Don’t you get tired sometimes? I mean tired of counting calories…tired of being the only one in your house that cares about being healthy? I have been kind of up & down lately. I have had days where I wake up sick of having to think about what to eat and what I can’t eat. Should any food be off limits? Of course but I just get tired of it. I find myself wishing I had done things differently from the moment I left high school. I know I can’t change things from the past. Just aggravated with myself and the choices I have made recently. I am not giving up. I just hate the days where you feel like…I am so tired of this. I just want to be “normal”.

Position available: Accountability buddy

I need a tough person. I mean seriously…someone willing to ask me “WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU EAT THAT?” But also someone tough enough to be asked the same thing.

Terms are of course negotiable as to how often we check in on each other, etc…

It doesn’t matter if its someone on my team…..someone from another team…someone from my buddy list or even someone I don’t know yet.

I had a so-so day. I spent my whole day just dreading going to Curves for my weigh-in & measure. I don’t know why, but weighing in there seems so much different than when I do it at home. I guess because I somehow want them to know I am working as hard as I can. If I see very little results with my lbs. loss or in my measurements, I feel like I failed. I think that’s normal. So I took a deep breath and got everything done. Since I joined Curves January 14th, I have lost 34 lbs and 16.5 inches. NOTHING’S STOPPIN ME!!! My Curves owner thinks I am her poster child.  lol  I am not sure I deserve that honor, but I am hoping by her putting my numbers up, I may encourage some of the others to continue when they want to quit. One of the most important things..I WON’T QUIT!

Every lb. I lose…every inch I see melt away only pushes me forward to that next Curves weigh in. SO I CAN SHARE IT ALL WITH YOU GUYS! Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me! I appreciate you all so much.

 My name is Tiffany and I endorsed this message (LOL)

I have never been one to fall for gimmicks or silly infomercials. Sure I have ordered workout videos with fantastic results. Yet I have never even thought about ordering the magic toothbrush or a strange looking ball that’s supposed to remove any & all stains. lol  My hubby listens to all the infomercials on XM radio on his way to & from work. About 3 weeks ago, he was telling me about a colon cleanser. I know what you are thinking..lol…but he was actually being nice. I have hypothyroidism and one of the symptoms is irregularity…sometimes very severe. He gave me the name and I told him I would think on it. I don’t like to take any kind of medication without knowing every detail about it. It just so happened that night on TV we caught one of the infomercials for Dual Action Cleanse.  After a few minutes of listening, I was like WOW…I wonder if it will work for me. My only fear was having a reaction like I did to the dieter’s tea. Lets just say I couldn’t leave the bathroom and my stomach hurt so bad I felt like I was in labor. YIKES!

Needless to say I didn’t want to buy it just yet. However I was strolling through Walmart and what do I see on the shell next to all my yummy fiber pills….you got it..Dual Action Cleanse. So I bought it. I have about a week and a half left of taking a month’s supply. I am very pleased with the results so far. It works just like they say it does. I feel lighter…cleaner…and not so tired. 

So I thought I would let all you ladies & gents know about it. You may be like me and never listen to the infomercials but I am glad I took the time with this one.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

HEARTBREAKERS KICK SOME BOOTY TOMORROW! WOOHOO!

Today was my weigh-in & measure day at Curves. I have been going for 2 months now. I have lost 25 lbs and 12.5 inches!!! I knew Curves worked,but I didn’t expect to see such wonderful results. Even with all my slip-ups and days of being face down in the mud, I feel I have made a great accomplishment. On the days I did not feel like waking up…didn’t feel like watching calories…sure didn’t feel like going to Curves..I came here….I read…I felt energized & refreshed. Everyone I have met here has shown me the power of believing in yourself and the tremendous effect positive reinforcement can have on a life. I cannot thank ya’ll enough for all the support you have given me. Reading your blogs and messages encourages me to push forward.

Good morning buddies!

 Well we all know what last week was like for me…no loss..no gain…just one of “those” weeks. But the sun did rise again and life was set back into motion.

I got my bootie movin and groovin. I exercised..I danced…I jumped around with the kiddos. Why no one ever tells us there is power in acting like a kid I don’t know…must be one of those ancient Chinese secrets.

It was a good week. I got up this morning praying for some kind of loss….I will take a lb at least I said…looked down at the scale 183….huh?! Step off…..begin again….183..OHHHHHHH MYYYYYY! I lost 5 lbs. I log into buddyslim….YOU HAVE  EARNED A GREEN STAR! ohhh me likey the green! So pretty…what a wonderful feeling of accomplishment!! I will take a green star or any star on buddyslim over a bag of chips anyday.

Good luck to all my buddies this weigh in and next week!

Buried at PhotoCasketI guess my week of walking, exercising and shopping wasn’t too bad after all. I am down another 4 lbs this week for a whopping total of 19 lbs!! Whew….I am even more motivated to continue on with my diet and stay away from the fries. :)~ I have joined a newbie challenge started by ones of buddies, April. If you would like to join, just go into the forum under weight loss challenge and look for Newbie weight loss. There we are!I also joined a challenge to lose 10 lbs by Easter. That has been started by Julie. The more the merrier with that one as well. We can all use the support!One thing I am learning from my buddies is that planning is key. I knew I was going out alot this week and although I made decent choices, they could have been better had I planned ahead and brought good things to eat. I am not saying I won’t mess up in the future,but at least I am looking into what causes me to mess up. I can hold myself accountable since ignorance is no longer bliss..lol

I actually had my weigh in on Tuesday but I have been so busy I haven’t had the chance to sit down & tell you guys about it. Well I said a sigh of relief knowing that my scale has been accurate….I have indeed lost 15 lbs by their scale and 5 inches total…I also went down 2 points on my BMI and lost 2% body fat. All good news…

My eating hasn’t been totally wonderful this week. We were out of town every single day. We did the stop & grab at McDonalds. I did eat a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat with lettuce & tomato, but I ate some fries Mon, Tues. and today. I am hoping with as much exercising as I do that it kinda counteracts that, but we will see.

On top of the regular business of being a stay at home mom, homeschooling a 12 yr old & 16 yr old PLUS babysitting my niece, who by the way is well into being terrible two,yet not even 2 yet..lol…this week 2 members of my household have been struck by the flu. YIKES! I am just making sure hands get washed, noses get blown and medicine is taken because I really don’t want to get sick. *knock on wood* I haven’t been sick in awhile. And we all know MOMS CANNOT GET SICK! My house would just fall apart. No thank you!

I will try to get around to everyone’s pages today or this weekend! Have a great one!

15 lbs lighter and smiling! The only mistake I made this week was taking a cheat day yesterday instead of waiting after my weigh in this morning. But thats ok. I learned a valuable lesson…I thought I couldnt have a cheat day because of what happened to me previously. I was wrong! I proved to myself that I can do it and then get back to healthy eating the next day. I had a good day yesterday with my family..ate some of my favorites things without going overboard and today I started off my day with a healthy breakfast! :)  My weight loss this week was 1 lb and that got me to my first mini goal of losing 15 lbs! I am very happy about my progress.

I hope everyone had a fantastic week! HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!

I am a happy camper! I lost 3 lbs this week! woohoo

Gonna dance some more…

This was a tough week for me. I had some chocolate cravings,which I did my best to ignore. I bought some sugar free chocolate pudding.

As far as workouts….my daughter & I went to Curves all 5 days. Too bad they aren’t open on the weekend. But we decided to skip one day on the weekend and then find something for us to do the other day.

I hope all my buddies had a great week and have a fabulous weekend!
