Yeah Baby! I might have gained 1.6 pounds during my spectacular Mediterranean Cruise, but last week I took off that 1.6 plus two more for good measure! I am down 3.6 pounds this week, which brings me to 180.2 - next weigh-in I will be back in the 170s fo sho! Oh yeah, oh yeah...(excuse me while I … [Read more...]
New Jeans or New Bod?
I spent the day yesterday pulling out all of our summer clothes and replacing them with winter gear. I washed all of the mittens, hats, and scarves. I had my kids try things on to see what needs to be purchased (surprisingly little despite huge growth spurts...their clothes must have been … [Read more...]
Fruitsational!
When I got this menu plan from the nice people over at Motts, it just seemed like a fun thing to try with my kids, not to mention a potentially time-saving solution to the school-lunch mad rush we go through daily. So I put the idea to my eight year-old daughter: if I get this stuff and make these … [Read more...]
Yo-Yo, See-Saw…Call it What You Like: I’m Along for the Ride
If you've been following my progress for a while, you'll know that I originally lost fifty pounds. Then I sort of evened out, and found a good groove. Then, slowly, more and more came creeping back. Until I was back up to 188 and really needed to drop a good twenty pounds. And so I re-joined Weight … [Read more...]
Counting Down, Packing Up…
This Saturday I head out with Hubster and our two little girls (one is almost 8, the other 5) on a trip that's been nearly a decade in the making. We're going to visit my Mother-in-Law's hometown of Tallinn, Estonia. Well, truth be told I'm sure she considers Toronto her hometown (you surely didn't … [Read more...]
Long Weekend: Fat Weekend
We had a really nice family trip this long weekend. We drove up to Edmonton to stay with friends, and we managed to cram a whole bunch of really fun activities in. We visited a few new places on our way north from Calgary, checking out downtown Red Deer and stopping for a super-yummy ice cream at a … [Read more...]
A Banner Week!
Just a short update to let you all know thatI LOST TWO POUNDS LAST WEEK! Woohoo! Yeah! I was thrilled to see that loss, as it had been a bit of a shaky week and I knew I had lost some weight, just not how much. But two pounds down is a great week, especially after a 0.8 gain last week. (BTW, thanks … [Read more...]
I Confess
I've been a bad girl for the past little while. That is, I haven't been entirely honest with you. I have, in fact, been hiding a dark, nasty little secret. But now it's time to come clean. I'm nervous though, and a little bit ashamed, so be kind, okay? Okay. I can do this. Are you ready? Can I tell … [Read more...]
Eating Real
A little over two years ago, I went on a camping trip with my family. Stay with me here folks, it will come around to being relevant. We stayed at a pretty nice campground, with a kids' playground and a little lake and nice beach. The bugs weren't too bad and the local town (Vulcan, AB) had some fun … [Read more...]
The First Month
It's been a month now that I've been using Isagenix. What a journey it's been, too! I've gone from from wanting to eat dryer lint to being perfectly satisfied eating nothing at all, and I think I've hit on just about every emotion in between, too. When I started Isagenix, I was skeptical. Then I … [Read more...]
