At the Beach – Weekly Weigh In

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh in June 14, 2013

I stopped by Weight Watchers on Friday briefly to weigh in because I am headed out of town for the beach.  Even though I had so much to do, I knew I needed to make time to weigh in and hold myself accountable.  The scale didn’t move much last week… Down 0.2 pounds.  A loss [...]

Weight Loss Success Story: My Dad

Weight Loss Success Story Dad Before and After

Happy Father’s Day from Destin, Florida!  We made it safely to the beach yesterday after spending some time with the hubby’s dad and stepmom on our way for Father’s Day. Speaking of Father’s Day, do you remember back in Elementary school where you would have disagreements with your friends and you would go back and [...]

Make Exercise a Priority

I don't find the time to exercise. I make the time to exercise.

The coolest thing happened today.  I went to Crossfit. “Hold up, Jen.  You go to Crossfit a lot.  Why is that such a big deal?!?” Great question.  I had planned NOT to go.  I actually had the perfect excuse…here’s the story… My Crossfit gym is about 20 minutes from my house.  I go to that [...]

Weight Watchers Red Velvet Creme Cakes – Review

Weight Watchers Red Velvet Creme Cake

Have you ever gone to your local grocery store and passed by the rack of Weight Watchers baked goods?  I sure have.  My dad used to buy the boxes of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies like they were going out of style (before he went gluten free!).  I used to love the chocolate chip cookies and the [...]

Eat Breakfast – Weekly Weigh In

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh In June 7 2013

I went to Weight Watchers on Friday to weigh in.  I hadn’t weighed all week.  I also didn’t eat Paleo last week and had some ice cream, oh, and brownies.  So…here is what I got: Gained 1.6.  Shocking..not really.  That’s what happens when I take a week “off.”  I still went to Crossfit four times [...]

Expect a Miracle

Miracles Happen for Those Who Believe

Do you believe it CAN and WILL happen? What is “it” you ask?  It is anything you doubt can happen to you or doubt you can do. For me, I doubted I could lose the weight I needed to lose in order to get healthy.  I didn’t believe I could do it.  I figured I [...]

KIND Healthy Snacks – Review

KIND dark chocolate nuts and sea salt bar

Since eating Paleo, I have really gone NUTTY!  In a good way of course!  Nuts are so good for you because they are high in GOOD fats and they will keep you satisfied without all the sugar and junk. My dad has been gluten free for quite a while now.  He found these bars he [...]

Summer 2013 Goals

Summer Goals 2013

Friday was my first official day of summer vacation.  I woke up early, went to Crossfit where I completed over half of Murph, weighed in at Weight Watchers, and spent the afternoon with my sister and her children.  It was a great day.  It was the perfect start of summer! At my WW meeting on [...]

Stop Emotional Eating – Weekly Weigh In

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh In

I went back to Weight Watchers today to weigh in.  It had been four week since I had weighed in.  I did ok… I lost 1.4. Here…this is a bit easier to see: Now, what I mean when I say, “I did ok” is that in four weeks, eating Paleo and doing Crossfit, I feel [...]

You Have Two Choices…

Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy

My current stress level is OUT-THE-ROOF. There were a few times today that I felt I was going to have a small panic attack.  NONE of which had anything to do with weigh loss or health…thank Goodness. It was a pile up.  It was a little crap piled on top of a little more crap [...]
