Since I started the 99 day challenge of no Facebook, I have been able to get a lot more accomplished like........ posting. Today I stepped on the scale and freaked out because it was 198 😮. Then I realized, I started body pump and weights. You know what means.....? It means that as I build more muscle, I will see a jump in the scale. But no worries, I know I will stabilize and those

Today was two hour workout. Cardio for an hour and body pump for an hour. Total body workout and...........I still did half hour of dance blast when I got home! Dinner, Kale and grilled chicken.Yum. Good bye and goodnight.  😆

3D's. Today is day 1 of the challenge. Very tough but worth it in the end. Need a jump start. My motivation is not to be skinny or look good according to what others feel is acceptable. This is for me, my sanity, my health, my life and my son! What is your motivation? What pushes you toward your 3D's? The hardest part of the journey is finding what your REAL motivation is. Once you find that

Sooooooooo.......... What is it about that morning cup of coffee that we just have to have? Is it the caffeine that pushes us to get going? Is it the taste of the strong coffee beans mixed with your favorite cream and sugar? Do we like the many shapes, sizes, flavors and fixings that we can get in a cup-o-joe from Starbucks? Whatever it is, it is not a good way to start the day, get through the

It happens to all of us. Even the most dedicated. The solution? GET UP, GET BACK ON IT! The time you spend stressing and beating yourself up adds pounds and makes it worse because you become de-motivated. I speak from lots of experience. When I steps on the scale and saw the 8lb gain, I didnt freak out. Here's what I did: 1. Looked back to see what I'd been eating 2. Stepped up my work outs 3.

Soooo, now I am on a mission to find a way to jump start my weight loss again. Get out of the rut.

My playlist is ever changing but I can tell you that right now there is a lot of new music spinning on the inner turntables of my Zune. When i work out I usually listen to my Zune but I do like to alternate between Pandora (old faithful) and Hot 97 (the hype NYC station that I get on my Crackberry). Right now I am listening to:Cici - Basic Instinct has some fly up-tempo joints that keep me going

Know yourself, that's the best way to be successful on your own personal weight-loss journey.There has been a lot I have had to learn about myself throughout this journey. It has taken me a while and I am still in the process of learning about ME. I just want to share with you some of the things I went through and experienced at the beginning of my journey that have helped me to remain successful

New Year, new me, new life... This year I resolve to continue putting in the hard-work I put in during 2010. Year-in-review (2010)Last year I lost 91 pounds. I went from a very un-healthy woman that weighed in at 300lbs to my doctor celebrating my clean bill of health with me at 209. No longer do I have to worry about diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and all the other ailments I

Fair weather friends, those that are only friends with you because it serves a purpose for them. These types of friends do exist and are more commonly found than not. Within the past few months I have had the delight *insert sarcasm* to experience this first hand. Losing weight is something important that I did for myself. When I weighed the pros and cons, went through the process of setting up

Everything that I eat centers around protein intake. For example, breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, onions, peppers, garlic and mango chutney.. Sounds yummy (I took a pic for you guys). My snacks almost always have some type of meat like jerky, or a deli meat roll-up with cheese... A couple of days ago I randomly decided to do a no meat, seafood only diet....*insert

For me, I dont want to say before and after, for me it is the "Then and Now" because thats how I think of it. I think of how my life was "Then", and what my life is like "Now."Then": The time (which was most of it) of my life when my weight(and the issues it caused) dominated my life. I lived with health issues (my doc told me I had the insides of a 70 year old), emotional issues and just

Trying t find a workout partner in Nashville is like trying to find a mate. Sheesh, a girlis not looking to tie the knot, I just need someone to workout with!Anyway, I have been hitting the gym for a while.

I know, I know I missed a daily update. Yesterday was crazy at the office and then with school added in the mix life is hectic. Here is my update for the last couple of days. BTW, I can not wait for my two week weigh in on Monday. I have been debating on whether I wanted to do a monthly weigh in or a shorter time frame, so I have settled on every two weeks. I figure that in two weeks I can see

Hey all, I just got back from a lunch time walk and I feel great. I was a little bumbed out that I did not get to walk yesterday, it was the first day of classes and I have to adjust to my new schedule. The walk that I took today more than made up for what I missed yesterday. Anyway, I updated my post from yerstday so that you will know what I ended up eating for dinner. Here are my stats so far

I think that there is a need for me to share with you all how my days progress. I will try my best to post on a daily my menu for the day, the work out choice of the day and any motivational things I stumbles upon that kept me going.

I began this blog as a way for me to chronicle my journey to a healthier lifestyle and also encourage others and kind of develop a community for those that are under-taking this journey as well.There are a lot of things that I have learned about

I have a tendency to get lazy and just sit and veg on the net or channel surf. Today I decided to get up off my hump and do something. So I decided to take a jog (surprising to me) with my son while he rode his bike. Felt great and gave me some motivation to keep moving forward (my mantra). Also, while I was hanging out on the web I came across this website www.gofit.net, they have great workout
