...deciding if it was bad it didn't count because I worked out yesterday, only Monday weigh ins count,  blah blah. This picture is what I saw. I am half ecstatic, half afraid. First- HOORAY FOR ME I'm in the 170's! Second-but is it a fluke? Will it just come back after the rest of the [...]

I wanted to make a point of writing today, because most often you hear from me when I'm discouraged and frustrated, and not every day is like that.Today is especially good because it marks what I hope is the beginning of progress. I stepped on the scale and I am officially DOWN 2.4 lbs! I [...]

I've been doing increased calories/replacing calories for a week now. I'm staying off the scale till at least Monday to give it a fair shake. I feel like I've got my exercise tweaked to the right place, which is great. I plan on a level up on JMBR when we get home from Nebraska in [...]

And I'm still struggling to wrap my head around this. I've been working under the concept of eating at a 1000 calorie defecit AND working out on top of it for so long that it's really scary to me to eat back most or all of my workout calories. I'm scared my body is just [...]

A friend suggested the other day that I was undereating for the workouts I do and it really got me thinking. I discussed it with a few other friends today, and they all (and my LoseIt! and MyFitnessPal apps) agree that I should be eating calories to cover the calories I'm burning from exercise.  Here's [...]

I know I'm getting stronger, and my athletic performance is improving-I've covered that before. This week I've pushed through new barriers and worked out harder than I have maybe ever-2 years ago I was putting in more time (17h a week vs 8-9) but with less intensity(6.5) of those 9h are spent at 60-85+ of [...]

I've been dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil the past few weeks, in regard to getting pregnant and my fitness. I know my fitness is improving, as I've talked about at length here, but I'm just not getting smaller, and definitely not at a rate to match what I'm putting into it. I'm not [...]

So, three weeks of exercising 5x a week at increasing intensity under my belt, I'm not really noticing much of a difference in my body itself. I wrote the other day about my performance improving, and that's fantastic. However, I'm not someone who can be content with just performing better. I would be so irritated [...]

I'm about to get my Jillian and yoga in for the day so i'll try to make this quick. Update 1: tomorrow finishes my third consecutive week of consistent exercise after the insanity that was July and the first half of August. The first week started slow -just walking-cuz I had my period, yadda yadda. Last [...]

I am totally ready to have another baby. Or, as ready as you can be. Lexi is growing up beautifully, and is more independent by the day. Her newborn days seem so long ago and far away, though I know she still needs me very much. I've lost all the weight and inches I gained [...]
