Well, I am 2/3 there! Everything In....I just have to get the moderation part down!
No seriously - some days - that's what is like! I do seem to binge and in my head I am saying "don't do it!" "have a cup of tea or go to bed!" but nooooo.....I grab the chips and turn on the TV and off I go. What is wrong with me???
I just signed up with an online weight-loss trainer so this is my first day. I am already about an hour behind eating meal #2! Way to go me!
Ahh! On a better note - I checked my heart rate monitor on Monday and I had burned 2500 calories last week!!! Almost a pound!

This is hard!
Man! Writing a blog is hard work! Just about at hard as losing weight! It is kind of the same thing though...lots of great ideas and good intentions but poor to non-existent follow through.
I think that I am going to ask a friend of mine to be my personal trainer. She has successfully lost weight 3 times in her life- once when she first decided to get in shape and two more times after she had her 2 boys (one of which is under 1 years old!). I hope she says yes because I think that I need some accountability. I ate a whole banana cream pie (minus the whip cream and bananas) in 2.5 days. Mega binge...and it grosses me out. I seem to go 2 steps forward and 5 steps back. Disgusting.
We are away on a road trip and you know that is a recipe for disaster! I should have packed a cooler but of course got running behind and didn't. A lot of my problem in the vehicle is boredom. I don't eat too much when my husband is with me ...I always think he is judging me..but he didn't come with me and the kids this time so it is set up to be a free for all...help!!!

Fitness Freaks For Friday - Oxygen Magazie
I have a little magazine hoarding problem/fetish/obsession. I love magazines! I read fitness magazines, cooking magazines, scrapbooking magazines, general interest magazines, travel magazines, fashion magazines, gossip magazines...well, you get the picture!
Anyways, I think that Oxygen magazine is the most consistent for serious, useable fitness and nutrition information. I have tried (and like) M+H Hers, Fitness, Self, Shape etc. but always come back to Oxygen. I have bought their special editions but if you keep old magazines for reference, you will find that there really is nothing new in the special editions - they are just a collection of magazine articles but they are put together in a nice format. Oxygen is active on twitter too, I follow them over there. Their website great and I have subscribed to the digital edtion of the magazine but haven't figured out how to access it. I am not sure about their Facebook presence but they are probably there too! I follow them on pinterest but they don't seem to be too active...I should check it out a bit better before I say that. My only complaint about Oxygen is that for all its preaching about "the Eat-Clean Lifestyle", there is not one advertisment for food products - they are all (IMHO) quick fix supplements and pills. As I said, I like magazines, and in lots of other magazines - there are advertisments for foods - avacados, milk, almonds, etc. so why doesn't Oxygen get these sponsors? Just sayin'...!

Other than that - they are great! Check them out! I have a lot of respect for Tosca, Jaime, Stacey and the rest of the crew. RIP Robert Kennedy.
