An Unwelcome Guest

So how about that Glee finale eh? Do Journey songs make any one else cry? If I were Lea Michelle I would sing all day long just so I could hear myself.

This week has been right on track so far. I've stayed within my calorie limits, drank at least 120 oz of water, and I've kept with my 45 minute cardio promise. Working out with Matt has helped a lot! Last night was a struggle for me at the gym and I'm sure I would have somehow rationalized jumping off the machine at around 30 minutes but Matt was there pushing me and reminding me of his goals. Go him! (PS...last week he lost close to 20 lbs. I have a strange mixture of pride and jealousy.)

This morning I was greeted in my office with this:

Several months ago a co-worker came around with a fundraiser for his daughter's school. I didn't want cookies but I feel good about supporting schools and I knew Matt would enjoy a few. I had forgotten about this until they showed up, unwelcome, on my desk.

I have a game plan though. The dough is already pre-portioned into balls and I have nutrition information. Since I can't eat frozen cookie dough...these are going straight into the freezer. If I want one I'll have to wait for it to defrost so I'll know if I really want it or if I'm just eating it because it is there. Or there is always plan B: Give it to my brother and sister in law in an effort to assist our win of the biggest loser. :)

How are you doing on your goals so far this week? Any obstacles pop up in your way of succeeding?

i hate those unwelcomed guests! i bought a bag of cookies before i started my diet and surprisingly did not finish them-- every day i eat just 1 cookie! they are teeny tiny and won't too bad, right? :)
but i like your idea of passing them to your in-laws!

i exceeded my goal this week by losing 5lbs! yeah!

OR...you could throw your unwelcomed guest in the garbage can and not tempt anyone... You supported the school and that is what you wanted to do. So you dont need it. I guess i"m not afraid of wasting food though....
Good job at staying on track...I've failed...majorly! but I wont go into details. Its messy

Congratulations on sticking to your workout goals! My boyfriend has also been a great support for me and when I feel like giving up he reminds me that we are doing this to stay healthy.
About the cookies...I think one cookie once in a while doesn't hurt anything but tempting the competition never hurts either.

Bravo to you for staying op this week! You are truly blessed to have such a supportive partner! And wow! 20 lbs!?! I can certainly see why you would be jealous and prideful at the same time! lol Way to go Matt!!!

Talk about self-control! You go girl! I would definitely have to give that box of cookie dough away, because trust me, I would find a way to eat that sucker frozen! lol

Seriously we must share the same soul! No one else seems to love Glee, Gaga and KP with me except you... yay!

Argh! I hate when I forget about something such as cookies I ordered and they show up... makes me feel like it's a sign that I need to eat some...LOL! Stupid right! If you feel like you'll be tempted get them out of your house... or only keep a couple of them.

This morning I weighed myself and was up three pounds. I almost fell over right then and there! Not thrilled at all. My body currently hates me or aunt flo is about to visit. Either way I am sick of why weight being three pounds up, but never losing any! I might have a mental breakdown because of this.

xo have a fab day

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

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
