In my dreams I have a beautiful garden.  I wake up early to tend to it, the dew dripping off the leaves as I reach down and pluck perfect tomatoes, peppers and zucchini.  I make homemade pasta sauce, salsa and zucchini bread with my bounty. Turns out I have a black thumb though.  Plants and gardens come to my house to die.  It is nice...

Today is the official start day out round 2 of the DietBet.  Welcome Kris M. to the game!  We are now up to an $800 pot and we have 32 players – 18 of which are blog readers and friends so I am the MVP of the Game – woop! I have to say i thoroughly enjoyed having a rest day yesterday, but I am...

When I first met Tony he was a divorced father of a 10 year old son.  His parents had just retired to Florida, yet their house was still on the market here, so he lived there before the house was sold.  Coolest part about the house?  It had an indoor pool!  I know! So before we got married we’d live at my house during the...

I forgot to ask Tony to take a full body picture of my yesterday, so my mirror had to stand in. Not sure if they will accept my mirror picture, because you can’t really see my face!  At the end of Round 1, I was 167.6, for a loss of 8.2 for the month of June. This time? I am up .6 – but I...

Just one more day to join the DietBet!  First WI is tomorrow and the game begins on July 13.  Lucky to have this great group join in the last couple days! Jacky, Julie, Debbi, Carol, Sam, Mari, Randi, Ann, Peggy, Bryan, Anna.  We are doing to kick some ass these next 30 days! Yesterday was a busy morning!  I couldn’t say anything yesterday, but we...

Do you guys watch Extreme Weight Loss with Chris Powell?  I had a couple episodes on the DVR when I was on vacation and watched the one about Ryan from Appleton, Wisconsin. He is 23.  He lives with his parents and was lost after he lost his arm in a car accident.  He’d never ridden a bike in his life and was simply lost.  But...

I have to admit that I was so sad that I had to set my alarm last night.  I was getting used to waking up whenever I wanted to!  Tony and I had a great weekend.  It was nice coming home from vacation and still having the weekend before having to head back to work. Saturday morning Tony made me his famous eggs with leftover...

Hello!  I’ve missed you this past week.  I think this is the longest blogging break I’ve had in nearly 5 years!  But I have to say, being a week without internet was a good thing.  The only thing I was able to do on my phone was text Tony and talk to him at night.  And I survived!  Thanks though to the dozens of people...

I guess money motivates me.  I joined my friend Helen’s DietBet last month hoping it would motivate me to make better choices, ditch the wine (in summer – I know!) and get my butt in gear. May 31: 175.8  June 29? I lost 8.2 pounds in 30 days!!!!    Before and after(love my eyes being closed!)  – I think you can tell a difference?!  I...

I can’t believe the month of June is almost over!  And I never knew I could stick with my program for the whole month.  I have to say, I am a bit proud of myself!  And I loved walking into the living room, after finishing my Insanity, dripping with sweat and Tony giving me high fives!  He’s the best cheerleader I could ever have.  ...
