This is going to be a fairly anti-climactic weigh-in, since I already blogged about my glorious entry into Onederland on Saturday. However, because I’m OCD, I wanted to at least record my results from my ‘official’ weigh-in this morning:
I weighed in this morning at 199.4 lbs which is a 3.4 lb loss for the week. This [...]
THANK YOU
I just want to thank each and every one of you who commented on my last blog post. It was very difficult for me to post the pictures I did – it left me feeling very vulnerable the next morning. So much so, that I came online to delete them out of my post, [...]
This may be the understatement of the year, but these morning workouts with Michelle are brutal. She had me doing things this morning I would have never even thought of, so I thought I’d share them here.
The most creative thing she had me do this morning was on the treadmill. With it unplugged. And at [...]
Today was such a whirlwind, I hardly know where to start.

Oh hell yes! What an awesome workout! My face gets SOOO red, doesn’t it? So, now I’m less than 5 miles from reaching my perfect 10 goal, [...]
I was scanning some old photos tonight and came across a couple gems I wanted to share, I hope you don’t mind.
As you can see, my love of pasta began at a very early age!
Of course there was also this picture:
Yes, that’s me sitting on my dad’s weight bench (those are my [...]
