This week I’m giving myself a break from the scale.  The plan is to join WW on Sunday morning, where I’ll get weighed and begin a whole new eating program.  This week I’m going to “take off” from any sort of structured plan – not going crazy with what I eat, but not yet counting [...]

Today at Book Club, AM told us about a great way she’s been fitting in exercise.  She bought a mini-trampoline, also known as a rebounder, and does it when she watches t.v.

What a great idea!!!  I’m going to buy one as soon as I get my summer grant money, which should be at the beginning [...]

Friday evening BFF called me to see how I was feeling, since she’d heard about the nasty cold I was fighting.  Our conversation quickly shifted to exercising, which is something I haven’t been doing a lot of lately, especially since this lingering cold has really taken away my energy.
BFF recently bought a WiiFit, and was [...]

Thanks to those who wrote or left comments, wondering where the heck I’ve been lately.  I didn’t mean to disappear like that, I’ve just been busy with work and coming down with a cold that sapped all of my energy when I got home from school each day.
I’ve been following the weight loss program well, [...]

 This past week I lost 1.4 pounds, for a total loss of 50.8 pounds. 
I’m glad to finally be back to having lost over 50 pounds, but I wish my weight loss for the week would have been a bit bigger.  The weight loss was more slight this week for several reasons:

I didn’t work out as [...]
