I’m down a pound! I’ll take it. It wasn’t a bad week, but I didn’t work out as much as I should have. It was the last week of school for the big kids, lots of activities going on and they had half days which threw me off a little. The week coming up,…
“Spasta” – Spaghetti squash “pasta”
I made an amazing dinner last night. My kids love pasta, I do too but I’m always looking for replacements to get more bang for my calorie buck. I see so many recipes for spaghetti squash but honestly, I’ve tried making it before and I wasn’t a fan. I think it was the texture. But…
Here’s the Skinny – Week 1
Since I am just starting this weekly weigh in with you, I’ll incorporate it into my blog post so it’s fun for all of us 🙂 I weigh in on Monday’s purposely to not let myself get too carried away on the weekends. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I do believe I’ve truly turned…
Strong Girl Walking
So all last week I had yesterday looming over my head. We buried my mom’s ashes with my dad. I thought it would bring closure but it didn’t, or doesn’t feel like it. I kind of feel like time is the only thing that will help. I had started out the week good, but it…
Good things come to those who wait
I’m just venting, it’s been a hell of a week. I really needed to dig deep. Nothing ever goes as planned (which can be good or bad). I’m solo this week so I’m all thrown off. This was going to be my week to get on a workout schedule, I failed miserably. No hubs, no…
Weighing in
Monday is my weigh in day. Although I feel like I’ve been focused, the scale isn’t showing that. In fact, it’s just the opposite. I’ve been recording everything in my fitness pal but, I need to regroup, take a step back and dive in to kick some ass. Abs aren’t made in the gym; they…
Feel the pain and settle into it
Yesterday I decided to hit the trail with my sidekick. This was my first time with the baby in the jogging stroller. I think she liked it 🙂 It was my first run since my session with Rob on Wednesday and I still hurt! I started off pretty good, but not too far into…
I had a meltdown
People keep saying they love my blog because I’m real. I’m saying exactly what’s happening, being honest and it’s what they have gone through or are going through. I felt pretty badass after my training yesterday…but then, I had a meltdown. We all do. We’re all entitled. It wasn’t pretty. Thank you for the phone/text…
Be Persistent
Be patient. Things worth having, are worth waiting for. Good things come to those who wait. These are things I have to tell myself on an all-day everyday basis. I’ll have a really great day…got a good workout in, ate great, and the scale doesn’t reflect that the next day. Duh, it takes more than…
Fresh is best
Today I hit up Costco and Shoprite to stock my kitchen with healthy stuff. After all, we don’t eat well if it’s not readily available right? I focus on our favorites and add a few extra things into the mix (to try or get reacquainted with). If it’s here, not only will I eat it…
