End of week 2! Can you believe it? I truly hope that you had a great week and that you were able to see changes from the first week in the challenge. My second week was completely different from the first! I changed a lot of things, starting with my mentality. On Sunday, I took…
Woo Hoo!! We’ve reached the end of week 1! I hope this was a great first week for you and no matter the outcome, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to reflect on the past 7 days. For me, Week 1 of the 7 week challenge was just that, a challenge. What I haven’t…

Yesterday I read online that a blogger had passed away last week unexpectedly, the day after her 30th birthday. I was so sad to hear that Lorrie had passed away. So young and so determined to live a healthier life. My prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time! Lorrie’s passing really…
At the end of a long week I think it’s important to look around and smell the roses. I want to make more of an effort to share “what’s got me smiling” just as much as I share some of the challenges I may be facing. This was a tough week but I still have…
A big part of losing weight is being able to pick yourself up when you trip or fall. My first two weeks using My Fitness Pal and Body Media went very well but this week was all over the place. Saturday, March 2 (does not include football practice) Sunday, March 3 Monday, March 4 Tuesday,…
Getting myself into a weight loss midset was difficult after the holidays, but the steps I have taken since then have really gotten me into the zone! Step 1 – Be real with where I’m at Step 2 – Find my motivation Step 3 – Establish weight loss goals Step 4 – Acknowledge what has…
My first step in arriving at a place where I can lose weight is to be honest about where I am at. My sister often encourages me to stop thinking about the weight I’ve lost in the past (or have gained) and instead to focus on the here and now. I have to start viewing…
It’s no secret, at least not to me, that my husband has a man crush on Bobby Flay. This love affair has resulted in us watching all of his shows and me following him on twitter and instagram. This past week I began to see a lot of #BobbyFlayFit hashtags, which instantly opened up a…
As I shared yesterday, it has been a difficult transition back from the holidays and back into dieting. I truly appreciate all of the support and for all that y’all shared yesterday in the comments! What an amazing support system. Though it can come across as me being hard on myself I’m really just being…
Buh Humbug! That’s how I felt this morning when I stepped on the scale. Was I blindsided by my weigh in? No, but it still hurts to see the number on the scale go up from last week. Starting Weight: 234.6 lbs Last Weigh-in: 222.4 lbs This Weigh-in: 224.6 lbs Difference: +2.2 lbs Total Weight…
As I stood in my kitchen last night trying to figure out what to do with boneless skinless chicken breast a few things ran through my brain. I wanted it to be low fat, moist, and filling. And then it hit me! Southwestern Baked Chicken Breast! To start, I combined bread crumbs with McCormick’s Perfect…
I am a pretty happy lady today!! After 3 weeks of weight gain, I was thrilled to step on the scale and see a loss today. This week I really focused on the things that have kept me at my current weight, specifically eating too much cheese, not eating enough vegetables, and the need to…
Yesterday morning I woke up with a horrible cold. I’m always amazed how much can happen to your body over night. I mean, how do you go to bed feeling ok and wake up with a sore throat, stuffed nose, and cough? After shedding a few tears and coming to the realization that I needed…
As I look back over the past 5 weeks of Weight Watchers it’s important for me to look not only at my weight loss but also at how I have grown as a person. Each week has been so different so far. One week I’ll feel great about the foods I am choosing and the…
