Well, here's the deal. I haven't blogged in a few weeks and I want you to know why. As of last week Thursday, my husband and I found out that we are going to be having a new addition to our family. That's right, you read it correctly, I am pregnant.

I have been feeling very sick lately and very very tired but it's ok. The baby is due sometime in February or March, so my husband and I will be preparing for this, including moving to a different house.

Now I am extremely excited, however, this does mean that instead of losing a bunch of weight by December now, I will be gaining. I will still continue to blog here and keep you updated on my progress, but I won't be continuing Lose For The Fuse until after the baby is born. If you are supporting me you will be getting something in the mail very soon.:)

Again, thank you so much for your support! I will continue doing this after the baby is born, so don't count me out! Check it out next week for an update.:)

Hey there everyone! I was gone at a staff retreat last week, so I apologize that I didn't blog. But I have good news! I have lost 2 pounds over the past two weeks. I thought over the 4th of July I would for sure gain weight (just because it's a holiday) but I didn't and I'm totally stoked about it!

Not to mention all the extra work at the station has been keeping me exceedingly busy. I have no time to do anything other than work, eat and sleep. Which has been good for lose for the fuse, but not so good for my social life. :)

Yeah, now that things are getting more on track, so will my blogging and everything else. So that's wonderful news. Thank you so much for keeping up with everything and for your continued support. I seriously appreciate it!!! God bless.

Alright, here's the deal with what's been going on lately. I haven't blogged in forever, I'm totally sorry about that. I have been away on tour and so on. Anyway, not a good excuse I know...I'm just letting you know what's going on lately.

All last week and the week prior to that I was on tour with our band (the John Denley band) in South Dakota. We played some shows in Rapid City, Black Hawk and a really sweek camp out there. It was an amazing time. God moved in so many ways. But not only was it an amazing time with the Lord, I did amazing with my eating and keeping active. I lost actually a lot of weight while I was out there, but then coming back into the swing of things here again I gained a few pounds, however, I am still down one! yay!

I need to work more on being active. I've been working more hours at work lately so it has been difficult to convince myself to workout...but it needs to be done.

So the workout thing and drinking enough water are my goals for this week. My water intake hasn't been good lately, so I'm going to get back on track with that.

Thanks for your support and encouragement. Even if you don't have the funds to support me that way, please pray for me. :) See ya next week.

Alright, well, it's been a little bit since I've blogged. But, I've lost two pounds since the last time I've talked to you. I'm so excited that I've hit the 20lb mark.

These past few weeks have been crazy. I feel like I am working on things nonstop. Between the station remodel and the tour our band is going on, I haven't had much rest time. But all the same, life has been great. And I can tell you for a fact, that since I've been eating healthier and going out of my way to do more, I have felt way better.

Again, thank you for all of your support! See you next week.

Well, I am happy to say that I am another pound down. That makes me 18 pounds down, which to me, is practically 20. It really helps that my brother and sister are both health freaks right now, then when I go to my cottage (like this past weekend) I don't have problems with eating healthy.

Another thing that has been really nice is all this remodeling going on at the station. In fact, that is why I forgot to blog last week...we remodeled here all that weekend and even into that week. Anyway, I have been working like crazy, painting and, well...mostly painting. Which is really nice because I love to paint. So, I have been getting my share of exercise this week.

This week will be another work week, so I shouldn't have a problem with the exercise. I have been finding lately, however, is that when I work more at the station, I tend to eat less because I totally forget and lose track of time. That's not good because I don't want my metabolism to slow down when I forget to eat, so that will be my goal for this week.

Like always, thank you so much for your support! Look forward to seeing you back here next week!

Well, this week has been great. I have been keeping heavy track of what I eat on sparkpeople.com (if you haven't checked out that website, and you are trying to lose weight, I highly recommend it...it has changed my life). It takes dedication, but it is well worth it. I count out my chips if I eat them and measure everything so I can keep track. I don't know about you, but I have to measure things out, at least for now, because my eyes disagree with me as to what a normal portion of food looks like.

