Update on "The Diet"

When I started the gym, I was horrified to discover that my body fat percentage was 35. As of last night it is 28. I still have work to do to get where I should be but this is encouraging! I guess the South Beach diet really works! The first phase is the hardest but if you follow it (no cheating) you will see big results. What I noticed after the first week was that I could not eat as much and this is a good thing! I haven't had to count calories either. My husband and I are on this together and later I will post the books wee use as guides. I am proud of him for doing this and even being the one to suggest it. He has seen even better results than I have!

Killing time.

I have been doing alot of thinking lately. Last night, I went to a church activity with the intent to get to know people and in all honesty could not wait to get home to my son. I do not do well meeting new people and I think it showed.
I have lived in the same town for most of my life. Last June was a move out of state and I still don't know many people. I am happy that my little boy finally has "Best friends" it is something he hasn't had before. But the move has been a huge adjustment for me. Yesterday, I was telling my mom how big Jonathan was getting and it hit me. Today he is two. Tomorrow, he will be five and next week, he will graduate from High school! I find myself wanting every moment I can get. I write everything down because it is the little things that make memories. I still can't believe it's almost easter! Didn't we just have Christmas or "kissmas" as Jonathan calles it?

Just a midnight ramble

I actually thought of calling this blog "The ramblings of a tired woman". I am actually so tired that I can't sleep. I hate the effect it has on me. I have so many things I should be doing and not nearly enough energy. I don't do well after a night like this because I need my sleep! I have so many things going through my head right now but I won't write them here for two reasons. One, if they all flood out now nothing will make sense and two, there are just things that I won't post here. Does anyone have a gallon of ice cream I can dive to them bottom of? Anything chocolate will work.

A little discouraged

In my last post I had stated that I lost eighteen pounds. It's more like ten-twelve. I'm just a wee disappointed honestly. I know I have the best incentive in the world but this is really hard! I will keep everyone updated as things continue. Also don't forget to follow me to be entered into the give away! I promise it will be something cool!

Weight loss




I jumped on the scale two days ago and realized that I lost eighteen pounds in the last few weeks.  between the gym and the south beach diet.  My Husband and I are halfway through phase one.  This has been very hard for me because I am addicted to Carbs and this is detox.  My goal is to get back to 110 pounds because when I was there,  I felt at my healthiest.   I owe it to my son to stay healthy. The first picture was taken before I started the gym and the second was taken just before our wedding when I was at my goal weight.
