March 2012

I haven’t posted a thing in six months! That is an indication I haven’t exercised regularly either. I refuse to beat myself up about it. Yes, I have gotten fatter, even though I have not gained pounds. My measurements and the way I look in the mirror keep me real. The scale only tells me [...]

Jenny Craig… a familiar friend!

A few months ago, I re-joined Jenny Craig. I have been doing well on the plan. However, I have not exercised nearly as much as I should. I am enjoying the food, as I did when I was on the program while living in Connecticut. I moved back to Northwest Arkansas in 2009, but I could [...]

HK Cruiser is my new best friend!

The first time I rode her, I went about 3/10′s of a mile. I never realized that the stop sign nearest my house is actually at an incline. I felt every push of the pedal!! The second time I rode her, I went 7/10′s of a mile. I was sweating and SO out of breath [...]

Meet my Hello Kitty Cruiser!!

I am married to a very supportive husband. He encourages me each step of the way in my journey to health and fitness. When I mention my goals and desires, he listens to me and remembers what I share with him. He never belittles me or says, “Oh, I have heard THAT before…”, even when [...]

Before photo and a late start!

I have had a few false starts, but here goes! My official “before” photo: Weight as of this morning: 172.4. I am wearing a size 12-14. I have not been exercising consistently. This blog is all about honesty, so I have to admit that I hate exercising. Once I begin, I am always glad that [...]

Body Measurements

I believe that body measurements are the most accurate way of keeping track of weight loss. My weight can fluctuate up or down 2 pounds within a 24 hour period, so I only weigh myself once a week. My body measurements are: May 10, 2011 Neck:           13.50 inches Bicep:          12.50 inches Forear

Disappointed, but not discouraged!

There has been a heatwave for at least 7 days with record-breaking heat and humidity. So, when there was a thunderstorm, I was thrilled because it was cooler after the storm. At 8:00 PM, it was 72 degrees. That is more than 20 degrees cooler than it was at 6:00 pm! I went to the [...]

Heatwave — I won’t let it get me down!

I have a confession. I have not made any attempt to workout in the house even though I have plenty of workout DVDs, a balance ball, weights and everything else I need to get a solid workout done. On top of that, I have been grazing on miscellaneous things such as: Baked Lays, sweet pickles, [...]