So yes, this week has been good and hard. Josh and I have been walking/working out everyday (including the weekend) and there were a couple times there were opportunities for me to eat pizza and I didn't. This first time was supper hard, but then when I didn't eat any I was proud of myself so then when the second time came it was a bit easier.

Also, again, like I say every week, none of this would be possible without the support of my wonderful husband, my family, Scott and you! When you read my blogs and even let me know that you are supporting me in your prayers and thoughts, it is unbelievably encouraging. Thank you so much for helping me over the hump of discouragement!!!!!!

This week has been wonderful! My birthday was on Saturday, so I thought "uh oh", because we all know that birthday's mean bad eating. But, I'm excited to say that I have been doing amazing this week. I lost two pounds this week!!!!

Josh and I went for a walk everyday this week. Not only that, but I have been keeping serious track of what I eat and staying within my range. I did allow myself a birthday dinner and dessert, but earlier that day I did super well.

I tell you what, if you are trying to lose weight like I am and don't have enough money for a gym or a ton of healthy food, utilize sparkpeople.com. It is one of the best websites I have ever seen. It has helped me get my eating under control, keep track of all my calories and keep track of how much I'm working out and how many calories I'm burning. Also, if you have that one or two people that encourage you all the way through and stick by you through thick and thin (no pun intended) that is priceless. My husband and my sister have been that for me and I tell you what, I don't know where I would be without them.

Also, if I can tell you anything...keep track of what you are eating. Limit your portions and your calorie intake. Those are both soooo important.

Please come back next week to see how I'm doing!!! Thanks for your support.

This week was great news. I lost a pound and a half in a week. This has been the best I've seen in a long time now and I think the weather has a lot to do with it.

I have been getting outside everyday and it's been great. I love being outside, and I'm totally excited because I get to start mowing the station's lawn soon and I have some yard work I need to get done this week. Our crazy little dog Molly learned what the word 'walk' means and now every time she hears it she goes crazy...which is nice because she won't stop whining until she goes for her walk. So that is great motivation. Plus, I don't know if you feel like this, but the nicer weather makes it easier to eat healthy.

Anyway, I'm excited and still going. I am now realizing that winter was a bit of a rough time to start Lose For The Fuse, but I think that it made me stronger and now this summer I will be able to work harder. Thanks for all of your support!!

See you next week.

Hello there again. I just have to say that I'm sorry for not blogging last Monday, I totally forgot in the midst of FunDrive. That is the fundraiser we have here at the station and that week is totally crazy! That being said, here is my update this week.

I gained a pound after FunDrive. Boo! But, I think I did pretty well considering I didn't eat the sweets. I think the part that killed the diet was the portions. I tell you what, if there is anything that kills my new way of healthiness, is my portions are still way too big.

But there is a glimmer of light here. During the FunDrive this week, I met a very nice lady named Christine Wiggins. She gave me an awesome chart thing to count calories per meal so I can limit my portions. I am so excited about this, plus on top of the Hip Hop Abs and the walking and stuff, I should be able to get my eating under control.

I was doing soooo good when I first started Lose for the Fuse, but since I was sick for a week, it really wasn't good for my discipline, so now I am ready to kick it in the bud and do this. Please check out the blog next week to see how I did!!!!

Well, another week has gone by. Last week was a discouraging one. Not because I didn't lose any weight, I did. But because I feel like I've fallen off the wagon as far as energy goes. Last week I was sick all week with the stuffy nose and headaches. So this was my week, I woke up at 4 a.m. went to work, came home and took a nap, was awake for a hour and then would go to bed. I would do the same thing day after day last week.

Anyway, I'm feeling a lot better this week than last. I know a lot of my loss of energy is in part due to the fact that I've been really stressed out lately. I know that stress can keep a body from losing weight and that in turn would make me more stressed. Sometimes I feel like, because everyone is watching, when I stay the same or go up a pound I let a lot of people down. But that's not it at all and I see that now.

