Crossroads

Hello everyone! How was your Thanksgiving weekend? I missed you guys - things have been soooooo busy, I haven't had time to write or read blogs. I promise I'm going to catch up this week, though - I need to see what you all have been up to!

The last 4 days have been a roller coaster of emotions, holiday fun and hard work! Thanksgiving was a pretty good day - we spent it with my family, and it was peaceful and yummy. My little one came down with a bad cold that night, and was sick most of the weekend, so we didn't do much else until yesterday.

Yesterday was my first gift show for Katie's Charms (my jewelry business). It was a tiring day, and the turnout was pretty bad, but I learned a lot and I have some good ideas to make things better for my next gift show in December. Here's a shot of my little table at the show:


The hubby and I have been working through some issues the past few days. We both have a tendency not to talk about the things that bother us, until we both become snappy and distant. So, we're working that out and talking more, which is great - but it be very taxing on the ole' emotions.

Needless to say - in all this hullabaloo, my eating has not been a priority. I definitely enjoyed myself on Thanksgiving, but didn't take many leftovers home, so I wasn't tempted there. I didn't exercise this weekend, though - and the scale's stuck at 218.4.

But of course today is a new day, and so far, so good. I'm still planning on switching to home workouts at the end of the year, so I'm going to try to do my workout at home today, just to start getting used to it. I asked Santa for a kettlebell this year - so that should help me get some strength training in at home!

That's about it - I'm back, I'm happy to be eating well again, and looking forward to what the end of the year brings! Tomorrow I'll be posting a review on Jillian Michael's book, Master Your Metabolism - come back and see what I think!

A winner and a prayer request

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everyone!

First things first, random.org pulled a random number for me, and the winner of the Jillian Michaels Book giveaway is.....

Comment #4 - barrett2005!

Congratulations! Please send me your address to watchmybuttshrink[at]gmail[dot]com.

I have a prayer request. My best friend just gave birth to a baby boy. Unfortunately, he was born 2 months premature. He was 1lb. 14oz. when he was born this past Monday. As of last night, my friend hadn't seen him yet, because she was still recovering from her own set of health issues.

So far baby Thomas seems to be doing okay. He's on a lot of machines, but he's breathing regular air, not pure oxygen, which is a good sign. Please pray for this little baby, that he grows strong and free from any long term health effects of being born so early. If you're not the praying type, then please just send him and his family comforting thoughts.

Thanks, you guys! I wish you all a very, very happy holiday tomorrow! I'll be back on Friday with a post-Thanksgiving...post!

Last call for the Jillian Michaels giveaway!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Just wanted to shout LAST CALL for the Jillian Michaels book giveaway! Click here to enter if you haven't already. Comments must be in by 11PM tonight, EST.

I did a "test" home workout last night, and it went pretty well. My kids did come in to visit once, but otherwise I got a full hour to myself. Unfortunately, I hurt myself while I was doing a DVD! Twisted my ankle, but it's not too bad. I think if I take it easy for a couple of days it will be okay - and some Advil doesn't hurt!

Tomorrow I'll announce the winner of the book giveaway. Have a good day!

WHO'S PANICKING?? I'M NOT PANICKING!!!

Okay, people. It's here. The gauntlet. The arch enemy of dieters healthy eaters. The main event...

TURKEY DAY. (dun dun dunnnnn)

T-minus 3 days and counting. Are you ready? Have you made your plans?? No? Well, better get on it, because in just a few days you will be staring down the hollowed-out neck of some poor bird, which will be surrounded by mounds of things cooked in butter.

(Apologies to my Canadian and International readers. We will now try to return to normal.)

This week is a bit - CrAzY - for me. Besides TURKEY DAY (dun dun dunnnnn), I have my first gift show coming up on Sunday for my jewelry business. I'm trying to get my inventory ready, brochures printed and pricing done, all while shopping and cooking for Thursday's dinner.

So please forgive me if I'm a bit short with you this week. It's not you, it's me.

In the meantime, don't forget about my Jillian Michaels book giveaway! Entries must be in by tomorrow night, and the winner will be announced Wednesday.

Have a good one!

Weigh In Day! Plus some changes...

Hi all,

Happy Friday!!!! I'm happy to say I made it through the week without any major catastrophes, lol! I ate cake on my husband's birthday (the cake made the Foodbuzz Top 9 today, by the way!), and "welcomed" Aunt Flow (blech), without straying from my plan of eating well and getting to the gym.

I weighed in today at 216.6, which is still 2.3 pounds up from my lowest weight so far, but 2.2 pounds down from were I was on Sunday, so I'll take it.

