on the gazelle and 10 on the stationary bike. I am so happy to be back in the groove. I feel good about myself again. I am taking it all day by day and working hard at it again.
Later on I will be taking my measurements to see just how far I’ve come in a year. I haven’t exactly decided if I will...
@abitofsilliness
I haven’t taken measurements but I will be doing that tonight. Totally forgot about that..:)
WTH?
So I haven’t weighed myself in a few weeks and I have been watching what I eat, exercising and all that goes with it and I GAINED 3 lbs…..RAWR. And NO - not near shark week either :(
One Hour
I just went on a one hour bike ride and feel fantastic! Thanks to the girl who lives across the street for inviting me along. It was great!
Hope I do that again soon….:)
Awesome Workout
I don’t know if I ever told you guys this but the best best best workouts I have are when I blare the tunes on the mp3 player hop on the gazelle (and today the bike as well) and sing my heart out. I love letting loose and feeling free.
Today was one of those work out days and now I know for sure there will be many more in the days to comes. I feel remarkable tonight and hopefully I will...
It is on!
I am committed to losing this final 58lbs. I have found several recipes I am going to try out. I am back to eating salad for lunch and loads and loads of fruit. The workouts are coming along, I am going to start getting more intense with those.
The best thing of all? I AM LOVING IT!!
Healthy Eating
I am back on track eating properly and feel pretty damn good. I have been looking for some different recipes to try that are simple and light for lunches for work.
Want to share some of your favourites with me?

She's Weighing In - Shame Edition
I have decided to weigh in bi-weekly in hopes that I won’t take a gain too hard. Hope it works. You will also notice that it is just me weighing in. Dave doesn’t much weigh in anymore and I don’t know when he will so for now I am solo.
WEEK ONE
Start Weight 228.8 lbs
Yes, this is the shame edition I have gained 11 lbs over the past 4 or 5 months. I know where I am gaining...
Day 2
It all went well except for the sucker I ate. I have such a sweet tooth. Need to find something else to replace it.
Day 1 - SUCCESS!!
Today was fantastic. I ate healthy and did my circuit workout.
I feel awesome but tired so I am heading off to bed.
Hope you all had a great day!!
Here We Go Again
Tomorrow begins me right back to being strictly regimented in my eating, exercise and sleeping. I am feeling the self satisfaction slowly seeping back into me.
I have a few “goal” clothes waiting to be worn. 4 pairs skinny jeans and 1 absolutely beautiful top. This is inspiration enough BUT I also promised myself a few Guess pieces for my winter wardrobe. This is HUGE for me since...
Time Management
I seriously need to do some time management. I want to be able to workout in the morning before I do my work (my business) and work (my job). I want to save evenings for relaxation. Now, how to achieve that…

Changes
Wow…2 days away and they change things!! I am going to have to relearn Tumblr…lol
Anywho, I am still doing circuit training and tonight I will start a little Pilates/gazelle/exercise bike regimen at home. Cannot wait.
Still kind of battling the healthy eating because I am sick of a lot of things.
Anyone have some delish tips for a twist on salads??
Present and Accounted For
I am here! I know, not like I used to be, but I am still HERE!!!
I am so happy, I am into a size 14 and it is not a fluke because I fit into 2 pairs of size 14 capris. I am excited because this was a huge goal I wanted to reach.
I am still slowly working my way over to my 2k. Tonight I walked 1.5 minutes and jogged 1.5. I need to get up to 2 minutes soon. But it was a great cardio...

Weigh In
Because I am so not happy with myself right now I am not posting the weigh-ins. Maybe I am being a baby about it, I don’t know but I felt shame this morning when I stepped on the scale. I don’t know how I managed but I have gained AGAIN.
I guess I need to work out some more????
This so put a damper on my day…:(
Still Doing It Plus Some
Even though it has been UBER UBER insane here I am still on track and feeling fantastic about it too. Last night we made our own salsa…yum! I will post recipe soon.
Just so you all know- On May 1 I launched my own business and this past week it has really picked up therefore I barely have time to breathe…lol. But that’s a good thing!!!
