Weigh In: January
As a quick check-in. I was a bit worried with my back being out, basically not exercising, being horizontal and my stomach a wreck from medicine, that I might end up putting a few pounds on. Gratefully it’s been the reverse! Post-Christmas I was at 216lbs. Weighed in this morning at, 211.5lbs. Since being home…

Saturday my super cool sister in law came down and presented at our house, a Body Shop at Home party. Kelly and I were the hosts. We decided to do the “Spa Day” theme, which means basically, we get to soak our feet, try on body butters, lotions, a little make up and chill out…

Tonight was my first time going to the gym and working out with a trainer. I set a time of 7:30 to go, guaranteeing work could not throw it off, or any other unforeseen events. I met with my trainer, we went over why I want to lose weight, what are my goals, how seriously…
Read MoreMorning Person
I’ve been half-heartedly trying to be a morning person for a while. Craig wakes up with no issues at 5am. I on the other hand would rather sleep to 10am. I do best when a beam of sunlight is coming in a window on to my face and voila, I’m awake and feel great. Our…
