2 pounds lost, 33 to go!

***Sigh*** Ending week 5 with only a 2 pound total weightloss since starting this journey. I'm 5.5 pounds behind schedule!! I didn't get a chance to exercise this week, but I did incorporate the all fruit diet that I've been avoiding. Since I'm not finding the time to exercise, I replace the more caloric meals (breakfast & lunch only) w/ fruit each day. I have to admit (with the exception of not exercising last week) I was a bit more disciplined when it came to eating. I'm getting impatient, though. I'm ready to shed these pounds!!!

Desperate Measures


...Well the title Desperate Measures may be a little extreme, but I'm struggling to find time to exercise so I've resorted to a weightloss method I've used off and on for about 9 years now. I just basically eat fruit all day and all afternoon. I fill my purse up w/ fruit each morning Monday thru Friday and eat it whenever I get hungry. I try to eat a sensible after school snack and dinner. The weightloss results aren't lasting b/c I get sick of eating nothing but fruit and cannot even bear the thought of looking at it!! I end up going back to my old habits and then the weight creeps back. I feel I need to do this for now b/c my calorie intake is exceeding the calories that I burn. Hopefully, I'll establish an exercise regimen sooner than later.....

TGIF! Michael Jackson Tribute Karaoke

TGIF!! It has been a LONG and tiring week and I am so grateful the weekend is here. They're usually a blur and never long enough, but we try to make the most out of them. We've got a very busy weekend ahead of us so the children and I decided to let off some steam and do a song and dance tribute to MJ. My oldest son selected the song. My children wear my nerves at times, but I thank the Lord for them.
