Coffee Talk {In the Cafe}
1. A New York court ruled that a bus driver who failed a random drug test can keep her job. Did I mention that this bus driver is a school bus driver? The firing was determined to be “too severe for a 10 year employee”. There are so many words tumbling around in my head right now… Students are kicked off sports teams, people go to jail for possession but someone who is driving around the streets in a big ol’ bus full of students cannot be fired for failing a drug test? The school district had argued that it had adopted a zero~tolerance policy for positive drug tests and…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #15 {#Cinchspiration}
Here’s my last Cinchspiration update. I have to be honest and say that I haven’t been following the program as I should have over the last few weeks. In fact, I was completely off the program. But last week while I was at work, I was starving and while digging through my purse I found a Cinch bar, and was thrilled. Not sure if it was because I was starving or not, but that bar was the best thing I’d eaten in forever. Forever. So that was the start of me getting back on the wagon. And in that week I’ve gone back down to 155.4 which essentially means that…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #14 {#Cinchspiration}
There’s nothing new to report. My weight is holding steady at 155.6 lbs and has been for the last week and a half. I’m OK with that. As long as the number isn’t going up, I can deal. I’m still working on eating more vegetables. I don’t know why that’s such a difficult thing for me but it is. So my goal for this week is to work harder on increasing my fruit and veggie intake. I will also continue my daily walks with my co~workers and work harder at hitting 10,000 steps. To watch my weight loss story unfold, stay tuned as I blog, Facebook, vlog, tweet and pin my inches lost. You can follow the Team…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #3 {#Cinchspiration}
Last week was a total fail. I was on vacation with my family and wasn’t as aware of my eating habits as I should have been. I didn’t realize how important it is for me to stick to a regular eating schedule. I had my normal shake in the morning but I usually didn’t get a chance to eat my meal bar until after 2 PM, which meant that I was starving and literally on the prowl for more food. I also wasn’t taking the 3~in~1 Cinch Boost as regularly as I should have. You’re supposed to take them 3 times a day, and I was barely managing 1 a…

Y’all know I must truly believe in this product if I’m posting full~length, non~sucked~in pictures with weight and measurements on this blog for everyone to see. This is a big step for me, so I’m begging you to be kind. It’s a little hard to see myself looking like this. I want this to change. I need this to change. It will change.

I’m a #Cinchspiration Blogger!
I’ve never hidden the fact that I struggle with my weight but it’s not something that I broadcast on a regular basis either. In fact, the last time I talked about my weight I received a not~so~nice email in reply, so I kinda tucked my tail and decided not to discuss it again. I kept working out and eating properly but I didn’t share as much as I had previously. In many ways, this silence felt like a betrayal to the people that I was helping and encouraging with their own weight loss struggle. How could I help them while remaining silent about my own battles? Then I saw a…
