Why this Blog

Hi. Welcome to my blog. I want to live a healthy life and have it be a habit. Not just a diet for a short change. Thus, the title for this blog. All things in moderation. Here I will share my ups and downs as I struggle for a moderate lifestyle. I hope you will come along and maybe we can learn together.

Summer Update

Obviously, I haven't blogged here much over this past summer. That does NOT mean that I haven't been working hard. I was chosen for a weight loss contest on Win, Lose, Blog. It was 6 weeks long. I won! It was so much fun. I'm so glad I was chosen as it gave me the extra encouragement I needed to lose weight this summer. Overall, I am down about 10 lbs from this time last year. I'm happy with that.

I have a very big goal of being down to my wedding weight by my 10th anniversary (Dec 19th). This means I need to lose about 15 lbs. I'm going to try my best to get there.

My goals for the next week:

Plan in advance my eating and exercise. Log all eating and exercising.

Limit all sugars. Try to only use natural sweeteners (like honey)

Eat 5 small, frequent meals. All balanced with good carbs, protein, and some fat. Eat lots of veggies.

No white flour or HFCS at all.

Do Insanity every morning and get to the gym for other exercise as I can. I have some sick kiddos right now so that might not work.

Only drink water and (one glass) skim milk each day

Be more active with kids each day (if they are better, of course). I'm hoping to get some extra walks in with them this week.
