">Weekly Weigh In – Time to get serious

I’ve noticed the weight goes up and down within a few pounds. This week I’m feeling REALLY good (other than seasonal allergies), but the scale shows no loss. At least it doesn’t show a gain either. With the little things I’m doing, I’m feeling better, BUT it’s not showing on the scale. Now that the [...]

">Weekly Weigh In – Maybe It Was the Frosting

Gained. Yes. I’ve gained. And while I didn’t do much traditional exercise, I was WAY more active last week than normal and I thought there would be some kind of loss. All the cleaning getting ready for Andrew’s birthday party. All the running around the day of the party keeping kids entertained and happy and [...]

">Weekly Weigh In – Is it Friday again already?

Well thanks to the SNOW, I didn’t get out walking as much as I’d like to, but I did what I could inside and I’m down a pound again. The snow tends to aggravate my Fibromyalgia too, so anything I did was a miracle. LOL One pound. I’ll take it. It’s better than gaining again. [...]

">Weekly Weigh In – Beating My Head Against the Wall

photo credit: greencandy8888 So you can probably already guess that this week didn’t go so hot. My fault. I didn’t exercise hardly at all. I’d tell you why, but I got some dudes reading this on occasion and don’t want them all creeped out like I asked them to go buy me some tampons or [...]

">Weekly Weigh In – This isn’t going so well

photo credit: masonmasteka Well another week down and another pound lost. I suppose I should be grateful for the one pound, and a part of me is happy due to the fact I’m doing almost nothing to achieve  it. My frustration is why I’m not doing anything. Granted I’ve been crazy busy. And on top [...]

">Weekly Weigh In

This week wasn’t great in the weight loss dept. I’m down one pound. I guess it’s not bad. I’m still bad about following through with exercise. Even with the my great new fancy machine. I did get on it a few times and was only able to ride for one minute. And I had to [...]

">Weigh In

Ok, so I’ve done hardly anything this week other than cut out the Coke. And I’ve still had a few, they’ve just been few, and not daily…well, ummm, several times daily. Plus I’ve done some walking and drinking more water. That’s about it. Weight loss total for the week: 2 pounds. I’ll take it! Follow [...]

">Goodbye Coke. It’s been fun.

photo credit: cam_rich345 I mentioned on Monday how I’m going to try to lose some weight and take control of my health. Well let’s just say that’s not going so well. LOL I started with trying to give up Coke. A long time ago I was addicted…like 4 or 5 a day had to have [...]

">Facing Women’s No. 1 Health Fear

(NAPS)—A recent survey found that breast cancer is the disease women worry about most, more than heart attack, diabetes or lung cancer. The survey also showed that women who are unhappy with their physical appearance are less likely to get lifesaving preventive screenings such as mammograms. “Our new breast cancer campaign entitled ‘Learn. Love. Commit.’ [...]

">Opinions Anyone?

A few months ago, I was interested in a new health product. I couldn’t find anybody in my normal social networking circles who represented this product. So I searched Google and checked out a few sites until I found somebody who I felt was really into  her business and would be a good rep to [...]
