Goals and Shopping

Hey friends!

Happy Monday! How did you do with your goals last week?

I was able to complete one of my goals. I did 5 days of 45 minutes on the elliptical. However, I did go over my calories on Saturday due to the shockingly high calorie content of a soft pretzel. Oh well. I was rewarded in my efforts with a 3.5 lb loss. Woot woot!

Except for the pretzel issue, I stayed on track and I had a pretty active weekend.

Thank you for all of your suggestion on how to work more strength training into my routines. I've decided to try a kettlebell workout. I did quite a bit of research on them and they look like something I could enjoy. I purchased a kettlebell this weekend and this morning I did my first workout. It wasn't too hard but I have a feeling that I'll definately feel it tomorrow.

This weekend I decided to do a little shopping and wandered into a Forever 21. Now I've never shopped there before because of my size and when they came out with thier "extended sizes" last year, I felt like it was a HUGE slap in the face to the entire plus size community. Their extended sizes barely cover what other stores carry as standard sizes. I know when I wandered into the store...even though I could find things in my size, I didn't want to buy them. Why would I want to buy a 3X? Rant over.

This week my goals are to do 4 sessions on the elliptical that are at least 45 minutes, to workout with my Kettlebell 3 times (One down, Check!) and to stay on track with my eating. Also....I'd like to wear heels at least once this week to work.

I would love to wear heels to work but our floor is not made for it. I would probably break my neck.

You'll have to keep us posted on the kettle bell workout!

Don't you wish some foods would have a calorie count on them? Like that pretzel or my nachos.. something that reads like,

"Warning! Massive amount of calories! Only for special occasions!" -Or you know something like that....

I can't wait to hear how the kettlebell works out for you. I've been wanting to buy one, but haven't done it yet.

Wow!! A 3.50 pound loss!! Yay for you!!

I like to wear heels to work a few days a week. When I was at my heaviest I couldn't wear them at all due to my bad knees, so I'm enjoying being able to wear them again. I think there's something about heels that just makes a girl look and feel pretty!

BTW...you made me drool about the pretzel!! LOL

I'm with you on the "extended sizes" it's like they are trying to say "no you're not our clietns, we just keep these extended stuff so if a skinny customer wants to buy something for a friend they'll make a mistake of shopping from us" Yeah I'm offended and won't calm down the next 10 years.

Wow forget about the shops you're doing such good work!!! Congrats ♥

Hello All

Hello there...as mentioned in the previous post. I am ShaReece, SherRon's sister. She asked me if I would guest blog. I am not a blogger and have never done this in my life, but...here goes. A little about me. I am 25 years old and have been trying to promote a healthier lifestyle since last January. My starting weight was 232 lbs. My current weight is 172 lbs!! YEAH! SherRon and I have some things in common like: we share the gene pool, innate poor eating habits, love of pretty shoes and desire to lose weight and become more healthy. However, in all other ways, we are polar opposites. I have a LOVE for working out (Zumba, TurboKick, Hip Hop Hustle, most sports). I have a total different body shape as well that SherRon has often referred to as "built like a football player." This lovingly means that I have no hips or butt. When asked about my body shape I call it brick of cheese. Note pictures below. Well... is there anything else you want to know about me? Or anything ab

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier,

CSN Gift Card Giveaway

Image
Do you guys remember way back in June when I told you to look forward to a review and a giveaway from CSN stores? Well, that day has finally arrived. The hardest part about this giveaway was choosing what I wanted. There are so many items in so many stores! They carry everything from dining tables , to fitness equipment, to shoes and accessories. I browsed through many, many different stores but kept going back to the shoe section. (Can you blame me?) Being a good weight loss blogger I would have purchased something in the health and fitness section, but where is the fun in being good all the time? After several hours pouring over the different shoes, I picked a pair and submitted my order. Immediately afterward I got an email telling me my order had been received and that it would ship from the warehouse within two days. The first day came and went with no news from the store. The second day I received an email telling me they were checking with the warehouse to see why my item had no
