About Me

My photo
I'm a work-at-home mom of two beautiful daughters, ages three and six. I'm also a wife to a man I've known for 25 years, dated for 6 and married to for 13 in June. I keep very busy with all of the above and figured why not add another hobby/task to the list: Blogging.

The Last 15

The last 15. That's what's left. It may not sound like a lot, but for me it is.  If I could lose that, I would be back to my pre-Ella weight. I originally started with needing to lose 30 pounds one year ago November, but have only managed to get down 15 of the 30. I am now trying harder to get rid of the last 15.  If I can pull that off, I know I'll feel better. Plus I have a full closet of like-new clothes waiting to be worn once again. 

My new aid in this journey: the elliptical.  I have only managed to use it once per week for 30 to 60 minutes. That's not going to work.  I am now vowing to use my new aid a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes, 3 times per week. I have other aids I plan to use in conjunction, but the elliptical has been most successful for me in the past. I've now cut out pop (well down to on-occasion) and my favorite chocolate treat.  I'm back to eating the not-so-tasty-but-better-for-you foods.  I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I know it's going to take a while. Afterall, I didn't put on all of this weight overnight.

So here's to a new me, once again. And here's to the last 15.

Hello new 'friend.'

    You can do it!! giving up the pop is huge..really. Everytime I do I always drop weight, I think the carbonation makes you retain water too.
    My big thing I need to cut out is SUGAR. I love it and can't seem to get enough. I have tried cutting out refined sugar, but then I make sugar cookies for work or Kyra's school and I eat 10..blah.
    I am with you in spirit if not in body :0)
