I won’t quit but I’ll cuss the whole time

I work in a fairly large office. It is pretty busy too. Often times, people bring in sweets as a thank you gift. Personally, I think this is a sick and twisted way of saying thank you- here, elevate your blood sugar on us! I find this abundace of sweets quite challenging because I have […]

Heard this new song on the radio called “Fear is a Liar” by Zach Williams. Very powerful. It went right to my heart, gave me chills, and made me cry. It made me realize how much of my life I’ve lived in fear. Afraid of not being good enough or smart enough or pretty enough. […]

This week was fairly normal. Normal for me anyways. Fairly healthy choices for food and I went to the gym three times! I even managed to resist donuts and other assorted sweets in the office. Yet I was still surprised to lose weight. After making all the healthy choices and doing the exercise, I’m still […]

On Wednesday, I got off work a bit early and was able to come to an earlier gym class. As it ended up, I had a private session with Coach Mike. This was not a good idea. Today we worked on the snatch, a weight lifting move that is quite challenging for me.  Ok, it’s […]

I wrote this after I hit my six month anniversary of doing Crossfit on January 20, 2017. This was huge for John and I as we had tried many fitness programs and diets, but we never stuck with anything. Ever. But we stuck with this one. Enjoy. Now is the time when people are starting, […]

I will be doing weekly weigh ins on Saturday morning and I will post them here. This week’s update is surprising to me. Suprising is not a strong enough word. Shocking, astounding, amazing. Those work. It was a week of challenges. Yes, they may have been self inflicted by the choices I made, but so […]

I need to lose weight. I am, by medical definition, morbidly obese. By my definition, I am fat. Being fat is hard. It causes a shit ton of health problems. It impacts my asthma, causes high blood pressure, and makes my joints ache sometimes. Also, I am limited on wardrobe selection to only the big […]

Ugh. That was my first thought this morning. Recap: had too many carbs last night. And oh man am I feeling it today. I thought I was going to puke last night, which would have probably made me feel better. But I didn’t, which I am okay with as I hate to puke. It took […]

Tonight, the hubby and I went out to dinner. I was craving a burger. We had a gift card for a place called Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers. Off we went. There, it was pretty easy to make low carb choices. You could order a buger without a bun, get a salad instead of chips as […]

I talk about going to gym. A lot. Because it has had a huge positive impact on my life, I feel better and stronger than I ever have before, and I want to share this experience with others. However, when I talk about going to gym, people ask what kind of exercise I do. Of […]
