As much as I love shopping, one purchase that I am not looking forward to making is a new scale. Because you know that no matter what, the new scale is going to be off from the old one and I’ll either be thrilled with the new results, or I’ll be upset. Although, I really [...]

It’s already Wednesday again? October has been flying by, and I’ve been so busy with work and other obligations that I feel like I’m not concentrating on weight loss as much as I should be. Or, maybe it’s just become such a routine (in a good way) that I have it down pat and I [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It’s finally starting to feel like Fall where I live, which is so nice. I love Fall/Winter weather because where I live in the SF Bay Area it’s fairly moderate. Yes, we get lots of rain, and yes, we have cold days, but “cold” is very relative, especially compared to my friends [...]

Not following the plan seems to be the theme of this weekend. In some cases it worked out great, but in others, not so much. Friday I started off the weekend well. I made it to my training appointment as planned, and had a good workout with Robbie. I used kettlebells for the first time, [...]

I am so thankful this week that I’m finally feeling back to normal and I was able to workout a couple of times. In fact, yesterday I met with my new trainer, Robbie, for the first time, but I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. Even though I’ve been tracking, drinking water, and just started [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Last week I finally turned the corner in my bronchial virus, and I really started to feel better as the week went on. I went to the gym twice (Friday afternoon and Sunday am) and enjoyed it so much both times. I also realized that I always make going to the gym [...]

To get the full effect of this blog post, please hit play on this video and listen to the music as you read. If you want to imagine I moved my hips as well as Shakira, I’m not going to stop you. Let me set the scene: This morning I woke up to grey clouds, [...]

I’ve been looking forward to writing this post all weekend, but finally have the time to sit down and do it now. (On a side note – this has been one of the best weekends in recent memory, and I’ve spent most of it alone with Lulu, at home. Sometimes I think we all need [...]

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I am so thankful that finally, FINALLY my mind, body, and spirit are all on the same side in this weight loss battle. For so long I’ve felt like I have been spinning my wheels, through no one’s fault but my own. But now I’m on a roll and [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I meant to write this post so much earlier today, but the day really got away from me. There’s been a shift in my thinking, in my whole outlook recently. If you read my last post, you’ll know that after taking a long, hard look at myself in the mirror lately, I’ve [...]
