Fat isn’t just a state of body, it’s also a state of mind. And it’s a scary state of mind because once you start thinking of yourself as fat, it’s VERY hard to stop thinking of yourself that way. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think I was fat. Even when I was […]

I’m still here. I’m still losing. I’m down almost 35 lbs and depending on whether I’m wearing a skirt or jeans, 2-3 sizes. It’s amazing the difference in my body. I don’t feel that different, but when I look at myself in my pretty underwear (because I can now wear pretty underwear) I think I’m […]
The summer is over. The book has launched. (have you bought your two copies yet? why not?) and now I’m back. I’m officially down 35 lbs from January. I’m a happy girl about that. But I’m getting flabby because my workouts have been sparse and erratic. Need to get back to a regular routine. It […]

First of all, a huge shout out to CK for taking the blogging reins and running with them while I was at conference in DC last week. She is a rockstar. I had planned to blog as soon as I returned, but then promptly came down with the plague. Unfortunately, I did not vitamin up […]
Dear Scale (again), You thought you could piss me off this morning when you gave me the finger, didn’t you? I bet you thought if you just showed a teensy bit of progress (fucking half pound. screw you) that I’d give up and dive into a bowl of cheese dip and a growler of Diamond […]
Dear Scale, Thanks. Seriously. That -1/2 pound that you moved this morning really makes all that hard work, my sore ass, and the lack of booze worth it. I promise, it didn’t feel like a fuck you at all. Loathe Love, Mel
Working out has been good. I haven’t started back running yet, but I am walking 1.5 hours 3-4 days a week, plus the circuit training at the gym. And last week, I added Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video to my workout. It’s 20 pretty intense minutes and it’s working. Well, my body shape is […]

So in my 12 lb quest, I’m now down 2. So that means I have 10 left to lose by Aug 2nd. I’ve worked out 3 out of the 4 days this week so far. Circuit training, abs, and walking from 45 mins-1.5 hours. It’s working. I feel better. I look better. And I wanna […]
I have 4.5 weeks until my book launch party. I have a goal of losing 12 lbs between now and then. IF I accomplish that goal, I will be at my lowest weight in 12 years. Yes, since before I had my last child. You see, I didn’t lose the baby fat after I gave […]
I’m baaack? Or am I? You know it’s funny. A few months ago I couldn’t imagine falling off the fitness wagon. I had dropped a size, dropped 20+ pounds, dropped my double chin…and I felt like a million dollars. Then I ran my 5K. I was so proud and exhausted. So I took a week […]
