The Artist

This beautiful film made me so flippin' happy!  All I have wanted to do since seeing this movie is wear flapper dresses, dance the Charleston and fall in love with a daper French silent film actor.  Le sigh.

O.o

Good Lord!  Has it really been since September that I have posted here? Whew!  That's crazy....

So, um....yeah.  Hi.  Where do I begin?  Well, maybe bullet points are best so here goes:

  • Changed careers from being a massage small business owner to working in New Home Sales.
  • Quit Weight Watchers, put on 10 lbs, tried to loose it myself with different techniques
  • Joined Weight Watchers again, this time online. 
  • The wedding I was MOH in happened, without a hitch.
  • Made some new friends, moved on from others.
  • Working on moving back to the thriving metropolis that is Fredericksburg, VA
  • Went to Germany....had a blast!
  • Going to Vegas for the first time in April for work training...so excited!
Besides those things, life has been pretty mundane.  Busy but good.  Some ups, some downs and a lot of changes, some small some big.

I have been thinking about the blogosphere and what I want to put out into it.  Yes, I will keep reporting on my healthy lifestyle journey but I would like to focus on other things as well.  Things that inspire me, make me happy, make me think....etc.

Enough about me, how are all of you??

Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability | Video on TED.com

Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability | Video on TED.com

This talk really spoke to me and I wanted to share it with you all.

I'm really struggling right now guys. Can't seem to push past ALMOST 40lbs lost. I have no desire to blog or do anything that requires major brain power or typing more than a few characters. Hence my obsession with Twitter and Facebook right now. So I am taking a break for a bit to try and get my stuff together.

Take care. :)

Little Ms. Cranky Pants

Hey guys.  *hides sheepish and apologetic grin*

So yeah, my last post was rather cranky wasn't it?  Sorry about that.....sometimes my temper gets the better of me.  Well, let me start by thanking everyone for their most helpful and might I add, AWESOME suggestions for my tracking allergy.  It's still a challenge for me but I am getting better at it.

I purchased a three month journal which I sometimes write in and sometimes I use my phone app to record but mostly I just went back to eating power foods.  I needed to reset my clock so to speak.  Well mission accomplished.  I feel inspired again.....I so needed that.  I happy to report that I am .6 (point six) of a pound away from 40lbs lost!!!  Super Squee!  Mother Nature is visiting so I have no doubt that next Tuesday's weigh in will be a good one as well.

I'm still working out.... a lot.  And I am really enjoying it.  It really does affect my mood in a very positive way.  However, I had to stop the C25K program due to a hip flexor injury.  I think that I am still too heavy to put that much pounding pressure on my joints.  I will rest for a month and then try again and see where I stand.

So how is the summer treating all of you?  :D

Better Late Than Never, Right? RIGHT?

Life has been busy and a little crazy but then again who's hasn't.  I wish I was a more consistent writer but I have been trying to work through some life issues that I won't be sharing on the world wide interwebs.  I'm not feeling very poetic or pithy this evening so I will do bullet points of my past three weigh ins:
  • Weigh in on 5/17 up 2.4
  • Weigh in on 5/24 down 1.8
  • Weigh in on 5/31 down .6
See that lovely pattern there.  I'm trying to pass that hurdle.  Exercise is great and fun for me.  I am still doing the C25K program, Zumba, weights and now a core class.  Tracking, however, is the bane of my existence.  I am working at having a better outlook on it but it really truly is very much a struggle for me.  The thought of recording every single thing I put in my mouth drives me bonkers!  Oh well, I'll have to get over it some how.

Do you guys have any tips or tricks to make tracking easier or even to give me a better outlook on it?
HELP?
