It’s been about 3 weeks that I’ve been doing Turbo Jam. At first it was hard to get coordinated. I kept falling and tripping over myself. Still, it was fun and I didn’t give up. I started mostly doing Learn & Burn where she introduces the moves or 20 Minute Jam, a great 20 minu...

As many of you readers know, we are going on a month long cruise. We leave 2 weeks from yesterday. I’m so excited. I still can’t believe we’re going, it just hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s all happened so fast. You also know I’m on a journey to reclaim my life from bein...

I’m still sick today. I spent all yesterday afternoon, evening and this morning in bed mainly sleeping. I’m feeling a little better today but still pretty blah. By this afternoon I was pretty sore from laying around so much and probably general aches from being sick. Rather than take a p...

Hey everybody, remember I said I thought I may be getting sick. Well, it’s official. I’m now sick. Chest congestion, and stuffy head seem to be the worst. I’m coughing up green gunk. I suppose that’s good but, yuck. Better to get it out though. I’m drinking my get well ...

I’ve lost a pound and half this week, putting me just under 165. I still have another pound and a half to lose before meeting this month’s goal. I gained back some of last month’s loss at the beginning of this month so with the shorter month, I’m to work extra hard these last...

This week has been a bit of a challenge. Sunday was my birthday and we went to a fancy buffet brunch. Yummy but full of calories. That set me back a few pounds. Today I’m back down to 166.25 which means overall I’m up a pound for the week. I’ve been working to get back on track wit...

The kids did their first dog mushing race today. This was actually the third race of the season but we were sick the other two times. They each used one dog. They borrowed both dogs and sled since we don’t have any. Richard went ahead of Karen.  He held on and the dog kept pulling. Karen also...

I’ve only lost about 7 pounds this year but have toned up a lot. As a result, I need smaller clothes. I realized a week or so ago that I was shrinking. My favorite skirt is way too loose. I don’t know if I should be glad or mad. Anyway, yesterday at water aerobics I realized I will also ...

This has been a fantastic week. I’ve had my biggest weekly weight loss yet, two and a half pounds! I’ve been strict about NO S eating and started the third level of Slim in 6 (Burn It Up!) this week. As a result, I’m down to 165.25 and have now gone below the monthly weight goal. I...