If you missed my giveaway announcement yesterday, you can find it here - if you ever wanted to read some Jillian Michaels, here's your chance to do it on my dime, ha hah!

I've decided at the end of the year I'm going to cancel my gym membership. Don't scream!! I'm not giving up on exercise, just the expense of the gym and the stress of trying to get there after my husband gets off of work.

Instead, I'm going to get the Wii Fit and use that, a kettlebell and cardio videos to work out at home. My husband has agreed to make sure the kids are occupied when he gets home from work so I can have an hour to myself.

While in an ideal world the gym is a great thing to have, we are trying to save some cash, and honestly - I HATE leaving the house at 7PM to go to the gym while the rest of my family is eating dinner. If I workout at home, I'm home - I can eat dinner at a normal hour, and be here to get my kids in bed.

What do you guys think? Am I making a huge mistake? Anyone have tips for me to make the most of my home workouts?

A BIG ole' thank you (GIVEAWAY)

Let us eat cake

This is the cake I made for my husband's birthday last night:



Looks ridiculous, doesn't it?

Moist chocolate cake, with a rich, creamy cream cheese frosting.

Yes, I had a slice.

Because the best part of this cake? One serving is 309 calories - easily worked into my daily calorie total.

You know you want it....check out the recipe here!

Happy, happy Birthday, Baby....

Today is my hubby's birthday. We were born 6 weeks apart (I'm a Cougar!). We lived across the Hudson River from each other our whole lives, but only met in NYC in 1999.


We met through Yahoo! Personals. Yup - internet dating. I posted a profile to keep my best friend "company", she really wanted to do it, but I was skeptical. And for good reason - I got a lot of crazies emailing me. My hubby stood out as one of the "normal" ones (if I had only known...)


The first time we met in person, I knew he was "the one".


We had our first kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve, 1999 - at the turn of the Millenium. We've been together ever since!

So today I'll be wrapping his presents and baking a cake (and if it comes out good, I'll share it with all of you because it is a LOW FAT cake! Shhh...don't tell my guy.) My girls will make birthday cards, and we'll spend the evening opening presents and eating cake. On Saturday I'm taking him out on a proper "date", dinner and a movie, natch.


Happy Birthday, B! I love you like no other - you are my best friend, my soul mate, my biggest cheerleader and my lifeline (in every way). I hope you have a wonderful day, and I hope to celebrate many, many, many more birthdays with you.

One bite at a time

Hello, my friends! How is your Monday going?

I'm having a good day today! After I wrote my post yesterday, I immediately started back on my plan. I tracked my food all day, stayed away from the sugar, and came in under my target calories! Today's proving to be the same - good food, no sugar, and a trip to the gym tonight.

I got such incredible, supportive, amazing comments from all of you yesterday, and I just wanted to say thank you very, very much! I've said it before and I'll say it again - this blogging community is as important to my success as my diet plan and exercise. Without you all, I don't think I would still be doing this, so again - THANK YOU!

And if you're struggling with your own weight loss journey, if you've been bouncing around the same weight for weeks, or feel like you've lost your commitment, take the time to read the comments I got on yesterday's post. They are inspiring and truthful, and apply to anyone who's having a difficult time right now.

As a really big thank you for all of your support, I'm planning another GIVEAWAY for this week!! Keep on the lookout for the announcement!

Okay, my friends - I'm off to finish my day out strong. Have a great one!

P.S. The picture in this post has nothing to do with the post itself - I just thought it was a fun picture of my 3 year old!

Am I a failure?

Hi guys! I'm posting on a Sunday because I have a confession to make, and I figured it would be better get it out there NOW.

I have completely failed at the Bust the Sugar Cravings challenge.

I feel...disappointed. Frustrated. Slow. Confused. Ashamed. Dejected. SCARED.

I'm scared because I've been floundering for weeks now. My weight is slowly creeping up, and yet I continue to eat large quantities of food.

I stopped tracking my meals.

I haven't been to the gym in over a week.

So...what do I do, kids? How many times am I going to post about my failure to get back on track? How many times am I going to say "I got my mojo back!" "Starting again!" "I'm not giving up!"?

As many times as it takes.

Because you see, this much I know: I only fail when I give up.

But, it's time to give this girls some tough love. Because I'm getting lazy and I'm not giving myself my time and the commitment I had when I first started this journey back in April. Now, it's time to get back to the gym, time to get the Dark Chocolate Dreams out of the cabinet, time to start using SparkPeople again.

