February 2014 Update

Nothing spectacular to report here.  Just maintaining...barely.  I'm hoping to get a cleanse done in March to kind of reset my digestive system (this is not to loose weight, I'm happy where I am).  When you're as aware as I now am about how you feel when you feel the least bit off it doesn't fee good and a cleanse just kind of resets all that.  We'll see if I can work it in to my schedule!  I've got everything I need I just need to make sure my schedule is clear of any "eating activities".

 

January 2014 Update

Still holding steady a month in to 2014!  Nothing amazing happened in January, I'm trying to get back in to correct eating habits after the holiday's and it's HARD, but slowly I'm getting there.  Life is good, the Olympics are on and I'm busy all the time!

December 2013 Update and 2013 in Review

In general, what a fantastic year!  Yes, it had its ups and downs but overall one of the best years I've ever had.  I lost a total of 16 pounds this year, which doesn't sound impressive compared to the 49.6 I lost in 2012 but there is a reason for that.  I reached my goal weight in May and have been able to stay at or under goal month over month since then (wasn't sure I was going to be able to in December because I felt like I ate my way through the month, but I did!)!  I have no more weight lost goal per se, I would like to hover closer to 5 lbs. under goal instead of 2 lbs. under but I'm not actively striving to get there, I figure if it happens it happens and if not I'll continue to maintain under goal and be happy with that!

I'm so excited to see what 2014 will bring!  My one resolution (pretty much the same resolution year over year), NO BABIES IN 2014.  In all honesty the last 2 months of the year have been such a whirlwind that I haven't had time to come up with goals for the next year except pass my licensing tests (1 down!) and survive until that is over.

2013, you've been awesome!  I couldn't have planned a better year.  2014, I hope you're just as swell.  BRING IT!

November 2013 Update

If it proves how crazy my life is, I haven't even thought about a November update yet and it's the 10th of December!  Well, here you go.  I would call November a success considering that Thanksgiving was 3 days from the end of the month, I ate whatever I wanted, didn't feel bad about it and still stayed under goal.  Our big Christmas party is over for December so if I can just curb my desire to cover everything in chocolate and make every cookie I see a recipie for we should be in good shape!

Hopefully all the studying that I'll be doing with massively cut down on the time I think I have to spend in the kitchen.



On a side note, I have to figure out what the deal with my graphs are.

October 2013 Update

I'm not sure how I managed to loose weight this month, but I did (not really trying, just trying to not go over my goal). Between the fair, traveling, stress at work and my birthday I thought for sure I'd be lucky to come in under goal. But I'm less this month than I was last month.

What a great month! I love October! The weather is cooler, the fair, leaves changing color, hockey, running outside, my birthday are just a few reasons I love this month. I FINALLY went skydiving! So much fun! I'm sure I'll go again, actually I have a few people that want me to go with them. I want to jump solo one day!  I'm sure I'll write a whole post on that adventure soon!
