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 12- Keeping It Fresh
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 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 …
