Less than one month until the city turns green 🍀
Guess which one of us is part of the Blue Man Group. 👤🎉
Currently being trounced by more winter weather. All I want is to be able to wear my sandals without worrying about frostbite. Spring, are you almost here? 🌞👀⛄️
I’m pretty pumped about my weigh-in results from the past two weeks! Things have been pretty go, go, go and my food choices have not been the healthiest, but the portion control is there, so that’s the most important thing. I say portion control is the most important thing because when I was a kid, I was overweight; and I’d want to lose weight, so I’d eat the Weight Watchers snacks and 100 calorie packs, but I’d eat them in large quantities. Let me tell ya — it’s not a 100 calorie pack if you eat five of them. 😜 Anyway, last week I was officially back into my full-time work routine after a hectic January. This week I’m going to be back in the gym full-time as well as balancing my work routine, so I’m happy. Hopefully next weigh-in I can move down into the next “weight decade” but we’ll see what happens. 🙌
Cousin Sophia is five today! 🥳 Here she is when we went hiking at the Grand Canyon in August. She walked on the trails at the canyon all by herself. She’s so big and brave. 👧🏻 Happy Birthday, Sophia! I hope you have the best day ever. I can’t wait to hang out with you again soon, so you can beat me in Connect 4...as always. 🎉
Here are the numbers from weigh-in Sunday for weeks three and four! No clever caption tonight, just sharing the facts that the scale shared with me. After a whirlwind month, I’m thankful to be sliding back into a routine. Cheers to finishing January strong and taking February by storm. 🌻
Happy Sunday. ✌️ Today is weigh-in day. 😬 This means it’s the start of a new week! 🎉 I get a new goal list from my PT today. 🏃🏽‍♀️I should be hearing back about a departure date anytime now from the TEFL school in China. 🇨🇳 Also, Happy New Year — it’s the year of the rat! 🐀 Anyway, that’s life lately, and I’m happy that January, my least-favorite month, is almost over. ⛄️
One of the greatest pictures ever. My niece and my cousin lookin’ like a couple of best girlfriends catching up. 😂🎀
Link in Bio for a new blog post on my six goals for 2020 🎉
Today was my second weigh-in of 2020 and I am down 2 pounds. 🥳🎉 I’m happy for any type of loss considering it was an unpredictable week. I typically wouldn’t go into detail, but for those of you following my WW Connect account already know — I left work early everyday this week, spent a lot of time at the hospital, followed by spending a lot of time at the hospice center. I didn’t go to the gym every single day like I had planned, but I made sure to go every other day at least. I moved into week 2 of C25K; I met with a personal trainer and created goals in order to achieve my ultimate goal of running the 2022 Chicago Marathon; and I tracked everything. I also ate really well, with the exception of the day I ate two donuts for dinner while at the hospice center. So all in all, it was a decent week for health. I have no idea what this week will bring, but something I am happy about is that this entire weight loss experience is in my control. I brought my own meals and water everywhere I went, and I’m just going to keep doing the same thing. I’m also starting week 3 of C25K this week. Onward and upward. ✌️
Lake Michigan is rockin’ today 🌊
Guess who’s traveling here from Arizona today? Cousin Sophia! The 4-year-old wonder girl who hiked the Grand Canyon and beats adults at tic-tac-toe. Fingers crossed she’s still rocking her signature little pink glasses. 👧🏻
