Last week I admitted that I hadn't been on track with my eating and weight-loss goals in Weight Loss Isn't Easy. Later that week I finally took a deep breath and stepped on my once again dreaded scale. Funny how that happens, when I'm focused on eating healthy choices and know that I've been careful I love my scale. This week I was cringing, I'd avoided facing the fall-out of the oh-so-bloody yummy treats I'd indulged in for far too long. Pulling up my big girl panties I faced the music only to ...

Weight Loss Ain’t Easy – Motivated Monday
I was remiss on posting a Motivated Monday post last week, things have been difficult for me lately in regards to pain and my health but here I am back at it. I haven't been paying much attention to my healthy eating and can feel the difference....I feel awful.

Improving My Health With Vitamins
With the beginning of the week, it's time for me to reflect on my health journey. As you all know I committed to losing weight in January, this is going well and to date I've lost 26 pounds!!

Yes I have pain issues, there are so many bad days I can't count....but I am also powerful, able to get up and do just a little bit more each day than the past days. If ...
Weight Loss Took a Back Seat – Motivated Monday
Monday, Monday you've arrived again and this week I need your motivation! For the last week I've given myself too much slack on the eating front. It was my birthday and as always I made this more than a one day event...it became a 5 day event including pasta, bread, potato chips and a delicious brownie dessert.Weight loss was the last thing on my mind when I saw this plate arrive! The desert was delicious and yet definitely not worth the pain I experienced an hour after eating it. There is ...
