Guest Blogger - @iheartreading

Hi, I’m Jenn and I’ve been following the wonderful ladies here at Twitloss and jumped at the chance to join in with my story. For those who might not know me, I am @iheartreading on Twitter and I food blog my weight loss at http://agirlwholovescupcakes.com. I wanted to talk about one thing that is constantly foiling my attempts at eating healthy and how I combat it and that’s emotional eating. Growing...

Getting back into the routine (and not killing myself in the process)

Hi everyone! The wonderfully awesome girls here at Twitloss have allowed me to join the team. Gang? Group? You know what I mean. *waves* I’m MamaKitty. But… you knew that. After working my butt off, dropping almost 50 pounds, and going a little crazy in the process, I took a little break from working out. I told myself that I’d continue to eat right, and it was only going to be until the end of finals....

Summer is halfway over... how are you doing?

 Summer seems to be flying by... we are in the second half of July already and I feel entirely unprepared for the rest of it! With summer I made a lot of promises to myself...: 1. Read more.... (ugh! I have so not followed through) 2. Get to the gym daily as it gives me and the kids a break from the heat (ugh, double ugh!) 3. Drink more water (ok a bit better at this one). I hate to admit it,...

Men vs. Women in the Battle of the Bulge

Men SUCK! There I said it. I hate that my hubby decides he wants to lose weight and then a few weeks later he looks better. Hell, I hate that the only place he gains weight is his belly! Not fair. And then he looks at me and says: “You need to get off the couch more and worry about what you eat less.” Really? Have you looked at my ass lately? It says different. This reoccurring conversation, which...

Get your groove on

Well, yesterday Lynette distracted us with her adorable kids. I don't have kids. So, I started wracking my brain for things to distract you. I finally settled on a few of my favorite workout tunes in honor of me getting back on the workout wagon. I don't have any *news* to report, maybe that will come next week. But, I can't wait to hear what YOUR favorite workout songs are. I need new ones. Classic cardio songAnother classic cardio songMarc!Aguanile! (If you haven't seen this movie, btw,...

What'cha Looking At?

This is Queen and the Chunk. The Chunk is terrorizing his big sister. Did you know that a one year old and a six year old could fight? I didn't. But let me scold them. Then all of a sudden I am the bad guy who is picking on their only reason for living!  What does this have to do with TwitLoss. Not a darn thing. But I figure you'd get more entertainment out of me pimping my kids out than...

How do you US people do this & Sweet Potato Fries are the DEVIL!

First I must apologize for the second time for forgetting my post last week and I am afraid that the coming weeks posting my #twitloss blogposts are going to be challenging as I have a lot of books to read for review and reviews to write and I have a houseguest coming week and will also be going to London for 2 days. Busy much?I hope you guys will forgive me, if I don't get around to posting my...

I Interrupt This Diet Blog...

To do a little PSA about Diabetes...Image via Wikipedia*Climbs up on Soap Box* First, I want to share. My Dad is a type 1 diabetic and I have been Hypoglycemic all my life. I just recently finished serving on the Board of Directors for my local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). I have to tell you that even type 1 is not just a kids disease anymore. More and more adults are...

and they're off (again)

You must believe me when I say that I did NOT want to use this video. Not today. Not ever. But, when I jumped in the car this morning, this was on the radio. I thought I could shake it, but it is STILL IN MY HEAD. So, now, it gets to be in your head. Don't blame me. The radio hates us.Okay, now that that is out of the way, there is okay news, good news, and lazy ass news. Which do you want...

The Doctor is In!

Back in March when we first began Twitloss, I made an appointment with my doctor's office for a physical. The appointment was scheduled a month later but I didn't end up going. The appointment ended up coinciding with our vacation, so I missed it and didn't reschedule. Then we hosted a blood drive at my office and since I arranged it, I figured it would be hypocritical of me if I didn't donate blood...

My body aches. Send help.

Weight wise, not much to report. I am down about half a pound this week.. not much but I took 3-4 days off of cardio. The last two days I have been back at it. Pushing myself to run more of my time and my body is complaining about it. Who says that we are supposed to feel all refreshed after activity?!?! I think they lied. I am drained. My legs and feet ache. I need a hot tub or a full body massage... yet I have neither. sigh. I am struggling food wise this week... its getting hot, no one wants...

not THAT much wiggle....

If you knew who did this song, you get a gold star! I could barely remember the refrain.Anyway, Happy Wednesday people! Yes, I know that it was supposed to be Happy Tuesday, but right about now I can barely remember what my name is, much less what day I'm supposed to post! But, I *DO* remember that I am supposed to post measurements this week instead of weight loss (or gain). Let me hit you with some numbers:Chest: Starting 45 (really?!) Today: 42Waist: Starting 46.75 Today: 38Hips: Starting 47...

Maybe I finally have the hang of this...

I have been trying to figure out what to post all day, but I really have nothing substantial to say. I am happy to report just under 2lbs lost this week (1.8!) so I am about 13 lbs down. woo, go me! My food has been eh this week but I have hitting the cardio like no one's business. When i started this walking 30 minutes bored me to tears. At this point I am doing 30 minutes of an walk on incline with another 30 minutes where i alternate 5 minutes of running with 2-3 minutes of walking. I put on...
