Well…I dropped the ball.  I had some stressful events occur in my life, and I let food and Big Bertha (a name I affectionately gave to my belly) run the show.  I have decided it is time to get it together.  NO MORE!!!  It is time to be heathy and feel good!  I would love your support.  Thanks!  Love and blessings to all!

Hi All.  It has been forever since I have been on this site.  For whatever reason (still trying to figure it out) I have stopped trying to better myself.  And I am sick of it.  As of tomorrow, I will be weighing in and starting over.  I can do this…one day at a time.  Thanks to all of my buddies for their continued support, even in my absence.  Love and congrats to all of you!

Hey friends.  I have officially sucked for the past few weeks.  I am such an emotional eater.  Totally aware of it.  Totally unwilling to change it.  Totally trying to learn how to be willing.  Sigh. 

 I have eaten nothing but crap, crap, and crap.  I don’t even want to weigh myself.  Scary.  But I will do it and get back on board.

 I need some push here girlies…I have lost my motivation.

I can not believe that I have lost 5 pounds in 5 days!  At first I thought it was all water weight, but my pants are falling off.  While I think fat pants falling off is a good sign ;), I want to make sure I am losing weight in a healthy manner…maybe it is just because it is my first week????  I am also CRAVING working out (weird, since I despise the gym), but I would stay all day if I could.  I have been combining strength training with walking on the treadmill at a 5.0 incline at 3.8 mph.   I sweat like crazy, but feel great when I am done.  I am going to take my first Zumba class this weekend….SOOO excited for that.  I have heard such great things!

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement to my “Starving!!!” post!  I followed the advice and upped my calories to 1400.  Felt a little better.  I think I am in a huge adjustment phase…hopefully it will get better soon!

Thanks, again.  Much love.

I am trying to keep my calories UP to 1200 at least.  The past couple of days I have been right there.  I have a problem with not eating enough calories.  I tend to like a lot of foods that are super low in calories…which would be a good thing if I ate enough…but since I don’t it is murder on my metabolism.  Anywho….I have noticed that increasing my calories means increased hunger.  I would like to eat EVERYTHING in sight.  But…GOOD NEWS…I have withheld.  I am still trying to figure out this whole eating thing, but I am on my way.  I went to the gym today instead of eating, in hopes that it would curve my hunger.  Worked wonders.  Then I ate dinner.  Five minutes later….starving.   Sigh.

And so it begins…my 47 pound journey to health and happiness!  Game on!  I am excited.  Kudos and much love to all of you!
