Wellness Wednesday - Weight loss Journey

Hey loves, coming to you with my weight loss update. Sorry it's so late, but such is life. As you know, two weeks ago I started on a path to be more productive on weight loss journey. Last night I stopped at Bed, Bath, And Beyond and picked up one of those scales that measure your weight, body mass, water weight and something else. I had a scale at home, but I wanted an update scale like the one I purchased. Two weeks ago I stated my starting weight was 256lb, however, when I weighed myself I was fully clothed. This morning before I got dressed and put anything in my belly, I stepped on the scale an it read 258lb (side not...I'm blotted and Mother Nature paid a visit today). I will say my weight prior to this was probably 253lb without clothes. I haven't really gotten into gear like I need to, but I have started moving. At work I walk at least one mile on my breaks. I get two 15min breaks and I walk 1/2 mile each. I have also been making breakfast at home for the most p...

Product Love - B&BW

I'm a scent and smell freak. I LOVE things that smell good. When I want my home to smell absolutely amazing, I burn my Home Fragrance Oils for The Body Shop, thebodyshop.com . However, ever so often I will purchase candles or room sprays from Bath and Bodyworks, http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22811246&cm_vc=200 . So, last year I fell in love with this candle from B&BW and the scent is Mahogany Teakwood. OMG, this stuff is amazing!!! I'm so glad they brought it back for the fall and winter months. This is how B&BW describes Mahogany Teakwood- "A quick spray fills every room with its very own Eau de Parfum! Perfect to use at home, a hotel room, the office or any space you wish to fragrance instantly. Each little bottle holds over 400 hours of amazing scent! Revel in the cozy fine woods fragrances of mahogany, cedarwood and oak, highlighted by delicate lavender and geranium notes".  What I love about B&BW home sprays is the...

Wellness Wednesday - Working on me

 For the past few years I have tried to lose weight, but to no success I have failed. I'm the only person to blame. I'm not as active as I was 10-15 years ago because I was in the Army and I had no choice but to be active. My youngest child was born 11ys ago and since then my weight has skyrocketed to 256lbs over the past 11yrs.. I have never been super thin, but this is beyond embarrassing....and I'm ready for a true change. Army circa 1995 After my youngest son was born I did get down to a size 14, as I was breast feeding, but once I stopped breastfeeding I didn't do anything to get the remainder of the weight off. I was living in New Jersey after my husband and I got out of the Army. Jersey is where he is from so we moved there. Being a Texas girl, born and raised, I always wanted to live in other states...so that's exactly what we did. However, I didn't take into account how it would effect my social life. I had no friends or family there to help encourage m...
