I failed to see 156 this past week. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Despite my solid efforts, and a huge disappointment, I didn't let it get me down. I turned my long 3-day weekend into a fitness fest. Instead of watching the Braves game on the couch, I drove to the gym at work and watched it from the treadmill. I pushed myself through some hard hittin' strength training (leg presses and pull ups) and although I am suffering from it today, it was SO worth it! I took today off to do some yardwork, but in terms of my meals, I've been pretty great all weekend.
I took my measurements this weekend and I was shocked to see a 1.5" loss in my waist and a 1" loss in my hips in a month. But is that even possible having lost only a few pounds??
In a ditch effort to get these last nagging pounds off, I signed up for the infamous SparkPeople pages. Although I've been journaling my food since May, I love that I can get more accurate counts, keep up with my water intake with a click, and get meal ideas. I'm so bored of the same old thing everyday. I have 8 weeks to lose the 12 pounds. It can still happen. I'm not giving up.
Another inch in the waist and hips is my other goal.
And it will be the best 35th birthday present I could give myself.

who's birdie?
Birdie is just an old nickname I had back when my hair was super short. Most people around here know me as Adora. But my friends who really know me call me Mandy. Confused yet?
Yeah, I should probably suffer from multiple personality disorder.
This is the place where I've documented my journey to being healthy. I have struggled with being healthy my entire life. I adopted poor eating habits I learned from my family and their inactive lifestye. After reaching an all time high of 205 pounds, I decided to change things for good. For a long time I focused soley on the numbers. I lost 50 pounds in a two year period. I'm at a comfortable place now and I've chosen to give up chasing an elusive scale related goal and instead focus on my eating habits and fitness. Here are my stories, my struggles, my advice and my opinions. I hope that you'll find something here that motivates you to be healthy too!
