Insert witty title here

Yesterday was a good day. A friend joined me for a nice long walk. Walking goes quicker when you have someone to talk to. We walked almost 3 miles. Eating has been going well. I have been logging all of my food and exercise. I need to get back into my workout routine. I have really been slacking in that department and I am kind of missing the gym. This weekend I am going to pick up a new pair of headphones and start back to the gym on Monday. I need to get back into a weight training routine. I...

A New Record.

I got the most amazing news this morning. I stepped on the scale and was down another 2 lbs. I am now at the the lowest I have been since I began my journey. I am only 3 lbs away from my mini goal of breaking 200. My weight has not been this low since before I got married (7 years ago). It feels so good! It is also helping me to continue making good choices. Matt sent me a text and asked me what the plan for dinner was. I spent the entire day repainting our guest bathroom, so I did not make any...

Good Choices

I am down another pound this week. That makes me very happy. Seeing results always pushes me to strive to see more results. Today I met a friend for lunch and was slightly nervous. Eating out is usually my downfall. I always give in and have the things that I shouldn't have and I get very enticed by the desserts. I was very proud of myself for the choices I made today with my eating. I decided beforehand that I would stick to a salad when I met my friend. The original plan was to go to a sandwich...

I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again.

And, I fell off the wagon again! The good news is, I am back on it. I'll start with a recap. I lost 50lbs between last summer and the beginning of this spring. However, I began eating poorly again. I was still going to the gym but my food choices were pretty bad. I began gaining some of the weight back. I kicked my butt back into gear and I am back at that 50 lbs mark. I am at a standstill, AGAIN! I keep going up and down between the same 3 lbs. I hate these plateaus that I keep hitting. No matter...

What in the World am I Doing?

I have let myself fall back into old habits. Old, bad habits. I worked extremely hard to loose the weight that I lost. It's time to get serious again and get back to it. NO EXCUSES! I went to Wisconsin to visit my sister for a few days. I ate horribly. I can't think of a single healthy thing that I ate. Cream Puffs are definitely NOT paleo. Katina and I hit the gym in full force. We did our cardio and then started a new workout. We did a few machines for upper body. We increased the weight on...

Tough Road.

We are still eating Paleo and we still like it. I have made several yummy things for us to eat, even desserts! Banana Nut Muffins ( I added nuts to mine ) Apple Crisp with Coconut Whipped Cream I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. It was so delicious! I love the Whipped Cream too. You can add cinnamon, honey, vanilla, even dark chocolate to it to change it up a bit. I feel much better on this diet. I am waking up earlier in the mornings without feeling tired. I have been able to eat breakfast...

Marco. Paleo!

I know it has been awhile (again), since I have posted. But I finally have stuff to blog about, again. Before the holidays I got down to 204 lbs from 242 lbs. After the holidays, I hit a bump and gained some of the weight back. Going into the new year I was at 213 lbs. I do NOT want to go backwards. I have worked way to hard to go back to where I was.  I am very happy to say that I am back in my normal gym routine and back down to 205 lbs.  On Sunday (January 27th) My husband sent...

A New Year. A New Me.

I'm back. I fell off the blog wagon for a bit but I am working on posting more from now on. Oh the down side, I will admit. I did gain a few pounds back. I am at 210 lbs right now. However, after coming clean to my husband about my "cheating" on my diet (and being honest with myself about it), I am...
