What have I been up took? Healthy eating, exercising and on track to getting back to my goal weight which is:

160 pounds!!

Current weight is now 170 pounds!!! YEY

This past week I lost 6 pounds and I am so excited!!! Because the holidays and working this Mary Kay (Any Mker’s out there?  I would love to get your opinion of this business.)can really get you off track.  So, with this new year I have set my boundaries and I am not letting anyone or anything get in my way of staying healthy and happy. I have set my schedule where my family and health comes first and anything after that will have to wait. How about that. I feel sooooooo liberated!!!

Today was wonderful. My 3 year-old son (he is so cute!! I just have to share some pics later) and I played at 3 parks, went to the pond and just enjoyed life, I ate on plan and I just finished my step aerobics and weightlifting and now I am about to treat myself to my last snack for the day which is a wonderful 110 calorie skinny cow vanilla and strawberry creamsicle. Let me tell you if you are looking for a wonderful sweet treat this is one your should add.

But away, I came across this wonderful quote that I must share.  If life is getting in your way of whatever your goals are keep this close to your heart:

“To be truly cultivated is to think reasonably, to live grandly, to love greatly, to shun pettiness, to condem prejudice and cruelty. In short, to be cultivated is to be alive in the very largest sense.”

- Dorothy J. Farnan

Let’s be cultivate!!!

I could sure use some new workouts.  Don’t you get bored of the same routine??? I know I do. Tae Bo here, step aerobics there. Please tell me what you like to lose weight to?

At any rate, today was a very successful day so far.  I ate 100% to my meal plan, drank all my water, and in 1 hour I will be exercising to Kelly Robert’s Step It Strong DVD. It includes Interval Stepping with weights plus slow and full body training. My downfall is late night snacking, so I am testing myself today. Wish me luck on not falling tonight. What I am doing is saving my last snack after I exercise this evening so that I will not go to bed HUNGRY and ready to snack, snack, SNACK!! My goal is to loose 2 pounds this week. Check back next week for the results.

Off to Step off the pounds

I am so happy I lost the weight with Nutrisystem. It is a easy plan to following without any stress, measuring, and counting calories. However, I would have never imagine this happening as a result of my weight loss through this program.  Last summer 2006 Nutrisystem invited me with 20 other people who lost weight with NS to a photo shoot in Philadelphia for the upcoming print ads that you may have seen on QVC, and now in Shape’s January issue and other fitness publications. How cool is that!! I had so much fun listening to the other invites weight loss stories and made a lot of new friends too. So I just thought to myself let me share the pics with you all too in hopes to inspire.
