Late last week I talked to a friend of mine who is a bodybuilder about my weight loss and the plateau I’ve faced over the past 2 years. My friend challenged me to track my eats through My Fitness Pal for a few days, that way he could look over my calorie, protein, carb, and…
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I think a lot of it has to do with last night’s football practice, which left me with sore muscles and not a whole lot of recovery time between it and the work day. On the other hand though, I think I’m frustrated…
This has been a very emotional week for me in regards to my weight loss. I have been truly frustrated and discouraged with my weight loss. When I returned from vacation last Thursday I felt gross and I knew that I had gain a lot of weight while in Texas. Though I didn’t have a…
Creating new years resolutions can be an incredibly exciting and scary thing all at the same time. You may have something on your list that you’ve always wanted to tackle and want this to be the year, but the bigger question you need to ask yourself is how to keep your resolutions. 1. Take your…
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…
I absolutely adore my sister Alison. Our relationship has grown and changed so much over the years. Being 9 years apart, there were times when I couldn’t always turn to my sister for advice (she was 11 and I was 20) but now as adults, our age gap doesn’t matter. Last night I called my…
Last week was quite an odd week. It started in Iowa, with lots of eating out and lots of relaxing. Turned around mid week with a refocus on Weight Watchers and my workouts. And ended with me being sick and stuck in the house. Not the ideal kind of week. Still, I got an awesome…

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…
Starting in January, I will have football practice two week nights a week from 8PM-10PM. In preparation for these late night workouts, I’ve moved all of my workouts to evenings. Last night I took a new class at Gold’s Gym called Sports Conditioning at 7:45PM. I threw on some of my favorite Reebok gear, including…
Yesterday morning Neal and I headed back to Washington, DC after a 5 day stay in Iowa. We had an absolutely wonderful time visiting Neal’s parents and were lucky to have a snow free trip back. Now that we’re back home, it’s time to get back on track and to detox from all of the…
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…
The next 48 hours are going to be an absolute whirlwind, but before I get into what the future holds let me take a few steps back to talk about the past couple of days. As I shared on Tuesday, I felt like I derailed a bit last weekend. Neal and I had a pretty…
