About Me

A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Weight Loss Progress

Despite being sick and not working out this past week, I weighed-in one pound less today. I've noticed a big difference in my energy level now that I try to work out on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes. I stopped weighing myself daily, so prior to getting this cold, I may have lost even more weight! It's been days since I've felt well enough to get on the treadmill, but tomorrow I shall try again.

I have 21 more pounds to go, but honesty if I loose ten more pounds, I'd really feel much better physically. I'm not sure how necessary getting rail thin would be at my age. I have no plans on wearing a bikini anytime in the future. ;)

Congratulations on losing weight but I am sorry that you have been sick. You are doing much better than I am with your weight loss. I am having a few problems right now tht are preventing me from walking and exercising but I plan to have that seen about after September 12th (my son's wedding). Like you, I don't have any future plans to wear a bikini either, I just want to feel better. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are feeling better soon.

Blessing,
Elizabeth

Bravo Alexandra!

Keep up the healthy habits. You are such an inspiration.

Thanks! I grudgingly admit that structured exercise is the key. I hate to take the time to do it, but it's the only way I've been able to move my metabolism.

Ugh. I need to lose weight! I am proud of your commitment to exercise. It is inspiring and I am trying to do the very same thing.

God bless!
