Moving is a lot of hard work. Moving is exhausting. Moving sucks. Royally. I haven't gyrated, groaned, or sweat along with any of my exercise DVDs in weeks now. Instead I've been packing, cleaning, and preparing for the big move. I don't need no stinkin' exercise DVD at this point! I'm still maintaining my weight at 180 lbs some days I'm a little less even. I feel good just exhausted from

Part Two of this whole Mandi Makeover deal has officially been underway for 1 week and 1 day. I've decided to weigh myself every Monday and record it via that cute little fishy swimming through bubbles over there on the top right side of the blog. If you click on him you'll be able to see my progress chart. Like I said, I've been at this a week now and I'm already down 5 lbs. I feel great!

I suck. I guess that just proves that I am human...right? So my weight is back up to where I started from and I'm feeling like crap again. I guess the time feels right to start all over again. First things first, a fresh look for the ol' blog. That should happen sometime today or tomorrow. Nothing major, I'm thinking of going to a white background, something that looks clean and fresh.

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm down another 5 lbs. I haven't been walking as much as I did in the beginning mainly because it's been too hot (to stuff my face or walk) or I've had more pressing matters to attend to. The weather is starting to break now, and Mom is back on the mend so hopefully I'll start walking again. I don't really know why I started this blog now. I don't really

I'm going to call it official...I have lost 5 lbs. Actually it, and possibly a little more, has been off for a while now. I just didn't want to count it "officially" until I was somewhat certain that it couldn't sneak up on me out of nowhere and return! I'm feeling great and that..is..awesome.

Is it possible to start out on a plateau or is my scale just playing tricks on me? I've started eating less and moving more and still ever other day I've lost or gained the same 5 pounds...which reminds me, I need to take some "before" pics. I've been avoiding salt and caffeine like the plague although I've never had a problem with either one. I've even started forcing myself to eat one square

Geof and I have been walking every evening after supper. We go to our local park and walk the trail. I'm not really sure how long the trail is exactly but it winds around in a long oval shape. It runs along a river and is nice and well maintained. My best guess would put one lap at maybe a little over a mile. The other day I was feeling extra energetic and fit and decided that a nice little

I've decided to get into shape...well, any other shape besides round. Certain health concerns have come to light recently that have really helped to get my ass in gear. While I was out on the road with my husband Nathaniel, I had my blood pressure taken by one of those machines you usually see by the pharmacy in many chain stores. The machine said my blood pressure was 150/88 and according to
