All is Quiet on the Homefront



The past week has been a tad quiet in terms of my journey, but not in the madness region.

The noro-she-devil-virus-sickness laid claim to not one, but 3 people in my house…myself included. That was a hell I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. My ribs, stomach and chest muscles took the brunt of the pain from the evil that is the noro-virus. My daughters and I inadvertently spread the devil virus love to a few family members that do not dwell in our house (sorry guys!). Crossing my fingers that it stays far away from my hubs and 9mth old son. So far, so good!

Tomorrow marks the 25th day of my lifestyle change. Here’s a short list of changes that I have noticed thus far:

  • I have so much more energy than I did before I started…it’s strange, but a good strange.
  • I do not feel like I am starving to death.
  • My mental clarity is a little better.
  • And my favorite…my pants are getting too big. This is a slight problem, but it’s a great problem to have if I do say so myself.

I know there are many more changes that I will notice in the next few months and I’m excited!

On another note, I found this picture on Pinterest (ericame3, if you want to follow me) with the caption: 5lbs of fat next to 5lbs of muscle! This is why you should never allow a scale to determine your fitness progress…



If you are like me, then visualizations like this will speak volumes to you. Just because the scales aren’t screaming huge weight loss numbers, it doesn’t mean you aren’t doing the right thing. Keep on keep’n on.

Until next time…
