This post is long overdue. And it’s going to be a long one.
It’s no secret that I struggled pretty bad last month. Thankfully, I’m making strides now to “come back” and re-lose what I gained. I’m getting my mojo back and I sure don’t want to lose it again…so that’s where this post comes in. [...]

Today I weighed in at 227.8 which means I lost .2 lbs for the week bringing my total weight loss since 9/28 to 28.2 lbs.

Well, well well! What a day!
Woke up bright and early (5 AM) for the Turkey Trot this morning. My husband scrambled me some eggs and my sister brought me over a scrambled egg & ham whole wheat wrap. (yum!) So I was fueled and ready to go. Got to the race and picked up my [...]

Today went well, I suppose, other than the fact I was incredibly tired all day. (Lack of caffeine I’m sure!) I had a lot of running around to do on my lunch hour today (bank, gas, post office, take something to Madelyn’s school) so I just stopped and picked up a sub from Subway for [...]
