Day 12: Exhausted!
I developed a competitive drive at 11:00 pm tonight. My desire to be the leader of my fitbit challenge group, pushed me to do 3000 steps before midnight! I did it, but I’m paying the price…I’m so sleepy right now, I could lay down on my kitchen table and go…

Day 10: Cure for Cravings…Chili!!
Ok, I admit it, I’m a foodie. I like to eat and in large quantities, so to help me work on replacing that, I eat larger than life salads. Hoping the bulk (lettuce, cucumbers, etc.) will satisfy my internal meter. It works for the most part, but salad gets a…
Day 9: Interesting Monday
I had an interesting Monday. I the day started feeling strong because of the decision I made to discard the bread from a sausage, egg, & cheese croissant (the reason I was eating it in the first place is irrelevant…lol). I felt empowered!! I had fruit to help fill in…
Day 8: Merry Fit-Mas: Why Walmart…Why!!??
Walmart has some type of hold on my pocket book! Lol…I go in for 4 things and come out with 20 things! So, as I walked down the pasta/ Ravioli/Hamburger Helper aisle, all I could hear in my spirit was “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow…
Day 7: Talked Myself out of Popeyes
I talked myself out of going to Popeyes and I went to Wendy’s instead. I had chili & a bacon ranch salad (complex carb free). Major win for me…it’s all about the choices you make. I’m looking into trying some different veggie recipes…stay tuned! So: 64 ounces of water, 3…

Day 4: Merry Fit-Mas Eating Update
MY LORD!!!! I had bouts of sadness today dealing with not being able eat my “fun foods”!! I had to PRAY constantly, get support & talk out my feelings. Especially after I read the article I posted about “How to Stop Eating Your Emotions”. I reminded myself why I’m on…
Day 3: Merry Fit-Mas Eating Update
WHEW!!! I really wish loosing weight was easier…but it’s not. I have to CONSTANTLY remind myself why I’m not eating that piece of cake or stuffing that pot of rice down my throat. So: 88 oz H2O, 3 meals, 7 servings of veggies/fruit, stayed within caloric intake. I fought off…
