It's been 4 months. 4 months of hard work, dedication and 4 months of seeing that hard work pay off on the scale....until this week. I knew it would come at some point. My weigh-in went slightly the wrong way this week. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that a bad week would be the be-all, …
Week 15- Regaining Momentum
You all know what the week after vacation feels like.... That was definitely how I was feeling. It took some mental fortitude to get the wheels churning again in the gym and in the outside world but luckily I got into a nice little rhythm early on in the week. I was super active all …
Week 14- Vacation
As I write this, we are finishing up our staycation. It's been a really good week and some much needed time off to spend with my husband, family and friends. But where does working out fall into that mix? Well, I'll give you a glimpse into how I handled it. When we started vacation, Jon …
Week 13- Milestones
If someone tells me, "Yeah, I lost 20 pounds," my reaction is always holy cannoli, that is truly awesome. It's an arbitrary number but for some reason, to me, it is significant. I know I haven't shared much in the way of numbers in these posts and there are many reasons for that. Firstly, if …
Week 11- Waiting for the Chips to Fall
I wish this was about waiting for potato chips to fall inside my mouth.....but it's not. Though if the sky decided to rain chips, I'd ask Mother Nature to make it Sour Cream & Onion. I had two really good weeks for Week 9 & 10. So this week, I wanted to address the elephant …
Week 10- Getting in a Groove
Another week has flown by. I cannot believe we are at Week 10 already. This week was the first week that I felt some fluidity with the entire process. I finally feel as though I have a handle on the diet and I'm slowly learning how to make adjustments when I'm not eating out of …
Week 7- Sometimes Life Gets in the Way
Sometimes I can't believe it's been 7 weeks since I've had a cheeseburger. 7 weeks since I've had a Diet Coke. I mean, come on....that's a long time! That's longer than Lent! This week was kind of a mixed bag. I had great workouts with Jen and good meetings with Linda, but the beginning of …
Week 6- All About the Number (No Not That Number)
This week's title might be enticing for you. Oooo numbers! Right off the bat let me tell you that, no, I will not be telling you my number. Not my phone number, not my PIN number and not my weight. There's no need for anyone to know my number. But this week is actually about …

Week 5- Sometimes Less is More
I struggled to come up with a theme for this post. This week started on a rather low note for me. Weight loss is not linear and oftentimes you feel like you're on a roller coaster. Unfortunately, your emotions go along for the ride as well. Monday, I sat in Linda's office and just cried. I was exhausted …
Week 1: TBT- This is no joke.
As I sit here writing to you, I'm using about the only part of my body that's not sore...my fingers. Literally there are so many muscles that have just been lying dormant in my body for probably the past 5 years and this week...they have awoken. Tuesday , I had my first workout with Jen …
