Blogging on the backburner

I love to write - so why don't I do it more often?  I need to explore this . . .

I've been doing pretty well over the past few months - I haven't lost a whole lot of weight, but I am starting to feel better and I'm consistently getting exercise every week.  :-)  I'm thinking of adding a couple of more people to this blog - so that we can all discuss our weight loss strategies, etc.

That Jennifer girl is still out there somewhere - working her butt off from what I hear!!

Have a great day!!

KLove Radio has been doing a month long devotional based on Lysa Terkeurst.  They are so good - I wanted to provide the list of links here - along with a link to purchase her book.  As I'm on this journey of learning to cease worshiping food - this devotional has been awesome.

Personal Training

My BFF and I have been doing personal training on Fridays and we just survived another "brutal" session.  My arms are shaky - but I always feel SO GOOD when we're done!!!

I'm also trying a very strict eating plan over the next 9 days - so your prayers are appreciated.

I wonder how that Jen girl is doing . . . oh Jen?!?!?!?!  ;-)

Weekend Warrior

I'm doing well - tracking my food every day and getting in some activity every day as well.  I was pretty sore this weekend from my first real personal training session.  (Wanna know more about my awesome trainer?  Check out her website:  Tone Temples.)

But I have learned that I can do pretty well during the week - because it is a routine.  But once the weekend hits - I tend to relax . . . and want to just eat everything in sight.  It's okay . . . it's the weekend, right?  WRONG.  Not when you might just eat enough to destroy all the hard work you put in throughout the week!!

I found this great article regarding weekend strategies.  Check it out here.  So - my goal for this week is to PLAN FOR MY WEEKEND!!

I do have to say, though - that I have had a LOT more energy this week.  I don't want to just go home and take a nap.  I spent most of the weekend CLEANING, ORGANIZING and PURGING.  (For those who know me - this is NOT normal.)  I'm excited to keep doing it!!

How are YOU doing on your journey to healthiness?

Yep - I am a changin'

2010 was a crazy year.  Full of a lot of emotional times, and a lot of emotional eating.  But now - I am 35 years old and I'm not messing around anymore.  I've had some scary health issues - and I don't want anymore.

I have a group of good people supporting me and I am changing my life.

More to come!
