I am Sparking as KG4PVOWIFE now:)


Cheesy, I know. But I've been on this ride before. I have battled with weight and body image since I was in my teens. I was thin in my early twenties for about a week LOL. But I didn't get thin by eating healthy and exercising so I gained it back steadily until a couple of years ago. Until May 6th 2009. That is when I committed to changing my life.

Over the next year and half, I lost 75 pounds, became a SP motivator, went from a size 24W to an 18 regular (16 if I didn't mind ...
Cheesy, I know. But I've been on this ride before. I have battled with weight and body image since I was in my teens. I was thin in my early twenties for about a week LOL. But I didn't get thin by eating healthy and exercising so I gained it back steadily until a couple of years ago. Until May 6th 2009. That is when I committed to changing my life.

Over the next year and half, I lost 75 pounds, became a SP motivator, went from a size 24W to an 18 regular (16 if I didn't mind a muffin top). I ran three chipped 5Ks and a 10K with just my dog and my tunes.

Then somebody played bumper cars with the hubby's Jeep on a two lane blacktop en route to our anniversary cruise and I found myself halfway back to square one.

If I waste (any more) time lamenting about the fact that I am back in a size 20 or that my 5K time this past June was five minutes slower than my first race three years ago, I am going to go nowhere fast.

So I am going to try very hard to just focus on today and spend less time looking in the rear view mirror.

    How is it December already? I feel like the past two weeks have flown by. I am not ready for holiday preparations yet! Hope you are having a good week - just wanted to stop by and let you know I was thinking of you!

    thanks for the tips on getting in vegan proteins. I actually have a bunch of pumpkin seeds right now. Will have to try it out.

    Yeah, IKR!? I'm really disappointed about that! However, he has been smoke-free for almost 2 years, which is the longest he's ever been successful. So that's saying something. :)

    In answer to your question I am trying for 2-3 lbs a week until New Years/ I was 217 on November 10th - hoping for 213-214 by end of month. The most I have ever lost in 1 month is 14lbs. Notice what minus 15 would be...yeah, so Onederland is calling...Nothing special about New year's it just would be a great way to start the New Year. Based on prior loss, I would anticipate hitting 199 on January 20th - so I thought - why not TRY HARDER. I won't eat less - I am very happy with my 1300-1600 calories a day, but I am not opposed to killing it in the gym to make up some extra ground...I am fit and capable of this degree of exercise, so I thought - you never know. If I don't make it - totally cool, I just do so much better when I have short term goals to help me focus and keep me out of the chocolate bowl...

    my doc thinks I might have carpal tunnel starting and it was compounded by an old neck injury. hence the brace and drugs approach. I had another night of sleep and am feeling much better. headed home and looking forward to the weekend.
