Luna Bars

I just wanted to let you all know that Luna Bars are on sale for $.88 at yokes this week....and it's Fresh Friday so there should be good produce on sale...

I'm so happy!!

I am so happy to see everyone is still in this and losing weight and getting re motivated. I thought everyone had just said forget it during the month of February. I didn't exactly say forget it in February but I didn't reach my goal of 10 pounds. I actually only lost 2.5lbs the whole month. I really have no excuse except I didn't journal like I should. Last week I weighed and I was up 6 pounds which really freaked me out, but this morning I weighed and I'm down to 184.6lbs. I'm down a total of 12lbs. I'm thrilled with the number even though I wanted more, but I can't expect big #'s if I'm not doing to work. We have 2 more months until final weigh-in for the challenge and I'm going to really focus these months.
I ran my first 1/2 marathon on Saturday. It went well most of the way. It was really windy for the last 6 miles, so it felt like at times I was hardly moving the wind was blowing so hard. I felt like I was running with someone pulling be backwards at the same time. I finished and we had a really fun girl's day with my sister-in-law and friends. I'm prepping now for the SLC 1/2 marathon which is 7 weeks away. I can't wait for it because I'm going to be without kids for 4 days. I have not been away from both my girls over night ever, so I'm excited to get a few days to myself but also a little sad to be away from them. Keep up the good work everyone.

Im Starting over!

I dont have a good excuse for stopping but im starting over.....walking is out for a few weeks but my eating habbits have got to change....I guess ill start there....When you all work out do a little extra for me....Thanks!!!!!

I'm back

Yeah, i finally have internet hooked up. Anyway...I went to weight watchers this morning, not expectint to really lose anything, this week has been just really wacky. Anywho, I am down 2.2 lbs. (pat myself of the back) I am down a total of 15 lbs. I really want to lose another 5 this week, but I am not going to kill myself trying. I will try to go for 3 though. Good luck to you all this week. And I am so proud of you Lindsay for sticking it out and starting over and just getting back on track! Don't give up! You'll be so much happier and healthier. Love you guys!

Things are looking up...pounds are shedding!

My neice Kelly took me under her wing. She used to be a personal trainer and now is aprenticing to be a Pilates Instructor. I was going to try South Beach, but she gave me a little more advice. She told me that sometimes South Beach, can be to hard in the beginning that many people get discouraged and set themselves for up for failure. She said, "Not that you are going to fail!" And I totally get what she is saying! I started February 19th, counting calories, and have ruled out all whites (white bread and white sugars), and I ain't missing them. I have lost 8 pounds this week!! Kelly told me to stick to Calories and watch my fat intake, kind of like Weight Watchers, but without the points, and the weight will fall off. I am taking in 1200 Calories a day and not feeling deprived whatsoever. I am home which makes it a lot easier, I can get the hardest part out of the way before I get back to work. I thought 1200 Calories, THATS ALL? She said as soon as I work exercise in I can boost my calorie intake, but I am okay with that for now. I journal all my calories, and have stopped drinking those fatty "drinks", Arah you know what I am talking about!

Thanks for all of you support and I want you to know I will never give up! This means to much to me!

Love,Lindsey

I'm still kicking

Hey Everyone,
In answer to Arah's question. Here I am. I have been wondering the same thing. I'm still going strong. As of today I am down 11.6lbs. Not as great as you Arah, but I'm still keeping up. I am doing my first 1/2 marathon on March 1st, so I'm getting a little nervous. Thoughts like have I prepared enough, will I make it. Anyway, I'm still on the weight loss journey. I hope everyone else is of course.
