it still happens... overeating.

Saturday, April 17th 2010

so... once again, the ruby tuesday's salad bar got me.

i knew it would happen.

i only had 200 calories and i still went. i wasn't hungry, and i still went. i knew i would go over, but i ate there anyway.

i told myself that i would stick to salad, but i got the pasta salads, etc. i am not invincible.

and now i feel like crap.... physically.

emotionally i am actually "okay" because i know this will not completely impede my progress and i know i could have done m...

it's happening

Tuesday, April 13th 2010

i can't believe i am ten lbs from goal. it seems like this journey has taken so long and i am not quite ready for it to be over. but i do realize that it will be the start of a whole new journey... a journey of maintaining health, and fitness.

i am thankful that i have started running and i feel like that will give me a new focus once i hit goal. this summer i plan to run several 5k races and to work up to a half marathon by september. i feel scared that i won't hit this goal, but i do thi...

closing in on 100.

Sunday, February 28th 2010

i am closing in on 100 lbs lost and it feels amazing. i have come so far. i am not shy to say that i am more proud of myself than i ever have been in my entire life. it took me a year to get here... but it was so worth the wait. and i honestly feel that if it had taken any less time that i may have taken it for granted.

every day when i look in the mirror i see the real person that has been in there all along but that has been scared to peek out. but even better, i see my mom!

finances.

Saturday, January 30th 2010

My husband and I are meeting with a financial counselor to seek advice on whether or not we are candidates for bankruptcy. It's not an option that I want to consider but I just don't know what else to do. We have over 15 medical creditors that we owe for my husband's one-month hospital stay last year. We simply cannot keep up. Not to go into too much detail... but it's just heavy. And I feel the weight of it!!

I tried all the tricks in the book and I finally just decided to sit down and pa...
