Last fitness post...or is it???
I think I'll make this a Hi/Lo post (gotta get back to more of those)
Lo - When I started blogging weekly for Motivate Me Monday I felt like I needed to blog more in general or else the whole blog would be about weight loss and I didn't want the world (or the 4 people who read my blog) to think that's all I cared about. I didn't realize how quickly things could get out-of-hand...you know, one blog post leads to another and then another and before you know it you've over-shared! haha
Hi - I really did it! I said I would eat better, exercise, and lose weight and I did. I didn't do anything crazy - just counted calories (most of the time) and got in a solid 30 minutes (at least) of exercise. So are you wondering how much I lost??? 9 lbs. I'm pretty happy with that...especially since it wasn't grueling and didn't require fasting or giving up my favorite foods or cutting off a limb. I do have a few more to lose but it's not going to drive me crazy...just keep swimming, just keep swimming (Nemo). I have to say that blogging about weight loss just might be a magic pill...something to think about.
What is the future of Motivate Me Monday you ask..well, you didn't really but I'm sure you were about to...hmmmm, I'm trying to decide. I feel like it's been a great tool for me to do better and there are LOTS of areas that I need to improve upon so next week I'll let you know. One thing is for sure, it will include a once-a-month weigh-in to keep me on track! ;-)
Happy Monday!

Wow Sarah! I'm so proud of you. Nine lbs is amazing! I say, keep doing Motivate Me Monday, but mix it up on the topic- sometimes it could be about prioritizing or chores (fun) or goals you have (sewing/cooking/meal planning). K- I just thought of that off the top of my head- and I think I might copy you with my idea! LOL
Keep it up!
Congratulations!! Might I say I'm a tad envious?? Mine didn't go as well although I have improved my eating habits. Perhaps you're onto something with the blogging . . . ? You always were a brilliant girl. Thanks for Motivating Me on Monday! Tomorrow is a new day & I'll try again. As for you, Bravo! I'm so proud of you. Thanks for being the amazingly motivating little sister!
Sarah,
This has been so fun for me to read! I seriously have been looking forward to it every week adn I am super proud of you. 9 lbs is a lot when you are a little bitty thing already! I may steal your idea because I about 10 or so hanging out in my mid section that I would like to part ways with and it is ANNOYING! Maybe weight blogging would do it for me too! Thanks!!
Sharing is caring :-)
I love all you've shared.
Great blogging!
Someone posted on Facebook that the cast of swamp ppl would be in vinton, la and I thought of you, so close to vidor, just across the state line on I-10
Congratulations! That road to weight loss is a challenging one! Way to think of a way that will keep you motivated! I will have to think of a way after baby. I have a lot more than 9 pounds to lose, but good job woman!
Wow- NINE??? I'm so jealous, and wondering where I was cus I just tuned in for this. Please keep it up and motivate me!
