Week 7 – back at it

I’m pleased to say that even with my consumption of too much alcohol last Saturday, I still managed to lose 1.5 lbs this week, for a total of 27.5 lbs. Drinking the alcohol kicked me out of ketosis and that took about 3 days to get back into. Ketosis helps burn fat, so when you [...]

Looking for motivators

Let’s face it, we all need motivation to get things done. Now that I’m happily to 25 pounds of weight lost so far, I’m looking for motivators/rewards for upcoming milestones. When I hit 25 pounds, I rewarded myself with some beer. That definitely has slowed my weight loss down this week as my body wasn’t [...]

Week 6 – back on track

100_2355

Week six is in the books and I am super proud to say that today I am officially down 25 pounds!!! That’s 1/3 of the way to my goal, in SIX weeks! Wouldn’t it be awesome if in only 12 more weeks I could be at my goal? I won’t hold my breath, and I’ll [...]

Week 5 – Blah

Week 4 – keep it up!

Week four is officially in the books today, and I weighed in at 207, making me down 21 lbs. I am comfortably in size 16′s. But you know what? I really don’t feel I look any different. But then again, 21 pounds on someone who started at 228 compared to 21 pounds on someone who [...]

KOR One Water Vessel Review & Giveaway – CLOSED

We all know how much I love drinking my water. I drink about 80-90oz a day right now, so I have multiple bottles in the fridge ready for me to take out when I finish another one. One of my favorites is my KOR water vessel. KOR sent me a bottle in Sawgrass Green (you [...]
