I just want to take a moment and pat myself on the back, an E-high 5, a happy dance…. Kevin, Alicia and I went to our 60 minute spin class last night. There was a sub teacher and he only went 45 minutes – not the full hour. When he started cooling down at … Continue reading
Exhaustion
It’s exhausting, this weekly game I play. Mon-Fri perfectly on plan. I do SO good. Sat-Sun I fall apart. My eating is better, but I drink. I’m social, I love bourbon and my friends are drinkers, too. This weekend may have been a touch better because I kept my eating under control, but still – … Continue reading
Oh hai Weight Watchers
Back on WW and I’m a happy woman. I forgot how easy WW is and how good I feel on it. I stopped in attempt to save money 2 years ago and thought I’d just “calorie count” on my own. Yeah – fail – didn’t work. I just stopped losing weight. Well, I lost 6.6 … Continue reading
Yahtzee!
I’ll admit it, I lost all motivation throughout the Holidays. I blame most of this on bourbon and a lack of exercise and baking – oh the baking… I mean seriously – I made that. I’m not a huge sweets person, but I taste as I cook and ffs – it adds up. That was … Continue reading
The Little Things…
I have a part of me that I call my “fat pack” it is where I am 100% the most insecure in my appearance. My lower ab, my pooch, my fat pack, my front butt, my arch nemesis. It’s the first thing I see in the mirror and the last thing I want anyone else to … Continue reading
Put The Fork Down
Oh Thanksgiving – what have you done to me? You’ve left me a bloated, hungover, over fed, and a full full mess. Kevin and I took the week off of work and had a “staycation” that involved copious drinking and eating. It was delightful. I cook. I cook well. I cook healthy well and I cook … Continue reading
The Hashing Hulk
Have any of you heard of this glorious thing called hashing? Apparently it’s when you do races/run and incorporate drinking. On Saturday I partook in my first run that involved alcohol: the Atlanta Tap N Run. I ran, mostly walked and occasionally jogged this race with my husband and my best friend and we had a blast. There were … Continue reading
Life Lessons
After a weekend of eating and drinking and drinking and eating the strangest thing happened after not working out for 3 weeks. My body literally said to me, “Hey fatty – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – go to the gym.” And so I went. And I’ve continued to go. Every single day and even twice a … Continue reading
Bla-dow
We ran the Strong Legs Run 10k on Saturday. I beat my last 10k time but it definitely wasn’t impressive. I wasn’t in last place, but wow. I HATE running. Ffs. I walked/jogged/ran it with my mom and bff and the best part was just the time I spent with these two lovely ladies (on … Continue reading
Forgiveness
I follow the boards at 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet, which I fondly refer to as the “fatty forum” and I’ve realized a lot just reading other people’s thoughts and journeys. Quite frankly, it makes me sad. Sad for them. Sad for me. Sad for all of us struggling. People have an unrealistic expectation … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
