Give It Another Go

Last week at the office we started a weight loss challenge. It will run for the next 11 weeks and I have set a personal goal of 20 lbs. Getting down to this weight would be lower than most people in Houston have ever seen me. I always think that people see me the way my high school buddies do, remembering the "Mollie" that was back in the glory days. That's not the case. When we moved to Houston in 2005 I was already up to 185 lbs. That will be my next goal, but we have to work on these 20 lbs first. Today's struggle is around craving...I am strong enough not to give in to these cravings.

That Escalated Quickly

I don’t even know what to think about the past 40 days. We had a fun day at the rodeo with the family and then I took off for a few days in Dallas for work. The morning I left the rodeo cancelled the remainder of the event and from that point Coronavirus was the talk of the town...the country...the world. We received word that the kids would remain out of school for another week. Double Spring Break sounded pretty good and kids enjoyed extra days off. The date to return to school was extended until April 14th and restaurants closed. With more time at home, we decided to hire a team to cover our patio for backyard enjoyment. The first couple of weeks were busy with family game nights and long walks. The temperatures have been mild and external distractions disappeared. Hubby is working from home and I continued to go to the office. This allowed me to have connection to Co-workers during stressful times that has seen many sent home on furlough due to business closures across the coun...

Consistently Inconsistent

This behavior follows me where ever I go...cleaning, raising kids, having a sweet spirit, excercising and eating. I have a plan and I work the plan for a few days and before I know it I throw the plan out the window and let James Coney Island come in my car window. I spoke to friends at work about being prepared and eating some healthy snacks before leaving the office, but time got away from me and 1 1/2 hours later I am stuffing my face with who knows how many calories (they don't have nutritional info online). Today I weigh in at 211.8 lbs.