I'm back on the wagon now, and I know I can't do this on my strength alone. That is why I keep this blog. Because you help me and keep me going. Thank you so much for coming along side with me and supporting me. I highly encourage you, if you are reading this and not supporting me, check out my first blog and see what this is all about and why in the world I would dare to put my weight on the internet.

God bless you and make sure you check out my blog next week along with Dice and the Fuse Losers.

Here is the latest for me. I lost about a half of a pound this week. I was almost for sure that I would gain after Easter, but I did really good on Easter. I didn't really have any candy or dessert or anything.

My husband and I went to his parent's house for Easter. It was a lot of fun. His mom gave us an Easter basket (just one for the both of us now since we're married), and she gave me my favorite candy ever. Well, after church we all went over to his Grandma's and I left my candy at his parent's house, so I didn't eat any all day. Yay!

I did however lack a little on the exercise this week because Josh and I have been sick all this week and pretty much only went from work to bed. But this week I'm feeling much better and ready to get back to my Hip Hop Abs. Speaking of, I've had a lot of people ask me about Hip Hop Abs, if it's too hard or if you need to be flexible to be able to do it successfully. I would say that no, you don't need to be in shape or flexible. The DVDs walk you through everything and it's easy to learn.

Thank you so much for your support!! See you next week.

Hello there everyone! Finally a week that is exciting to tell you. So I am finally on the down as far as poundage goes. I think I've come across something that works.

Since I wake up at 4:00 a.m. I eat breakfast around 6ish, and apple at 9ish and then lunch around noon. I take vitamines and exercise daily and I also do cardio three days a week with muscle work two days a week between the cardio days.

Now, because I go to be early in the evenings, I don't eat anything past 4:00 p.m., that way, my body has time to burn the food I've eaten during the day before I go to bed.

Again, this wouldn't be anything without all of your encouragement and support. If you have been following my or Dice's blogs, please consider supporting us. Like you, we love the station and will do what we can to keep it going. God bless you all!

See you next week.

Well, it is another week gone by. I have to say, I'm getting frustrated that the scale is not reflecting how hard I'm working. I've started eating better, working out and drinking heavy duty amounts of water daily.

I know in the past when I've tried to lose weight, this is the point I would give up. I would throw in the towel and go back to my old life of laziness and binge eating. But, after a lot of prayer and encouragement from Scott and my wonderful husband, I am going to keep truckin.

For this week, I've decided to modify my routine further. My portions are going to be even smaller. I cut my portions when I started this, but I don't think I cut them enough. So, I will be cutting them smaller. Also, I am going to weigh myself every day. I read in a magazine (and had someone tell me) that you can lose twice the weight if you weigh yourself every day. That way you can keep track of your progress throughout the week. So, I'm going to give it a shot.

I love the Fuse and I really want to be heathy...time to do what Rocky did, and pull myself up off the ground!!!!

See you next week.

Well, I'm at a stand still this week with my weight. I have to admit, I'm very excited about the fact that I haven't gained any weight. Someone brought chocolate into our house this week (I won't tell you who, but it wasn't me or Josh), and...well...let's just say that once I tasted even a little, there was a horrible downward spiral into notgoodville.

I weighed myself earlier this week to see how I was doing and I was up to 303!!!! That was horrible! So when I weighed in this Friday morning, I was so relieved to see that I hadn't gained any weight, and that I'd actually lost all the weight I had gained.

So, I'm on a really good roll right now. I've substitued almost all the meals I love with healthier ones so the healthy eating isn't so hard on my body. I'm really excited for next week because Josh and I went grocerie shopping yesterday and planned all the meals out. So, I'm sure the eating will be great this next week. Also, Josh and I aren't going anywhere this weekend, so we don't have to worry about eating out.

