Week two is going well, although I do feel like I’m losing steam. Not with the challenge – I’m still really gung-ho about that. but with the workouts and the food.
I’ve only worked out with Jimmy once this week, although I have done a Wii workout at home twice. This is a lot less [...]

Monday night Jimmy took measurements, and I was really hoping to see some dramatic results. I can tell in my clothes that things are fitting looser, but I wanted to see the numbers move on the measuring tape to tell me this for sure.
I was actually really surprised by the results (last measurements were taken [...]

This week I’ve been skipping carbs at night and getting in a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio, so I expected to see fairly big results on the scale. I did lose 1.4 pounds, and while that is a nice loss, I do have to admit that I expected more. I thought I’d lose at [...]

Life is still really hectic, but SO much better since my talk last week with both my mom and Jimmy. I’m feeling a lot better about my slow weight loss and know that the pounds are bound to come off, at some point. I just keep reminding myself to be PATIENT.
In the midst of crazy, [...]

Today LC, my nieces, and I participated in a 2-mile “fun run” in Lafayette. LC found out about the walk, and since I’d never done one with my nieces (7 and 2), I thought it would be fun. The thing is, my older niece is really active, so I knew keeping an eye on her [...]

Since this is the first week of the challenge, there’s not that much to report. I just thought it up on Monday, so I’ve only been doing it for a few days.
A few things that I’ve been doing this week that will help me meet my challenge goals:

Last night I had my first personal training session in a week (both Jimmy and I had personal things going on and had to cancel our last two appointments). I walked into the gym, and right away he could tell that something was up with me. He asked me what was wrong, and I told him [...]

I follow quite a few weight loss vloggers on Youtube, and many of them are participating in a challenge that they’re calling Sexy for Santa. I thought it sounded interesting, and although I’m not sure exactly how it’s working on there, I wanted to start my own little Countdown to Christmas Challenge.
There are 67 days [...]
