Weight Loss Progress

Weight Loss Progress (Photo credit: Lexinatrix)

It is raining today :-( I am still going for my walk, though. I have to go to the library to get some work done for the writing business, so I will have to walk.

Yesterday I sprinted up the stairs at work about 5 times, just running for things that I needed for finishing up the rooms. That was a great workout for the legs and butt overall.

Last night I was so tired it wasn’t even funny. I kept waking almost every hour. This lack of sleep is a problem, but is pretty consistent for me. I have read that people who don’t sleep well can gain weight, or their weight loss might be impeded. I am losing weight rather than gaining, so I am not going to worry about it. I have had issues sleeping most of my adult life.

I was going through DVD’s the other day and found a yoga workout that I will likely add to my fitness routine soon. It is an easy one that I can do with my back issues. The stretching and meditating is important.

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