It's funny: I just started writing as the Weight Loss Examiner for my region, and I feel like a hypocrite. Here I am writing about easy steps to start losing weight, while I struggle with my own issues. It's time I started listening to my own advice!

And so, I start over yet again. Right now, with the next meal. And I will concentrate on each meal, and will try to make good decisions.

I hope you all can understand, and will continue to support me as I work through this. I'm not writing this to get sympathy, but I want to be truthful and accountable. The support I receive through this blog is incredible, and I would be doing myself and you a disservice if I didn't come clean about my recent actions.

Just know that I write this also as I way to remind myself that I am strong enough to overcome this problem. I know that I am not a failure, and I am NOT giving up!

Weigh in day plus my Millionaire episode

Howdy, friends! TGIF, yeah?

So, today's my weigh in day, and well...it twas not pretty.

216.8, up 1.2 pounds this week. Another gain. Blech.

Today is day 1 of the Bust the Sugar Cravings Challenge! From now until Thanksgiving, I am shunning chocolate, sweets and artificial sweeteners. Hallie from For Real This Time! suggested this little challenge and is also participating, as well as Ellen from Weighting Around! Feel free to check in on us to make sure we're keeping those sugar demons away.

So far this morning I'm drinking my coffee sans Splenda (blech), and had eggs with some prunes. Well, not together in the same dish...that would be weird.

So, for those of you who asked, here is my Millionaire episode! Sorry it's in bits - I couldn't figure out how to get it all on one stream.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend! I'll be posting updates on the Sugar Cravings challenge this weekend to keep myself accountable.

Beating the Sugar Craving Demons

Hi, everyone! Thank you all for the great comments and suggestions regarding my issues with sugar and chocolate. Once again you proved just how valuable this blogging thing is!

I got several different suggestions for how to conquer this latest demon. Marisa said to just work through it and take it day by day. Secretia thought some...uh..."manual stimulation" would take my mind off of things! She definitely gets the prize for most original suggestion.

Roder said that it's just a matter of refusing to eat sugar for a few days, and the cravings would go away. Actually, the term he used was to "suck it up and go a day or two without"...

The Falat Family of 5 suggested some serious workouts, thinking that after all that work I'd be less likely to eat something unhealthy.

And my girl Hallie suggested a little challenge where we swear off the sweet stuff together.

I wanted to share these suggestions because I got several comments from those of you who are dealing with the same issues right now. I hope you find some suggestions useful!

I'm going to take on Hallie's challenge and just try to stay away from the sweets and chocolate for a couple of weeks. There's exactly 2 weeks until Thanksgiving (can you believe that?), so I think that's a good goal.

2 weeks of NO chocolate, NO added sugar, NO artificial sweeteners. I have to start tomorrow because I had a bit of sugar in my coffee today, lol!

Anyone else want to join in? I don't know if this needs to be an "official" challenge, but we could check in on each other to make sure we're sticking to it. Let's call it Bust the Sugar Cravings Challenge!

Good Intentions

Every morning, I start out with good intentions.

Today, I'm going to stick to my calorie level.

Today, I am going to stay away from sugar.

Today, I am going to the gym.

Those good intentions only get me so far - until about lunch. Then it's a sugar / carb / chocolate free-for-all. Right now, I'm sitting next to an empty bowl that once held a microwave chocolate cake (for 2). I ate the whole thing, less than an hour after having my lunch.

What gives??

I've got to get these cravings under control. I'm really trying to understand why I'm eating chocolate and sugar almost every day.

I'm going to cut out the artificial sweeteners all together. Right now, I really only have it in the morning with my coffee (Splenda), so I'm going to leave it out for a few days and see if it helps.

Any other suggestions?? Should I take a supplement? I'm at a loss here, but I'm afraid this is going to turn into something much worse if I don't stop it now...

Wordless Wednesday: Pure Joy

I'm at a loss for words today (shocker!) - so I thought I would share one of my favorite pictures:

Whenever I see this picture, I think "pure joy".

Perspective

You know, this weight loss thing is a big deal for me right now. I think about it - a lot. I worry about my weigh-ins, what I'm going to eat on special occasions, if I can get to the gym, etc.

This post by Hanlie, however, put a lot of things in perspective for me. Please go and read it, and take away from it that most of what we deal with in life should be embraced, not feared.

The courage to live

Weight Loss Plus Weekends Equals Massive FAIL

Hidie-ho, good people! How the heck are ya? Did you eat well, exercise, take care of yourself this weekend?

I did none of those things.

