3 months done. Can you believe it? I certainly cannot. Life has certainly changed....for the better. Everything is healthier. Every choice is better, easier to make. This week Jen and I had a certain weight loss goal in mind. It was lofty and we came up short but I still had a really good week. …
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 9- The Days You Surprise Yourself
Week 9 started with yet another holiday...Memorial Day! Holidays and holiday weekends have certainly changed at our house, for the better I would argue. Let me preface by saying that while I'm at the gym 5 or 6 times a week, there is a part of me that yearns to be outside! So, my husband …
Week 8- Do What You Love
Over the past 2 months, you've read about my workouts with the trainers and the Expresso bike and my meetings with Linda but what I haven't really talked about is Zumba. If my work schedule allows, I try to go to at least one Zumba class a week. It is an hour of exercise that …
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 …
