Skinny Saturday Report
Hello! Happy Mother’s Day weekend!
Due to poor planning and the holiday, I don’t have a Skinny Recipe for today. But I have a really fabulous one in the works, and it’ll actually come with a great giveaway too! So be sure to come back next Saturday for all of that :)
Today, I just wanted to pop in and let you know how my week has gone. Which is… okay.
It’s been great in that I’ve met my one, solitary goal every single day: work out and eat breakfast first thing in the morning. That has happened, so I feel good there. I’m really trying to develop a habit of waking up early to fit in my work out. One of you left me a comment last week that really stuck with me, because it put into words EXACTLY what I’m trying to accomplish with this small goal…
Which is… to make exercise and eating breakfast so routine that I don’t have to think about it. I don’t want to have to waste my brain power on working so hard to get to the gym and eating a decent breakfast. If I can make that an automatic behavior, I can focus on the more challenging parts of weight loss– like afternoon cravings and late night snacking. Serious brain power needed there.
This week was not so great, however, in terms of actual weight loss. I actually am on the incline, which is not super pleasant :P . But…. I’m going to keep plugging away! The only other option is to give up, right? And I can’t do that. So, I’ll just keep trying. And maybe one of these days, I’ll be able to say “Hey! Something is working! I’m doing it right!”
Until then, I just want to say thanks to those of you who read these posts. Thank you so much for your support. Can you believe I haven’t had a single negative comment? I think it’s amazing that I haven’t had one person leave a comment saying, “Hey! Stop making so many desserts fat-so!” I was totally preparing myself for that, and it’s been a relief to not see it (yet)!
Make sure you come back next week! I’ll have a recipe and a giveaway you are NOT going to want to miss!

No worries lady. Pretty sure I gained a pound or two this week myself. Self control went our the window when the kids decided to go psycho on me all week. Also, for the record, I am sure my body is just weird, but almost anytime I have started a workout routine after a period of irregularity, I gain a little the first week or two before it starts coming off. I have no science to back my theory, but I always feel and assume my body takes time to adjust its systems and energy usage and also works to build some muscle before it really starts burning the fat. So in summation, all this babbling means is, you are doing great. Keep it up. Results will come as you continue your efforts. One step at a time, right?
Great job at keeping on your goal!! Don’t feel bad about not losing anything, all the sudden the pounds will just drop off!! I didn’t loose anything this week either! Crazy school stuff!! Keep up the great job! You can do it!
Some days are great, some not so great.
In the end it all pulls together for a very pleasant surprise! :-)
Keep at it and don’t worry when you get off track a bit.
You are just a normal gal like the rest of us, just slap a smile on your face and keep at it! :-)
As far as desserts go…a “little” sweet never hurts anyone.
Looking forward to your future posts , YAY YOU!!!
To all the mom’s out there…..Happy Mom’s Day!!
I have struggled with weight issues off and on since I was a teenager. I have learned a few things, especially recently. I am trying to take the focus off the scale, and just realize the good that I am doing for my body through exercise and eating more healthfully. I know you are a very busy lady, but there are some great blogs and health/fitness sites with a lot of great information. I do still occasionally weigh myself, but there is no rhyme or reason to when I do. Just keep doing what you are doing. You are doing good things for your body.
Yay for working out and breakfast. I feel the going up part. Ugh.
Press on!
