Hovering

When writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen.

Hovering:  A verb.  It means to “Remain poised in one place, typically with slight but undirected movement.” I am hovering. I have been hovering for a while and I need someone/something to come get me out of this “hovering” position. Unfortunately, I am in charge of my own aircraft.  I am the pilot. I cannot [...]

I Ain’t No Quitter – Weekly Weigh In

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh In

I was thinking about quitting. Sunday and Monday I wanted to quit. Throw my hands up in the air. Say four years of going to Weight Watchers meetings is too long. I QUIT. But…I didn’t. You wanna know why? Because of you. Because of me. For my future. For my family. To live longer. Because [...]

Get Out Of That Funk!

Its Just a Bad Day. Not a Bad Life.

So, to say I have been in a funk lately would be quite an understatement.  I have been in a major funk and it has lasted a lot longer than funks normally last. I’m not sure if it is the weather, stress, lack of exercise, lack of eating right, or HELL – ALL OF THE [...]

If It Were Easy Everyone Would Do It

Of course it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. If it were easy everyone would do it.

Lately I have been feeling down about my weight loss. I have asked questions like, “Why is this taking so long?  HOW did I let myself gain 15 pounds over the past year. WHY can’t I just reach goal?!?” Two seperate people have told me the same thing over the last week: OMG! How true [...]

Weight Gain Meltdown

Your body is not an enemy.

A week ago on Tuesday, I had a weight gain meltdown. I wasn’t going to talk about it.  I had hoped that it would pass and I could just act like it didn’t happen.  Then, I realized that there are probably many others out there who have had a meltdown recently due to a number [...]

Act Like a Skinny Person

Don't forget you are what you eat. I need to eat a skinny person.

I cannot begin to tell you how much the emails, comments, and words of encouragement mean to me after yesterday’s post.  I know we ALL have slip-ups and it seems like lots of us have had a few lately.  I am so glad that when I continue to put myself out there (even though sometimes [...]

Turn Slip Ups Into Success – Weekly Weigh In

What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

If you don’t mind, I am just going to let my thoughts go for a minute.  Bear with me! I’ve slipped. I’ve slipped far and I’ve been slipping for quite a while. This week’s Weight Watchers topic was PERFECT for me.  You know why?!?  Because I had a major slip up. I gained 3.8 pounds. [...]

Track and Walk – Weekly Weigh In

if you're tired of starting over, stop giving up

Like I told you all last week, I promised to go weigh in and report back to you. I gained 2.8 pounds. It had been three weeks since I have gone to weigh in.  I was on vacation and then chose to go to the zoo. So, how do I feel about the gain?  Relieved and disappointed [...]

Pants Don’t Lie

No Muffin Top is what I look forward to

I put on my cute Banana Republic capris yesterday to go tutor and O-M-G They were so tight.  I looked like I had painted the darn things on.  Of course, my muffin top was also out of control.  Of course I still wore them and at one point in the afternoon after working for over [...]