So anyway, I'm stoked about what this next week has in store for me and my weight loss venture. Oh, I'm thinking about trying out for the biggest loser, but I need a partner. I don't know anyone that could do it, so, if you want to do The Biggest Loser with me, let me know asap so I could put together a video for the application. We'll see how that goes, I just thought it would be fun.

See you next week.

Well, I must say, that I wish women lost weight as easily as men do. I went up two pounds this week. I am pretty sure that it's all muscle weight because I've been working hard like crazy.

Here's the deal. I went up two pounds, but I've lost a total of 15 inches so far. Now, I'm not complaining about that, but it is pretty frustrating stepping on the scale after a hard week of eating right and working out, and seeing that the weight went up.

I called my sister, because, well, we all know she's my little health guru. She said that it could be any number of things. As women, our weight can fluctuate during "that time of month", rather or not we have eaten meat (because it takes two days to digest), stress and keeping a possitive attitude. It's proven that people who have a really good attitude while losing weight, not only lose more weight, but they are over all healthier.

So, due to all that, and thanks to my sister's and your encouragement, I'm going to keep a possitive attitude about this. I'm also going to keep going and plow through my frustration. I've let it get me down in the past...but no more I say!:) It's time to get healthy and keep losing for the Fuse!

Thanks again for your support and I will see you next week. God bless.

Well, I'm totally excited to announce that I lost 2lbs this week. Which, is good to see after last week. I just have to take a minute and thank all of you that read this blog, that are praying for me and that encourage me daily. You mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without you.

Now, last week, I gained a pound and was not a very happy camper about it. I understand that women especially have fluctuations in weight so I'm taking it all in stride. However, on Saturday of last week, I did my follow-up measurements for Hip Hop Abs and get this, I lost 2 inches in each of my thighs and 1 inch in both my waist and hips. That is awesome!

So, I am very happy with my progress thus far and look forward to kicking my butt next week with Hip Hop Abs. Lets come together and rock this out for the Fuse!

So, I have to say, I knew there would be some fluctuation in my weight when I started working out, but I honestly didn't think I would gain weight. Well, I gained 1.6 pounds this week...I'm thinking it has to be muscle.

I have been eating amazingly...because this is my first week of Hip Hop Abs, I went hard core to get rid of stored fat. I worked out every day, let me tell ya, Shaun T keeps me workin' it. I haven't been eating 3 hours prior to bedtime and I've been drinking at least a gallon of water a day. This is the best I've ever done on a diet, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

Now of of the things that I will be doing here with Hip Hop Abs is measuring myself. I'm supposed to measure myself tomorrow after my 6th day of Hip Hop Abs. So, due to that, I will have a very special measured update for you tomorrow, so make sure you check this out tomorrow to see the loss of inches. I'm really excited because I know I've lost inches...so this will be fun.

Thanks for your prayers and support, I'll see you tomorrow!

I am so excited! I did my weigh in this morning and I lost 4lbs! I couldn't believe it. I did really well in my five goals from last week. I drank a ton of water along with exercising and eating more fruits and veggies.

I also received my Hip Hop Abs in the mail yesterday and am totally stoked to start my fitness plan that they have for me on Monday. It looks like it is going to be a lot of hard work, but I am sooo excited.

Now, the main reason I am doing this, other than to be healthy, is to raise money for the Fuse. I am really passionate about what the Fuse is doing in our community and I figured that this was the best way I could raise money. Please come along side with me and help support this ministry.

Check this out next week to see the progress after some Hip Hop Abs!

Well, here's what it comes down to. I did really well with my eating this week, so I must admit, when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I was a pound up, I was a little disappointed. But then I realized there is still a lot that can be changed.

My eating went very well this week. I ate small portions, good food and I didn't cheat even one time. I think because I did so well my very first week, I expected that to last for a while. The good thing here, is that I'm still on track with my weight loss...averaging about 2lbs a week so far. Here are my new goals for this next upcoming week:

1) NO EATING LUNCH BEFORE NAPS: Because I get up so early for the Morning Show, sometimes I take naps in the afternoon. Eating lunch before them is not a good idea because then I'm just sleeping on a full stomach. Now before naps I am going to eat a piece of fruit and drink water, then have lunch when I wake up.

