I can see for miles…

Ten miles on the bike this morning…not bad. I believe I can do more- but this humidity is killing me.  I can’t wait for some cooler weather!  I’m debating doing an “organized” bike ride in October.  In my head I have no problems signing up for the 50 mile ride…but after just 10 miles, I…

I’m a Slacker

I’ve been neglecting my blog…and for that matter…myself. It’s been a whirlwind of a month so far…and I’m so not in the mood to do anything except sleep. Honestly, I am tired, beat, wore out and exhausted. Let’s see…last we left off I was working out daily, eating better…and then I went on vacation. We…

The Battle Of The Ball

Another 6am YMCA visit…MUSCLE TONING….yippie!! I’ve become one with the barbell- but for the life of me, I can’t understand the exercise ball!

Reasons why I LOVE McDonald’s

The Beginning of the End

I’m tired of my Wii Fit calling me “obese.” It’s time I stop using the excuse, “I just had a baby.” (especially since he turned three in February!!) My name is Jen and I’m on a mission to lose weight. Pounds don’t matter so much as clothes size.  I have way to many cute size…
