Don't worry, I'm not there yet! Hell, I just barely started working out again, but I couldn't resist posting this. I'll just leave you with a final thought. A balanced diet means.... Wait for it.... Wait for it.... CHOCOLATE IN BOTH HANDS!

The Jumping Off Point
I don't even know where to start with the atrocity that has become my body. So, I'll just jump right in. Starting weight: 225 lb. (sad...highest I've EVER weighed) When I do my measurements, I do two different waist measures...my natural waist line and my lower abs (my major problem zone). My arm measurements are at … Continue reading The Jumping Off Point

Burnin’ Down The House
It's getting hot in here, folks! I'm cookin' again! Over the weekend Mark and I were deciding what we wanted to eat. We settled on bacon and eggs. I thought I'd do the bacon in the oven so that I could cook the eggs at the same time instead of having the bacon get cold … Continue reading Burnin’ Down The House
