Update! Surgery, Recovery, and Everything in Between!

Hello, Everyone!

So glad to finally talk to y’all again! I know several of you have reached out to me wondering where I was and what was going on.

(Me today, July 15, 2019)

It’s been a whirlwind since I posted last, and just whenever I’m about to upload an update, something else pops up. So, I decided to post something up BEFORE life decides to go off on me– LOL!

So, let’s start at the beginning. It’s taken me awhile to share this with y’all because I never like to share things unless there’s a happy(-ish) ending involved. LOL

Video RE-UPLOAD! My Journey Recap and What’s Ahead for the New Year!

Sorry, Everyone!

There was a problem with my video on YouTube and I had to re-upload it. It could be that the problem solves itself in a few days and I’ll end up with two videos, so I apologize in advance if that’s the case. Sorry for the confusion!

*********************************

Happy New Year, Everyone!

It’s my very first video of 2018 and I wanted to start the year off by doing a quick recap – not just of 2017, but also of my journey thus far. It’s been so great reminiscing and seeing how far I’ve come!

See the video on YouTube!

Plus, I share what I’ve got planned for 2018 and some of the new things I’ve bought to start my new year off.

What about you? How have you started 2018? Share it with me!

New Video Upload: Weight Watchers - A Weekend of Travel & Staying on Track!

Hello, Everyone!

It’s been such a hectic month as I’ve been super busy with work, family, the holidays, you name it! Plus on top of everything, I’ve been traveling a lot for work.

Through it all, it’s been a struggle to stay on track. Here’s a snapshot of one of my weekends and what I had to do to stay on track.

Plus, I share how I use my Weeklies and how I spend them at Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s, Panda Express, and KFC! Don’t you just love how versatile Weight Watchers is? I do!

Update and Cooler Weather–Finally!

Hiya, Everyone!

It seems like it’s been forever since I last posted. I’ve been super busy at work and doing lots of traveling. I hope to upload a new video soon telling you all about my traveling on staying on plan – well on at least one of my trips! LOL

For now, though I’m super ecstatic that we got two – yes TWO days of sweater weather here in Texas. And on one of those days, I actually kept my Air Conditioning off! I couldn’t believe it!

I couldn’t wait to snap a pic and commemorate my sweater weather for 2017! I had to hurry and complete the experience with some hot soup and cocoa! It was awesome!

*le sigh* Well, it was great while it lasted. Today we’re back up in temperature and my Air Conditioner is back on the job.

How about y’all? How is the weather treating you and your plan?

New Video Upload: How I Plan My Weekly Menu & My Get Fit Planner!

Hello, Everyone!

I can’t believe it’s almost October and I haven’t made any planner videos for the year! Well I’ve got a really good reason – I was all over the place with it! LOL It’s taken me months to finally figure out a system that works for me. You see, starting in January 2017, I decided I didn’t want my weekly menu planning to be so structured.

So, I started a new system that’s been slowly evolving since then. Months of seeing what has worked, with activity as well as meals have finally made it possible to show you what I’m doing. I hope you find it useful.

Weight Watchers 4th Year Anniversary! One Year After Lifetime!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Everyone!

Memorial Day Weekend has been an especially important weekend in my family since my two brothers and my husband were all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. So, I’m especially proud and grateful for their service to our country and the same goes to all our amazing current/past service members!

Needless to say, we’ve always celebrated this special day by being with our families and sharing what else – food!

But Memorial Day Weekend is now an extra special time for me. It marks the point where everything changed for me. Back in 2013, I was united with my family about to enjoy in an amazing BBQ feast we had prepared.

New Video Upload: Weight Watchers 1 SmartPoint Protein Shake

Hello, Everyone! It’s been so crazy hectic this past month, so I truly apologize for staying away so long!

Today after my workout, I was all set to make my usual protein shake and I wanted to share it with you.

See it on YouTube!

Not only is it delicious, it’s also very simple to make, only has a few ingredients, and best of all it’s only 1 SmartPoint. Check it out!

Plus in this video, I share that I’m lactose intolerant and introduce you to someone! Meet George! LOL :)

Toe Woes No More!

Hiya, Everyone!

This week I felt so blessed because can you believe it – my toe nail finally grew back! LOL

After having smashed and fractured two of my toes back in June 2016 with my 10lb weight, I’m somewhat recovered from the ordeal and I celebrated by getting a pedicure. Sure, it’s not the best paint job, but I was so darn happy my toe nail grew back, that I didn’t even complain! LOL

 

New Exercise Routine!

Hello, Everyone!

As you well remember, I fractured two of my toes a few months ago, and this led to a change in my exercise routine. Now that I’m all better, I wanted to share my new routine with you.

Celebrating Reaching Lifetime with James Avery!

When I reached Lifetime, I wanted to get something to always remind me of that amazing feeling of getting to goal. I thought about getting a bracelet charm, but I wasn’t too happy with the clasps on the bracelets which were a pain to put on/off.

So, imagine my happiness when I came across this charm ring by James Avery! It’s everything I could ever want – it was silver and totally cute! Now it serves as a constant reminder to always stay on track and to celebrate losing 183 lbs!

 

 

I Made Lifetime!

Hiya, Everyone!

I’m so excited to finally share that I Made Lifetime!!!

*release the doves*

With the help of my amazing Weight Watchers Leader (pictured on the left) and Receptionist extraordinaire (pictured on the right) – the absolute best team any girl would be blessed to have – we made it!

Changes Are Coming! I’ve Got a New Look and So Does My Blog!

Hello, Everyone!

I’ve been trying to upload this post since the beginning of the year, and I can’t believe we’re already in March and I still haven’t gotten around to it.

Anyhoo, I’ve been thinking for a long time that my look was in desperate need of an upgrade. I’ve been rocking my usual hairstyle for a while now, but always in the back of my mind, I’ve been wanting to change it up. I was floored when I walked into my local Supercuts and I saw this picture hanging on the wall.

 

It FINALLY Happened! I’m an Official Resident of: Onederland!!!

So, I’ve been stuck at around 202 lbs for about a month. Not sure why the scale hasn’t wanted to budge, but it was majorly bumming me out. I kept at it, though several times I just wanted to quit and go drown my woes in a huge mountain of nachos.

BUT somehow I found the strength to keep going, and this morning it FINALLY happened. I’m an Official Resident of Onederland!

 

New Video Upload: My Weight Watchers Journey & Motivation!

Hello, Everyone!

I FINALLY uploaded my new video dealing with staying motivated while on Weight Watchers. It definitely was a journey!

This weekend, I did an update on my computer and everything I was working on with my video edits erased!

So, not only did I have to reshoot the video again, but I had to re-edit it as well. But I’m so glad I finally got it all together and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Hello there!

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Julie. I’ve been married for seventeen years to my hubby and we have a fifteen year old son. I decided to start this blog because guess what? I’ve hit 150lbs lost on Weight Watchers today! Woo hoo!

Let me tell you it’s been a long almost-two year journey and I’ve learned a lot since I first walked into my Weight Watchers meeting room.