This weekend entailed two trips to visit family - in-laws on Saturday, my family on Sunday. Both trips were for major events: Saturday was a funeral (my husband's Great Uncle), Sunday was a Christening (for my twin baby cousins). Talk about the circle of life - remembering the life of someone who lived to be 100, and celebrating the start of two new little lives.

Saturday I was on my own with the girls at my in-law's house while they went to the funeral services. Left in a house that is NOT on a diet, which meant lots of chips, cookies, cheese, etc. I'm sure you can conclude what happened there.

Sunday was a 5 course dinner after the Christening, which was delicious, but a LOT of food - and yes, I ate it all.

Where did my resolve go? Why do I let it just disappear at times like these? These are the mysteries that I'm still working to discover. I should have prepared for my in-law's house by bringing my own food - lesson learned. Going to a function like the Christening just requires that I remain focused and present, and STOP EATING when I'm full.

So, now it's Monday. I'm coming off a 1/2 pound gain from Friday, and 2 days of eating with abandon (and no exercise, natch). I'm going to try to make up for it by eating 1,200 calories a day for the next four days. Just until my weigh-in on Friday, just to get my head back in the game. Hopefully I can head off another gain this week at least, and get back on track!

My Millionaire Experience (And Weigh In Day)

Hi everyone! So...how did your week go? Did you eat well, drink your water and sweat it out?

I did - and I gained 1/2 pound this week. WTH?? Oh well - there's always next week. Sometimes the scale just doesn't want to give it up - hopefully this means a BIG loss next week!

Thanks to everyone who watched my Millionaire episode yesterday! I got such wonderful emails, comments and tweets. Yesterday reminded just how lucky I really am. Not only did I get a chance to play the game, but to see the outpouring of well-wishes and love from my family and friends (both online and INL) - I was humbled and touched.

For those of you that couldn't watch yesterday, I walked away from the game with a $15,000 check! I got a couple of questions that tripped me up. The expert, Joel Stein, was absolutely NO help, and my husband was my lifeline and saved the day on the $12,500 question! The $25,000 question was something I just did not know, and even though I had a guess (which turned out to be right), I didn't want to risk what I had already won.

What did I learn from being on Millionaire?

• Your brains leak out of your head when you're in a situation like that! Between the lights and music, the audience, the time clock and the fact that you're on TV, I was a bundle of nerves! I will never judge a contestant on another show if they freak on a simple question ever again.
  

• I think I hide my nerves well! I looked a little nervous in the beginning, but overall I think I looked pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

• Meredith Vieira is the NICEST, sweetest person! Behind the scenes she was just as friendly and lovely as she is on camera. I even got a note from her after the show!

• Do not tell a game show host you plan on trying for another baby unless you want the entire WORLD to know - because that's exactly what Meredith said to me at one point in the game! I got several emails asking me when they could expect baby #3, lol!

• $15K is not enough to move out of my house, but it's enough to go on a nice vacation for the first time since my oldest was conceived. And, it will come in handy when we have to buy a mini-van for that new baby!
  

I'm going to try to figure out how to get the show online - if I do, I'll let you all know.

This weekend is going to be spent with both sides of our families - and a true example of the circle of life. Tomorrow we have a funeral for my husband's great Uncle - who turned 100 just before he passed away. Then on Sunday, we have a christening for my cousin's twins - a celebration of their dedication to God!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend - be good to yourselves!

7 1/2 Minutes of Fame

Well, today's the day! At 12:30PM EST I'll be watching myself on TV, probably with my girls crying in the background because I'm interrupting "Dragon Tales"! On to other things...

I had a killer workout last night, and on a night when I really didn't feel like going to the gym. I pushed myself hard, and kept my heart rate up over 140 for most of the hour! I felt like a Million bucks after that workout, ha ha ha.

The other night my hubby started to rub my shoulders while I was using the computer, and he said, "Oo, you're all bony up here!"

BONY?!

I've never been bony in my life! I've been called many things, but "bony" was NEVER one of them. I thought that was a nice little NSV (non-scale victory). I can definitely see the shadow of a clavicle bone coming through...

Not sure how I'm going to do for my weigh-in tomorrow. I've been sort of snacky the last couple of days, so we'll see...

Oh, and if you happen to watch my show today, let me know what you think! :-)

I'm Only Human

Happy Hump Day, Peeps!!

This is gonna be another quickie, Wednesdays seem to be a hard day for me to post something meaningful, lol.

I hit over 200 followers yesterday! WOW. I never imagined so many people would want to read my ramblings on this blog. Thank you to all of you, and a big ole HOLLA to the newbies!

