That’s how I look as of today, the start of Week Five of this journey. I’m a simple pound lighter than I was the last time I checked in, so little by little I’m making progress. Before I get too deep into this, I want to take a moment to address the whole “camera phone […]

Breakfast has always been my most difficult meal to plan around. I know that most people would say that it is dinner, but that is easy for me. What makes breakfast so difficult is the fact that my morning schedule is so tightly timed that I barely have time to eat unless I do so […]

Saying it’s been a tough two weeks is one of the biggest understatements I’ve ever made. The past two weeks have been hell. I’m not even sure where to start. Firstly, I’m up 2 pounds, which takes me to my starting point. And, my car broke down. Again. Not only did it break down, it […]

This week, I developed a smoothie habit. This development has caused great controversy in my home, because my fiancé argues that once you convert fruit into a liquid, it is no longer free (points-wise). However, I argue that, as long as I do not juice the fruit (thereby removing all of its fiber) and do […]

My weight loss has been slow, and rather painful. Well, until this week that is! I have been hearing a lot about intermittent fasting lately and I have to say it had me intrigued right away. For those who have not heard of this way of eating, let me fill you in. There’s many different […]

Well I am down one pound this week. Like I said before I am grateful for that. It has not been an easy week. First off, I should say that the film I am supposed to do has been delayed a week. I received the phone call for that mid-week. That is not an unusual […]

Weekly Weight loss Update: –1.5 lbs Inches lost: Chest: 3/4″; Waist: 3/4″; Arms: 0″; Hips: 1″; Thighs: 0″ This week’s challenge: Staying motivated to eat a truck load of veggies and beating those alarm clock blues. I’ve just about had it with the field full of veggies this program requires. I credit veggies with filling […]

Yogurt, Kashi cereal, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, pasta, chips and verde salsa.  That’s what I have eaten this past week, and pretty much every week. Every morning I wake up, drink a glass of water then wait until I’m hungry which usually takes 30 minutes to an hour.  I put three spoonfuls of Yoplait strawberry yogurt […]

Last week I mentioned how I attempted (and succeeded!) my very first lettuce wrap. This week I get even more green-friendly! Before starting my very serious approach to weight loss and getting fit, I did a lot of research. I wanted to be sure that how I lost weight didn’t hurt my body in any […]

This past week was rather difficult for me. After a long summer relaxing, working out, eating properly, and working on losing weight, I returned to work as a teacher. Last week, with all of the stress surrounding returning to work, I had a setback. Last Wednesday, I had a very stressful day. I had to […]
