Well the weekend was not a shining example of health and fitness. Rather than rehash the past and my mistakes which I have already acknowledged to myself, I want to look at the future.
Today, a Sunday, was a beautiful day. The weather was warm, but it was strange because it kept getting cooler [...]

Monday weigh in was 150.0 pounds. What a great number to be revisiting. I have had so much fun dressing up and playing with my appearance lately… is this the happiness one when feels when you are content with yourself? Must be because I have been feeling great! I am trying [...]

Kids run screaming out the doors, so happy to finally have arrived at their last day of school.  Me, not so much.  I’m going to miss them and miss working with them to promote their success, and being able to pay my bills.  I do have some side line gigs for the summer, but I [...]

Apparently I need to find a method to improve my memory: my car insurance expired today and I forgot to pay it.  Oops.  Lesson learned, I need better organization, and perhaps a reevaluation of my current activities.  I feel like I’m extremely busy to the point of distraction, and I am not satisfied with that.

So this blog is coming in a little late…I didn’t get home from the celebrations of May 31st until, well, June 1st.  But I did want to dedicate one blog to a major change in my life, my 25th birthday.  The weather was beautiful, not too hot, nor too cold, sunny, with partial cloud cover.  [...]

My family parties are like a field of fat land mines, just waiting to blow up your diet. My mom’s side of the family is especially lacking in health consciousness. It shows in their appearance as well as their attitudes towards health and fitness. They often talk about health and fitness, but [...]

As part of writing this blog, I go in monthly to MicroNutra, the company who markets HealthSlim, the weight control capsule I take three times a day. When I go, they weigh me, take my measurements and take a picture of me. I have seen the initial picture they took, from January 2009. Recently I [...]

Monday weigh in 151.2 pounds. Just can’t seem to hit that 150 mark… soon. I feel confident about this new workout program, Slim in Six, can bring me to that last step to where I want to be. It should help to tone my body and through the process, I will shed [...]

Oh yes, I said it. Spring cleaning can be a good thing. I have finally dug out my totes from the basement containing my spring and summer clothes that I didn’t bother to hang in the closet last year. I was just too fat to fit into them. I felt bad [...]