The big news in my life these days: My Who Wants to be a Millionaire episode airs tomorrow!!! I'm so happy it's finally here. Mostly because now I can get my check, lol!

If you're interested in seeing me on TV, check your local listings here to find out what time and channel the show is on in your neck of the woods. On Friday, I plan on doing a little recap of the day I was on the show.

So why the title of today's post? Because I succumbed to the Halloween candy yesterday. There was a bag of candy that didn't make it to my husband's office (don't know how that happened), and it got the best of me yesterday.

Oh well. Like I said, I'm only human, and I didn't gorge on it, just had a few pieces. Whatcha gonna do? Live and learn, I guess!

Okay, I'm audi 5000, peeps. Word up to my homies. Peace!

Loser Envy - Can I Be At Peace With My Own Rate of Weight Loss?

I love this weight loss / healthy living blog community that we all live in. The support I've received since starting WMBS has been incredible...you all just get it, and I know I can count on you for advice, support or sometimes a good, swift kick in the butt.

However, one of the downfalls to reading so many blogs is what I call "loser envy". Specifically, it's that little pang of jealousy and disappointment I feel when I read about someone who is losing weight fast and consistently.

Because that is so not me.

If you've been here since the beginning, you know I've hit my own little "bumps" in the road. If you're a new reader, you can catch up here and here. In between, I've done pretty well, but those setbacks were extended and major, and resulted in weeks of not losing anything.

As I wrote my 6 month milestone post, I thought about my rate of weight loss, and how originally I wanted to be 50 pounds down at this point in my journey. And I know I'm not alone - I've read numerous posts from other bloggers about their disappointment in their own rates of weight loss.

I wonder if this is "Biggest Loser Syndrome"...are we all just looking to lose massive amounts of weight each week like they do on TV?

I don't think this is the case for me. I'm quite happy with my 2 pound losses. I just wish they happened every week from April 30th until now. BUT - that's not to say I'm not happy with what I've actually lost. 30+ pounds is nothing to sneeze at, people.

I think I just need to remind myself that everyone is different. Everyone gains weight and loses weight for different reasons, in different ways, and at different rates. Not everyone has had the stresses in my life that I've had. Some people have had it worse, some better. And some people don't deal with stress the same way I do (*cough* binge eating *cough*).

We are each unique and just as we all must customize our eating and lifestyles, we must also accept that how we lose weight is going to be different.

So if you're losing 1/2 or 1 pound per week, or per month, don't be hard on yourself. If you are eating well and moving more, you will lose your weight. Every pound down is a step in the right direction!

Candy Begone!

Where, oh where, did the weekend just go? Wasn't it just Friday? Even with that extra hour, this weekend went by way too fast.

Check out my little witches:


Aren't they just the cutest? And just to show you I have the best mom in the world...those awesome witch costumes? She made them. With her own two hands (and a sewing machine). Amazing, no? The poor woman slept for about an hour the night before finishing them, though - good thing the girls loved the outfits!!!

So, I didn't have just 5 pieces of candy on Halloween. Now, don't shake your disappointed head at me just yet...

I had only 1 piece. Just one little Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

ONE!!!! I was very, very proud of myself Saturday night, I have to tell you. And now, the candy must go. I'm sending my hubby into work with a sack - the girls have a couple of pieces to enjoy, but the rest must go before "Aunt Flow" arrives next week!

And to distract you from the fact that I am not posting progress pictures today, here are a few more shots of my little cuties:



What? You still want to know why I don't have new progress pics? *sigh* Okay, I'll tell. I realized that the last time I took progress pictures I was nearly the same weight as I am right now, so I want to wait until I'm down a few more pounds so I can really see a difference. Give me a few weeks, I'll have new pics before the end of the month, scout's honor.

In the meantime, I did do some measurements:

04.30.09 Starting Measurements
Waist = 43"
Hips = 50.75"
Thigh = 28.5"
Upper Arm = 15.25"

11.02.09 Measurements
Waist = 39" (-4")
Hips = 45.5" (-5.25")
Thigh = 24.5" (-4")
Upper Arm = 14.75" (-.5")

Total inches lost = 13.75"

Lookin' good, eh? I'm really hoping I get another 2 pound loss this week, 'cause that would put me at an all-time low. I've spent the last 3 weeks battling the weight I gained while I was "off the wagon", so it will be nice to get into some new low numbers again.

Alrighty peeps! I'm off to do my thing. Have a great day! Drink your water, eat your veggies, and be kind to yo self, yo.