2) DRINK MORE WATER: This one is huge. I do drink a lot of water during the day, but not enough. This week I am going to try to drink at least 1 gallon (128 oz) of water a day.

3) EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGGIES: I have been eating a lot of salads lately, but this past week I haven't eaten much fruit. For some reason, it never comes to mind to eat, so I am going to force it into my eating habits, along with more veggies.

4)RELIEVE STRESS: I have been pretty stressed lately...not gonna lie. With the recent passing of my cousin and other things going on around me, I have not been doing a very good job of keeping my stress level down. But this week I will be making daily goals and using some stress relief techniques such as stretching in the morning, take deep breaths when I start to wonder, focus on the positive and keep Jesus the center of everything I do.

5) EXERCISE: Last, but not least by any means. I did a very little bit this past week, but nowhere near enough. I am waiting my my Hip Hop Abs videos. I am way excited to learn to dance by the way. However, I haven't been exercising while I'm waiting for them to come. So this week, I will be exercising with crunches, jumping jacks and more frequent walking while I'm waiting for my videos to get here.

Now, I do realize that when people start diets, the weight does fluctuate a lot, so I'm excited to see what this week brings.

See you next week!

Well, I'm happy to announce that I have lost a pound this week, despite all the not goodness of this past week. Being a girl, I really struggle with eating for comfort and when I'm bored. I haven't been bored lately, however, this week was a rough week for comfort eating.

My cousin passed away last Sunday. A pretty unexpected death and really shocked my family. He was only 33 so it was heart-breaking. But, along with sadness came the comfort eating. Now that I know how to curb it, it will make it easier in the future to deal with.

Now after all that, I am ready to kick some butt. I have another mission in mind now. Along with raising money for the station, I am even more determined to get healthy in honor of my cousin. You just wait, my next weigh in will be sweet. I'm really excited and I'm finding it easy to keep myself motivated. Let's rock and roll this mamma-jamma!

This week has been a fun start. It was really encouraging to step on the scale on Friday and see that I've lost 6lbs! Some would contest I cheated because I got the flu, but that didn't help that much. What did help was the fact that I started to eat better, more meals and started drinking more water.

I eat something warm for breakfast, like oatmeal, with an apple and then another apple around 10. I have been eating soup, salads or a sandwich for lunch around noon. I have been making sure to include salads and veggies because those are great for you. I will usually have a small snack like a piece of fruit around 3 or 4ish. Then for dinner I will have a well portioned meal with a good ration of veggies. One thing I keep in mind is STAY AWAY FROM SUGARY SWEETS!

One thing that has helped a lot is a cook book that my wonderful mom gave me for Christmas. It's called Deceptively Delicious. It's a totally sweet because it shows you how to put healthy foods like spinach in everyday foods, without being able to taste it. Let me tell ya, it's a great book.

We shall see how this next week goes, I'm starting to add exercise to the mix. I'm way excited...I feel like I'm doing the whole Rocky on the stairs thing when I step on the scale. I plan on coming out like a champ.

See ya next week!!

The Beginning is Here!

Welcome to Lose for the Fuse Female Edition. Dice has inspired me to put my own weight on the line and get healthy. And what better way to do that than with all of your support, while supporting the Fuse.

Like Dice, I will be checking in weekly with all the updated totals of the weight I've lost and the people that are coming along side to support me. Like him, I am looking to raise around $10,000 for the Fuse by the time this is done, with means I hope to eventually raise around $100 per pound total. But, it all starts with your dollar per pound or more. It is time I take my extra weight and use it for something good.

I've struggled with losing weight my whole life, and I have officially decided that it's time to grab it by the horns and lose it for good. After Dice started Lose For The Fuse, it really inspired me. Make sure you check in every Friday to get the weekly update.

So begins my adventure to get healthy and help support 101.7 The Fuse.
