Yesterday we were getting ready to go to the lake for the first time this season. I had my bathing suit on and grabbed some shorts. They were too tight. Ugh! I grabbed another pair and I could not even pull them up. Same with another and another. The last pair I had left, finally…
Oh boy. That’s both scary and liberating. I have so closely managed my diet and exercise for the past 27 months. Now I am asked to change things. Lots of things go through my mind… What will happen if I make changes this drastic? What will my pre- and post-workout snacks look like if I…
Before: You have such a pretty face! “I can’t imagine you have THAT much to lose!” I think you are pretty the way you are… During: Wow, you look great, be careful you don’t lose too much weight! “I thought you looked great before, but now…!” How are you doing it? Really, just exercising and…
(disclaimer: I have no training in nutritional sciences, the information below is merely based on my experiences) When I started losing weight, I closely followed my bodybugg and the meal plan. I maintained a 1400 calorie intake and aimed for 2400 calorie burn (1000 calorie deficit to average 2lb per week weight loss). I kept…
Throughout this journey, my workouts have changed. As I have said in the past, my weight loss workouts were cardio, stability, core strength, and low level strength training. The goal was to lose weight and tone. Last year, I started using more intense workouts. At least they seemed pretty intense at the time. However, as…

First, how much weight did you lose? In one year, I lost 80 pounds. I have since put on a few pounds – some because I was too thin at my lowest weight and a portion is muscle – more about that later. Back to the process…Within a few weeks, I was working out 5…
The change that began in 2000 brought me new determination, so despite continuing to encounter roadblocks, I continued to bounce back and return to my exploration of the inner athlete. I spent my first six months in Nevada alone. I used that time to first walk and then run the hills. I took ice dancing…
Sometime in 1995 (my mid 30’s), I began to change. Mind you this was not an overnight process. Rather, it was the beginning of a process that continues to this day. My husband and daughter went to northern Alabama with the church. They were going to help build and repair houses. I stayed home, probably…
I spent the rest of my twenties gaining weight. But that’s not all I did. Midway through that decade I decided to quit work and go to school full time. I had always had an interest in human behavior, but was also a bit stubborn and did not really want to follow my uncle (industrial…
