Okay, so I'm up and moving, but still feeling sluggish from my travel. You wouldn't think that only a two-hour time difference would squirrel you up much, but it seemed it was harder to adjust. Up late, up early, time change, yep, all crazy right now, but my eating...
Yeah me! Down three pounds and one percent body fat. That's even going to a writer's convention and drinking alcohol. Apparently, I didn't drink too much and walked quite a bit. What a great week. I attended the Romantic Times Book Lover's Convention in Los...

Wheeeeeee! It's the beginning of the new Mamavation Challenge and I've thrown my name in the hat for the next round. Now, to clarify, I did screw up. I didn't post my after pictures by the Wednesday of the last week and got disqualified. Live and learn and go on,...
It seems I'm going to stay about right here with my weight as the rest of my body shifts around during this initial process. In a way I'm frustrated and in another I'm thankful. Yes, I'd like to be 10 pounds lighter by now, but I'm not heavier, which is major. Let me...
