52 Mondays came to me in a fit of New years resolution fury. It seems I am always starting my "diet" or exercise plan on "Monday"! Well lots of "Mondays" have come and gone and my butt and thighs are still as thick as a Chick-filet shake (you know what I'm talking about!!) That is when I thought OK there are 52 Mondays in year...52 is a doable number of making small changing in my life that will hopefully change to number on the scale in a downward fashion. Come join us on the journey of 52 Mondays to getting our butt, thighs and almost everything else that shake and moves a little smaller. If want to be a contributor (and you know you do) just leave a comment and I will add you to the list of contributors! This is a blog were we can share our successes and failures on the hard journey of weight loss and just plain physical wellness.

Week 10........


Ok so another week has come and gone. The next two weeks are going to be crazy busy but hopefully we will survive. Tom got called to go to Dallas with his work for Tues-Friday of this week and then again Mon-Thurs of next week. This should make for an interesting couple of weeks. It will all work out though. I am down another 1.5lbs this week which is more of less a miracle considering that we spent the whole weekend snarf snarfing (thundercats hooooooh!!!) I am hoping to lose another 1.5lbs this week and try and exercise. Total weight loss 16lbs.

Mmmmm...........Gyros.....


I am hungry and craving a gyro. Yes,this evil creation that led to the 40lb weight gain during my pregnancy with Riley. I have yet to find a good greek joint in the area so that helps but I do have to go to Costco today and there is a new greek joint on the way that is screaming my name. But I won't do it...I will resist and try and be content with a ham sandwhich or something as equally boring. But I really want a gyro....

Week 8 and 9................................................



So I am wondering if anyone is out there? I am assuming that we are all super busy since I have been only posting every two weeks. I am down another 3 lbs so that is great. Grand total is 14.5lbs in 9 weeks. I wish it was closer to 18lbs. But I am averaging a little over 1.5 lbs a week so that is good...baby steps right? I am hoping to push it into high gear and hit another 10lbs by the time we go one our cruise. We have 40 days until we embark so I am going to have to work hard. I have not been exercising as often as I should be but I have noticed that it has been easier watching what I am eating. This weekend was actually really good and I wasn't finding myself just snarfing everything in site. I have finally noticed in some of my clothes that they are fitting better. I have noticed the most weight lost in my tummy area. So my goals for this week are stay on plan, and get in atleast 3 days of exercise. I am working a weird schedule this week (mon. tues. wed.) So I will have a nice long weekend to get in some workouts. I will try and post an update mid week and then post on Monday (no more of these week long lapses). Until then....
