18 Things Mentally Strong People Do

18 Things Mentally Strong People Do (that most people don't).

Why We Break New Years Resolutions

Instead of making a list of resolutions. Make a list of goals. What's the difference, you may ask. Resolutions are promises you make to yourself - and promises can be broken. Goals are slightly different, because goals come with a game plan, a deadline and often a reward awaits those of us who meet our goals. 

If weight loss is part of list, your reward may be the promise of a new wardrobe, when you reach your goal - or simply how you'll look and feel! Here is an interesting article about why we break our New Year's resolutions and how to keep ourselves on track.

Cheers! And here's to a happy and healthy 2015!

Down 55lbs! Getting through the holidays without putting on any weight!

So, I made it through Thanksgiving weekend - yes, we might as well call it Thanksgiving weekend, because we are pretty much stuffing ourselves with leftovers throughout the weekend and if we're lucky, we're taking turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread to lunch the following Monday (sans the mayo). Lucky for me, I only put on two or three pounds, but I quickly took it off (maybe it was water weight). The following Monday, I went to the gym and went all out on my workout.

I am happy to report that my weight has been pretty much stabilized at 145 lbs. I'm not upset about that. I'm just happy to not be gaining any weight. Enjoying the gym this holiday season, because it is empty! I have all the weights and equipment I want at my disposal! 

Hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday season!

It's Never Too Late!

Progress Photos

I took the summer off from from my weight loss quest. I still did my exercise. I just wasn't so strict on my eating program, but I still managed to lose another ten pounds. Now I'm on my program full steam, so I can drop that last 25 lbs and get into the best shape of my life! 

Here is a "before, during and after" photo of me. The last photo was taken in August. 
Cheers!
