I’m joining in on Steppin’ Out Saturday (even though I’m posting on Sunday!) over at Harper’s Happenings this weekend. The whole family headed out to the mall on Saturday afternoon (AFTER I ran a 5K – in 29:55!!! and took the boys to B’s soccer game!) and then to an early dinner. It was especially…
Let’s Be Healthy, NOT Hateful.
Do you remember when you first started REALLY looking in the mirror? At your body? Not just your face. I don’t. But I always remember NOT being very happy when I did. Until recently. I’m pretty happy with my size 10-ish, 151.4 lb. (as of this very morning) body. I’ve had three babies. I’ve worked…
I’ve Done VERY Little to Support the Sugar Industry These Last Three Months and Zumba is My New Best Friend
When I was a little girl I was pretty chunky. I always had to have the biggest soccer shorts and sometimes even those didn’t fit me. But I still wore them. Ugh. I was the ‘biggest’ girl in dance class (not the tallest, but widest) and I was teased a lot. One time while riding…
South Beach Before the Beach
If you follow me on twitter or even good ole FB, you know I’ve started the South Beach diet, as of Monday. And I’m here to tell you, the first couple of days are HARD. I could have INHALED the entire container of strawberries when I was packing some for The B Man’s lunch on…
Weighty Issues
It’s a capped sleeve that no longer fits your arm… It’s a picture of yourself that you don’t want to see… It’s a number on the scale that makes you cry… Last night I cried myself to sleep because I feel SO ungodly fat right now. I know I’m not THAT big, but I’m big…
Spillage
I’ve been doing a lot of quick posts lately. Sometimes it’s hard to sit down and write. Especially when I’m tired a lot. And even a tad depressed. My life is good. I have everything I need or want. Except. My ideal body. I try not to get too wrapped up in it all. I…
Weekly Weigh In – Week 5
I’m becoming a broken record around here. My weight DID NOT change. Again. I’m not even going to post the number because, me personally, I’m tired of looking at it and you probably are too. Again, I did not GAIN weight but AGAIN, I did not lose. My theory is that I’m still taking in…
Weekly Weigh In – Week 4
Well, I stayed the same this week – still at 173.6 And you know, I’m okay with it for a few reasons: 1) I didn’t GAIN weight2) I stopped pumping last week so “the girls” kinda feel like boulders right now.3) I didn’t eat that well last week so… I call it a wash. I…
Weekly Weigh In – Week 3
So, this week, not so good. I feel stuck. I keep fluctuating between the same 2-4 lbs. Up and down, back and forth and guess what!? This week – back up 1.2 lbs. I could say a really bad word right now but I don’t have that kind of blog. ; ) Anyway, I teared…
On My Body and Soreness and Age, etc, etc, etc
WARNING: This post might be a little rambly. (as if you couldn’t tell from the title…) So, as we know, I’ve started working out again. And it’s going pretty well. Except. My body doesn’t seem to like it as much as it used to. In the last two weeks I’ve had SEVERE soreness in my…
