Day 33-40: 44-Day Challenge

I've done pretty well with the fruits and veggies. I take walks when I can and I drink my water.

I finally had my medical procedure yesterday and will find out the results in 72 hours.

By that time, the 44-Day Challenge will be over and it will be time for a new one. I like challenges because they keep me motivated and accountable, even when I don't do them strictly to the letter.

And that is why I'm creating a new challenge to start after the 44 Day Challenge is done.

Stay tuned for details!!

Day 30-32: 44-Day Challenge

Today is my doctor's appointment, so I'm hoping to get this yucky stuff behind me and move on.

I've been getting back into the healthy eating, thanks to support from Hunkahubby. We also took a walk around the neighborhood last night and even ran for part of it (our puppy LOVES to run.)

My biggest realization, thanks to Bob Harper's Book is that I need to figure out why I always get in my own way when it comes to succeeding at weight loss.

Over the next few days, I'm going to explore this and share it with you if it isn't too painful.

Tomorrow's Friday! Keep up the good work!!

Day 27-29: 44-Day Challenge

I am still hanging in there. We went away for a couple of days to celebrate our family birthday. I didn't eat healthy, to say the least, but I didn't do as badly as I have in the past.

Today I have already had all of my fruit and all of my vegetables. I'm working on the water and I am walking with my buddy later this evening.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor to start figuring out my "issues" (no comments from the peanut gallery), and I'm back on the road to recovery!!!

Tomorrow is Monday - but let's all do something different. Let's be excited about the start to a NEW week and the adventure that it holds. A new week, a new start, a new chance for a new you!!

Attitude is everything.

Day 26: 44-Day Challenge

As you can see, I updated my blog design in preparation for what needs to be done.

I am worth it, and I am going to do something about it!

I am finally starting to feel a bit better, and I have an appointment next week with a specialist who can hopefully get me all straightened out and back on the road to healthyness. :-)


I have to talk about The Biggest Loser one last time, because I have to get this off of my chest.

Am I the only person who thought that Helen looked AWFUL? I think she starved herself for the last month. Her face looked unnatural.


Both Mike and Tara looked awesome and like they had been doing things the healthy way.

But Helen? Yikes.

I've been frustrated with Helen ever since she selfishly stayed there when everyone knew her daughter needed to stay. Her daughter seemed afraid to ASK to stay, because Helen wanted this so bad. And for very good reason, she ended up winning. But at what cost?

When they asked Helen if she thought she could win and she looked Tara and Mike up and down, and said "I think I have a pretty good chance." I WANTED TO SMACK HER. She looked so smug the whole show, it almost ruined the whole experience for me.



Personally - I don't want to get so skinny that I look like Helen. I want to look and feel healthy. And I want to still be able to be nice to people and not strut around like I'm better than everyone else!


And even though they didn't win, both Mike and Tara look fabulous and won some pretty cool prizes on the show.


But no matter what the results were . . .

Kristin is still my winner. I think she stayed true to herself the entire show and she looks fabulous. I can't wait to see what she does next.

Happy Thursday! Friday's coming!!
