Less Activity?: Here is the Plan
Posted by: Shannon Buck on: November 21, 2011
Winter is coming, and work hours will be fewer. I had 2 4-day work weeks recently, each netting me a little under 30 hours. Some weeks will be better on hours than others. Some days will be better than others. The point is, there will be less activity on the work front than what I [...]
Back to Work
Posted by: Shannon Buck on: November 14, 2011
Been back to work more than a week. My first day back netted me 3 whole hours of my own work, but the head housekeeper allowed me to help others when I was done. I helped 4 people and got to work a couple more hours. Because I had such a short day, I did [...]
Lots of Walking in Fort Kent
Posted by: Shannon Buck on: November 7, 2011
I didn’t think that I would be getting enough activity during my visit with Skye and Jonas last week, but I certainly did. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. To the libraries, stores and Subway, and even to Al’s for lunch one day. We walked a good 3 or 4 miles each day, maybe [...]

I worked yesterday, but only until 1:30. I am thankful for my job for many reasons, one being that it is a job where I am constantly active. This was especially good yesterday, because I did a whole lot of sitting around once work was over. I sat in the office and waited for sheila [...]
Me and This Journal
Good day all! My name is Shannon Buck. I hail from a small town in Maine, where I am blessed to have the opportunity to work from home as a freelance writer. I am mom to Skye and Zowie, my wonderfully supportive daughters.
I am not happy with my appearance. I want to get back into at least a large.
When I first started losing weight, I weighed in at 279 pounds and wore a size 3x. I am now at a size 2x and, while I have accomplished much, I have gone backwards somewhat. Not too badly, as I am still wearing a size 2x, along with with some 1x.
This blog is an effort to help keep me on track with my fitness goals. My main goal is not necessarily weight-loss, but overall fitness, nutrition and health. I want to not only look better, but feel better as well.
Join me while I continue with my journey.
Warmest Wishes and Brightest Blessings,
Shannon L. Buck
