With 35 lbs. left to lose and realizing I’m nearing the halfway mark on my weight loss journey, I really need to kick it into high gear. I’ve made quite a few eating and workout changes, but I can’t say I haven’t over indulged from time to time. [...] More...
Yippee! I did really well this week and lost a total of 3 lbs. With a total 14 lbs. weight loss to date, I’m starting to notice my pants are fitting better, my rings are sliding off and my watch has extra slack!

I’m keeping in mind the holidays just ended and I started a 9 to 5 job this week, so my change in schedule and workouts have altered my lifestyle a bit.

Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I know I did, but I must say the holidays were a little more difficult to get through then I originally thought. Although, I believe keeping up with my workouts at least 3 times a week have helped me to keep on track. Over the last 2 weeks of enjoying an abundance of food and wine I was a little worried about my weight loss, [...] More...
Week 5 was not the best week. I’d classify this week as my first “struggle” week, because I didn’t lose any weight. On the bright side, I did maintain my 8 lbs. weight loss from Week 4.
