Hey all!!
A lot has happened since I have written! I am now a Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers and have begun my training process as a WW employee. There is so much to learn but I am really enjoying it so far. As a WW employee I am required to send my weight report in once a month. Yesterday I weighed in at 133, I would prefer to be 130-131.
After receiving Lifetime Membership I am finding myself not tracking as diligently which is not good because I have a goal range I need to stay within as an employee. I am hoping to continue this blog in an effort to maintain my weight loss and get ideas from my readers about continuing this healthy life style. My question for you today is: What are your go to healthy snacks?
maintenance
Have a great week!

15.8 down!
Hi all!
Not much new to report. I weighed the same this week for a total loss of 15.8 lbs. Hoping to hit goal within the next couple of weeks here!! As excited as I was to hit goal a couple weeks back I am feeling great and my clothes are fitting beautifully which is the most important thing! Becoming too scale obsessed is no good so I am constantly trying to go by the way I feel vs. what the scale says. I have been a lot more active recently which also feels great!
Have a great week!!

A weigh in set back & a non scale victory!
Small set back at my weigh in today. I was totally expecting to hop on the scale and have lost what I needed to in order to hit goal. Instead I was up .4 for a total loss of 15.8 lbs. Still awesome, and I'm confident I will hit goal within the next couple of weeks, just slightly disappointing when I thought today was the day!
I went on a three mile run outside today!! This is a non scale victory because it is the farthest I've run in years (and off the treadmill) and it was really great to see that I can actually do it allowing me to feel much more confident about running a 5k.
Today I also interviewed to become a WW leader and was offered a position! I will begin with receptionist training and switch over to being a leader in a few months after moving back to the Cities.
Have a great week!!

On top of the world!!
Today at weigh in I was another 2 lbs down for a total loss of 16.2 lbs!! I can not begin to tell you how great I feel! I am now .8 away from my goal weight of 130 lbs. Once I obtain goal I will go into maintenance for 6 weeks and must stay within +/-2 lbs of 130. After the 6 weeks I will receive lifetime membership which means I stop paying and am free to attend weekly meetings and weigh ins as I please!! Woot!
Today I was also asked by my leader to consider becoming a WW leader as they are in great need. I have applied and will know more within the coming weeks! What fun though, to be paid for motivating others to reach their goals??
Have a great week everyone!!

Non Scale Victories!
I'm getting ready to head out for a Pure Romance party in Ettrick tonight but I just had to hop on and share! I tried on a shirt that I haven't worn in a while that used to fit quite tightly. To my surprise today it feels slightly too big! Woot! I love non scale victories! The times when you can actually SEE & FEEL your weight loss success! What non scale victories have you had lately?

Accountability
Hey all!
I'm sorry again to my regular readers that I haven't been posting regularly.
Last Monday I was down 1.6 and today I was down another 1.6 for a total loss of 12.4! I have FINALLY jumped on the tracking bandwagon and what a difference it makes! Tracking really does help keep you accountable. Knowing that whatever goes into my mouth must be written down definitely makes me think twice about what I am eating. This week I decided to throw on an extra challenge and take home the traveling journal. Each week a new member in my meeting takes home the traveling journal as an accountability tool (you are required to bring is back at weeks end and report back on your results). I figured since I have been doing so well I might as well keep it going and take my turn this week. I will definitely let you know how it goes.
I have been slacking in the activity department. I didn't even make it to the gym once last week. That being said however I am still feeling really good which is what this whole journey is about for me!
Thanks for keeping me accountable readers!! I am finding that there is no better way to live out your goals than sharing them with the world. Make a goal and tell everyone you know!!
Have a great week!

Busy!
So sorry I have not been posting as regularly as I was for a while there. I am finding myself very busy these past couple of weeks!! It also doesn't help that the numbers on the scale have been climbing giving me less motivation to share with the world. This past Monday I was up 2.2 lbs for a total loss of 9.2 lbs.
So what have I been so preoccupied with? As many of you may or may not know, about a year ago I started my own Pure Romance business! Pure Romance is an in home party company that specializes in lotions, lingerie, lubricants, massage aids, and bedroom accessories. Sexual health has always been really important to me and when Corey and I found out we were moving to La Crosse I knew I would have to leave my job of teaching comp sex ed in the schools. Pure Romance was a great way for me to continue teaching while making some great money as well! While I began this business as a side gig it has excitingly become rather large and my calendar is beginning to fill with parties and other Pure Romance related events! Suddenly this is looking like it might turn into more than just a side gig after all! I am asking for everyone's support in this as I am really loving what I am doing! If you have any questions about Pure Romance or would like to book a party please email me at caseyspeaker@pureromance.com
Working hard at eating well this week!! What are your goals for the week?

I'm back!
Hello readers!!
So I have been back from Mexico for about a week now but didn't bother to blog as I was a little upset about how much I gained in Mexico. Today at my weigh in I was down 1.6 lbs for a total loss of 11.4 (I'll let you do the math on how much I gained while on vacation).
5k training is not going so hot. I hate running and I can't seem to get past that. I know many people who have hated running and come to love it but I just can't quite get there. I'm a walker!
Today I found out I got accepted into grad school!!! I will begin in August!
That's all for now!!

3 Weeks of no Weigh In!
Hello blog readers!
I have not forgotten about you! I am going three consecutive weeks without weighing in and thus do not have much to blog about! Oh other than my discovery of a terrible man named Kenneth Tong (you can check out his Twitter here: http://twitter.com/MrKennethTong). This man "proudly endorses managed anorexia" and posts daily, little tidbits of advice or a quote about becoming size 0. Simply said, he is an awful man.
Think healthy this week my friends!
