Where did my life go?
I’m grumpy. Fair warning. If you hate reading rants you are dismissed. See you next time. Exercise has been difficult this week. Monday was a typical Monday, meaning, exercise would be a bummer on any Monday. Then on Tuesday I had a doctor appointment. Got there to find out that I’d left home most of [...]
3 MILES, BABY!
Wow, today was the first time I’ve EVER walked the 3 MILE WALK with Leslie Sansone. It was so difficult and I’m SO sweaty right now. I cannot believe I did it! I’m so happy! Now, back to earth, I’m not gonna do that every day just yet. However, I’m supremely pumped, I know I [...]
So much more than walking…
What a crappy week I had. Sorry, but crappy is the word for it. We’re buying a house. We’re trying to get it financed. The lender backed out of the deal just days before we were due to close. So I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to find us a new lender [...]
The Bad Voices
I have found out a secret. If I distract myself during exercise I don’t have time to listen to the bad voices in my head. Don’t leave, I’m not crazy. It’s that thing we all do during difficult situations, you know, thinking things like this… “Oh, this is so hard, I should take it easier [...]

Last week I doubled my exercise routine. I went from doing the 1 mile walk every other day (3 days/wk) to doing it every day, 6 days a week That was not a huge adjustment, telling me I can push myself harder. So today I figured I’d double it again, by doing the 2 mile walk every [...]
Off and running, er, walking.
I don’t have a clear plan or framework on which to build this blog. I just decided this morning, while I was exercising, to start a blog about losing weight and getting back into shape. It’s been a long road to get to where I am right now. I started really putting weight on when [...]
Teresa is out, Leslie is in, and Shannon is da Bomb!
I tried, Teresa, I really did. But you kept on trying to kill me. I had to put you away, for now. When I am more fit I’ll get you out again and give you another opportunity to help me. For now I’m gonna let Leslie help me. She’s a kinder, gentler fitness trainer. I [...]
This is not good!
The kids were in the library folding laundry, I was in the boys room folding laundry, Blaze was napping on a cushion in the family room and Maggie was enjoying fresh air and sunshine outside on the tie out. Or so we thought! Caleb says to me, “Ma, Maggie isn’t on the tie out.” <insert [...]
Fit as a Farmhand 2-2-10
This post is linked to Works for me Wednesday and Things I Love Thursday because this diet works! I have never been so excited to get on the scale as I am these days. Now I can’t wait for Monday mornings to roll around. Atkins diet is kinda difficult since I am only supposed to [...]
