Notes from Farrah will be changing slightly. After some thinking and spending time with my sister, a recent widow and mom of 3 (soon to be 4), I decided I wanted to do more with her. Not only that but I definitely needed to wake up this space some more. I’ve been feeling a bit [...]
Oh here we go again…a new adventure…
Wow, you’d think the end of the world really DID come since I’ve been MIA from here since May 21st. But then, life has changed for me since then…So much has been going on. There are moments I feel like I must look like Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist. Yeah, remember the head spinning?? There [...]
Progress: Portion Control, Exercise, Weight Loss {#Mamavation}
Tonight I’m excited to tell you that I have officially lost a little over 10 pounds. Sure it’s taken me a little over 2 months BUT I’ve lost more inches and smoothed out the unsightly “lady lumps” here and there. Woot Woot!! To some 10 pounds might not seem a lot BUT just carry around [...]

It’s 2 Monday’s after the 4th of July…remember my Saturday post of panic from the past week of binging horror and my moment of freak out about the 4th of July BBQ? How did I do? Well…actually I didn’t do too bad. I was able to enjoy without “pigging out”. Holiday Social Eating tips I [...]
It’s been a rough week…
At least in the night and weekend meal department. I continue to drink water throughout the day, do some sort of exercise each day, and even ate mini meals from the moment I woke up til I get home. Yet when it comes to evenings at home with family, Wednesday-Friday have been rough. Arby’s (Italian [...]
Tuesday Toot…06.22.10
Toot toot! It’s Tuesday and I’m feeling GOOOOOD and accomplished (one of those accomplishments is actually posting this since it’s been AGES since I last participated)! Met up with my now official fitness trainer at lunch today for session #2. Went ahead and got an intro fitness training package for the next 8 weeks. Today [...]
