April Fools Day
I can't believe it's April already. Seriously! Where has the first quarter of the year gone? We got about a foot of snow today - not funny Mother Nature. Time to get down to business with this weight loss. I sing this tune all the time, and start anew all the time. It's getting old. Yet, here I go again!
We're taking Easter week off and heading down to the Jersey shore for some R&R with the kids. I wanted to be well on my way to my goal weight by then. Instead, I remain fluffy. So, my new mini goal (yes, it's aggressive) is to lose at least 15 pounds in three weeks.
How will I do that? Lots of exercise and a healthy diet. I can't crash diet because I'm currently breastfeeding my 7 month old. So, exercise it is. I'm going to post here every day until then with my progress and what I did that day. Let's see if this works out for me....

I'm back!
Wow! Two years have passed, and I'm finally back. Ready to lose again. It's crazy how life gets away from you and how much dedication it actually takes to get back in shape. A lot has happened in the past two years. Yes, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which is a big part of the reason that I was having such a hard time losing. I take 150 mcg levothyroxine now and actually have a little energy.
Good news! I've had a baby since I last posted. He's now a healthy 5 month old and keeps me busy. Not that I wasn't busy before. Ha! We have a house full now (done having babies!) ranging from 5 months to 13 years. There are five kids in all.
I'm no longer pursuing my Nursing degree. The hospital sponsoring me could not afford to continue the program, so I had to take a year off. Then, I got pregnant. Surprise! I've found that I'm quite satisfied working from home. It does have its financial challenges, especially when you are not focused. This year, I'm working on getting focused and staying focused - in more ways than one. I hope my weight is one area that I can focus on.

Not Losing.....Help!
I have been getting very discouraged with the LACK of weight loss I'm seeing. I know I'm not doing things perfectly, but I should be seeing more weight loss. So, here's the thing! I might have hypothyroidism. My Dr. had mentioned this to me before (on a couple occasions actually), but I never got the blood work done. I have an appointment this Friday though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this may actually be the problem. It would explain a lot of other health issues I have, and it seems easily treatable. It would be a blessing to find out WHY I cannot seem to lose the weight...... I'll keep you posted.

High Hopes for February!
So, here goes. I've been lax about posting because I have not lost a pound in 2 weeks! My diet is not the best, but I have been keeping up with my exercise. I'm going to get my diet in check starting February 1st . Yes, I know it's Super Bowl Sunday......ribs, pizza, nachos...yum.....it's already in my house ready to go. Game plan: start the day light and watch what I eat during the game. Everything in moderation, right? Did I ever mention my husband can eat that stuff and he is SKINNY? He knows when to stop though. I'm missing that OFF button for some reason....
I've decided that I will run a 5K this summer. My 10 year old talked me into it. There is NO WAY I'm going to get out there and start training now in the snow. I have a couple neighbors who run religously - temperature and weather aside. I admire them for it, but you won't catch me out there. Guess I'll just keep working on increasing my endurance on the elliptical until it gets warmer. Any other 5k training suggestions?
