Baggy Pants x 2

I’ve had a stomach bug the last few days. Not fun! I was counting my lucky stars that I didn’t get it when everyone else seemed to be getting it but now its here.  I was wondering though; what happens physiologically when I’m sick that enables me to go for days on 5 saltine crackers and a […]

Woo hoo *doin the happy dance*   After 3 weeks with a measly .8 loss total, TOM passed and the weight came off! Amazing how that happens! This morning’s weigh in?  Drum Roll please..   4.2 lbs!! What! say that again ??? I haven’t seen a number like that since my first week.  I officially hit my […]

So Michelle thought since Wednesday’s are one of our workout days we would “run/walk” to Walmart which is about 2 miles from our work. We were on our way there and I totally biffed it on the side walk. Now that was a little humiliating. So I brushed off my wounds and we continued on […]

So there are a couple of fairly large women that I work with that have started losing a lot of weight and I have been trying really hard to pass on the encouragement and to compliment them every time I see them. I know how great it feels to hear how great you look. […]

On Saturday we really did do our first 5k together.  Amy’s goal was to try to make it in at least 40 minutes.  Mine was to not come in last.   We accomplished both goals.  We completed in 34.36 minutes and didn’t come in last.   We even managed to pass somebody. It took us until […]

Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — that daunting, almost superhuman, […]

So I’ve reached the half way point to my goal of 160.  I am so excited to be on the down hill side of losing weight. Once I reach 160, I hope to keep going. Michelle and I got our body fat measured today so that we can keep track of our progress with weight […]

So now that we are working out and starting some weight training does anybody have any suggestions to get rid of the spare tires around the middle and under the bum. I just hate the feel of that little roll at the top of my thighs, under my bum. Very annoying.
I have to admit it […]

I have the nicest bosses. They are so thoughtful that they went to a lunch today and each brought back a loaf of pumpkin chocolate chip bread for me. They laughed when they both brought one back but now they have sliced one of the loaves and have set it on my desk […]

I was reading Will’s blog the other day and he talks about being addicted to food.  I think I am the same way and its amazing to think that you can really become addicted to something that is a physiological need.  There are tons of websites about it and studies being done to try to […]
