Back into the swing of things
I’ve heard in order to form a habit it takes about 21 days. I’m going on day 3. I need to make going to the gym part of my everyday routine again. Unfortunately, I’m doing it at the worst time of year, along with everyone else.
Last night Mike and I hit the gym. I focused all on cardio last night, since it’s been quite a while. Plus my legs and ass are sore from all the...
ouchhh
Bob Harper kicked my butt last night in my new Biggest Loser Challenge on the Wii. Lots and lots of lunges and squats, not something I normally do even though I know it’s the most important thing to do. Does anyone else have this game? Are there weekly weigh ins or anything? Do I have to join a challenge to do it?

Time to get serious...
…again. This week I was completely derailed. Lots of celebration of the engagement and Christmas. I think I drank 6 days straight and ate like shit every single day. I definitely gained 2 pounds at least. FML. But the fun part is, it’s time to get back on schedule and start working out again.
I finally got a heart rate monitor!! I got a cute pink Polar F6 from Santa! I set it up last...

Height: 5’0
Last week: 126.4
This week: 126.4
Change: 0
I’m fine with this number personally. I didn’t deserve to lose weight this week because I have been eating and drinking my face off. It’s been an eventful couple of days, celebrations, Christmas parties, etc. I’m just glad I maintained! I figured I’d have a gain for sure.
I’m heading home to CT...

New weight loss motivator...
trying on wedding dresses! I told myself I will not be allowed to try on dresses until I lose 7 pounds. That will bring me to 120 pounds. Then by the wedding, lose the last 10 which is my goal weight. Obviously I want to lose the weight anyway, regardless of a wedding. But it’s important for me to feel good on my wedding day, and not self conscious about my arms, etc. I have about 15 months...

Well, just going to cut to the chase. The moment I have been waiting for arrived, and it was amazing. On Saturday, Mike proposed!!!!!! I am officially engaged!! As for the anon that asked me on Friday when I thought we would get engaged, I think you might be telepathic. I wish I could post pictures with this post, but I left my camera cord at home.
Here’s how it went down, because I know...

Holiday gift baskets
have been coming into the office non stop. I don’t even bother looking because I know I don’t like the stuff or know not to have the stuff. I just went up to the bar and saw tons of Laughing Cow wedges in this basket!!! Ahh, something I can enjoy. Now indulging in a swiss laughing cow cheese with 3 crackers. YES.

This week: 126.4
Change: -.6
A loss is a loss is a loss! I’ll take it, especially considering what time of the month it is! I wasn’t expecting a loss at all. The main thing is the weight it going down, and I haven’t seen 126 in a very long time. So I’m excited. Next just get over the 125 hump.
Great gift idea!! →
A friend just sent me this link and I’m obsessed. Great gift for the house, and it’s your own custom artwork! Very unique. I love the baby poster one.

The dreaded NY resolution...
It’s time to start busting out some good workouts at home. That time of the year is coming when the gyms fill up and start getting obscenely packed. Time to invest in some larger weights, and some new things to do at home. I do not have the patience to wait at the gym for someone to get off a machine. My gym is mini anyways, so it will be claustrophobic. Any suggestions for good workout...

weekend recap
This past weekend was our annual family trip to New York City. Mike and I got into CT Friday afternoon and spent some time by the fire watching Christmas movies with the fam. It was my parents, Mike and I and my brother and his girlfriend. It was very nice. Saturday morning we all got up early, bundled up and took the train into NYC. It ended up being a perfect day weather wise. 45 degrees and...

I’m at a loss for words. I don’t even know how this happened, but I am super excited that it did!! And that’s a pretty big loss for me in one week. I weighed in yesterday and saw it and almost peed my pants in excitement, but thought maybe it’s a fluke. But I got the same thing today. Chyea! ::happy weight loss...

I wouldn’t say this is a good pic of me, but it’s funny. We were in VT a couple of weekends ago and there was a “fake wedding” going on at the bar we were at. I guess these people were bored. Anyways, there was even a fake bouquet toss, and guess who got it. This girl. Mike looked thrilled.

Run run!
I haven’t ran in a week. I could only run a mile last week because my head and chest cold was too much for me. I thought I was going to die. So tonight I mapped a quick 1.5 mile route near my apartment I am going to attempt to run. It’s so freaking cold out, it makes me want to stay inside and get under a blanket, not go run for 15 minutes. But, it’s only 15 minutes. I need to...
courtmarie asked: okay so... i use aquaphor for chapped lips. do you use it on your actual face too?? i feel like my nose and chin are peeling off... i never thought to use aquaphor on my actual face...!!?!??!
I think it should be mandatory that when people take pictures at weddings, they should immediately post them on facebook for me to look at them!!! How else do they expect me to stalk the wedding photos? I am waiting…..
Oh Advertising.
Why do we work with so many awesome clients and reps that love to fill our bar with pizza every other day. Free lunch doesn’t suck. Must. Resist.
