Bad Blogger...
So lately, I mostly stop writing when I fall off the wagon again, like I made a declaration, and then eat an entire bag of chocolate & chips.
BUT! GUESS WHAT?
That’s not true.
I’m working on developing a habit of doing small exercises and stretches before bed, I’m on night 4.
The pact I made with J is going swimmingly. Went to Zumba on Sunday. And treadmill today, 2...

After 3 weeks off...
and feeling like crap today…
I’m back tomorrow.
I messed up big time.
Boyfriend left last night. I felt the same loneliness that triggered my day after Christmas binge, but didn’t recognize it till after. I mindlessly ate everything in my apartment, twice.
I can’t believe I didn’t think about it, why I was doing it, or enough to make myself stop. Nothing I ate was even particularly great. It started with not wanting to cook, but not wanting to...

So my office is inside a football stadium. More...
And I just heard roaring thunder last for a good 2-3 seconds that sounded like a forklift with a full load, crashing.
I was going to be going to lunch to treat myself to Subway. And have been excited about this for days (how lame am I?).
Turns out that’s not happening…

At first it’s awesome and great and you’re completely on board and up for anything. This time you are going to go the distance, you just KNOW it. This time is different.
Eventually you get into a comfortable pattern, and that feels pretty good too. You don’t need to bust your ass everyday…

It’s shark week, my fingers along with everything else is bloated. And let’s be honest, it’s not any secret that I wasn’t working out with my sprain and Thursday-Saturday were just terrible & excessive. I didn’t let it get me...

Pretty Good Day :)
It started right:
Had a bit of a fail before lunch, but not letting it ruin or dictate my day or week. Just ate later, waited until I was hungry again, trying to let me dictate a little. On top of it, my body was just a mess, with certain things and all. Worse than it has been for a number of months, felt naseous for a while, but I had to power through…
Stuck with my lunch (the bread got...
Watching A Beautiful Mind
Fantastic movie.
And amazing soundtrack…
Just got home from Zumba
I was sweating up & felt great during it. But now I don’t event feel like I worked out today…
I feel like I should do something else…
But what? Maybe I’ll be adventurous after dinner…

Woke up initially at 915, same time as spin. And by woke up, I mean I barely saw the time before I fell back asleep.
Too optimistic for working 10a-2a yesterday?
But knowing this, when I finally woke up, I feel like I gained 20 lbs overnight.
Also, I want the biggest salad. With lettuce and spinach and cucumber and bell pepper and maybe some fruit or grilled chicken?
Would it be weird to...
I ate more than necessary, even wanted to, mostly...

I really want something sweet.
Currently drinking more water trying to make it pass.
The only sweet things we have are various forms of ice cream. Boo.

This week
so I sprained my wrist on Saturday. I knew it hurt leaving work, but I was icing it and waiting for it to go away. Then in Zumba on Tuesday, it hurt, bad. I finished the class skipping most arm movements and just clutching it with my left hand.
I haven’t worked out (except for some minimal weight & little stuff at home) since then.
Then between a rearranging party Wednesday and hockey...

Losing Weight in the City: How Hard Will You Push... →
losingweightinthecity:
Tonight, as I watched The Biggest Loser on the treadmill while doing a tempo run, I thought about pushing myself.

I think all the times I started down this path of healthy living before, I failed because of a self-fulfilling prophecy: I was afraid I would fail.
I was…
I’ve discovered that I’ve lived 2 self-fulfilling prophecies.
First: I...

I wish I could reblog myself
A little inspiration for myself right here, 03/04/11.
That girl pretty damn sexy, if I do say so myself.
That shirt’s a “little” … snugger? right now…
Going, going, going, going, getting back there…..
That Time When...
Being an idiot doesn’t make life easier. And relying on the internet sucks.
I just purged honesty and wrote a lengthy, emotional, revealing, no holds barred post about an incredibly eye-opening graph I discovered from the app I use to track my weight. Of my weight gain.
I swapped tabs to look through my archives to find a picture I know I’ve posted before about my weight loss to finish...

The One Where There Were a Bunch of Pictures and I...
So I’m making my dinner tonight, and cooking quinoa for the first time not in a steamed bag and I went to input the Points into WW since I’m currently awesome at being accountable and I see this:
Pet Peeve. So yes, the above calculates to be 4 points a serving which my WW Scanner so nicely told me (have you tried this yet? best addition to weight watchers, if you have a smart phone,...

Making My Own Joy: Recipe: Curry and Goat Cheese... →
kimijoy:
Every now and then I get a random craving for something. This time around, it was curry. I really love curry. And, with a freshly stocked fridge — and a bin on the way from Doorganics — I had myriad options. After all, curry is so good on anything and everything. The verdict? Stuffed bell…

Weigh In Tuesday
Something’s clicking this time and it feels right & good again!
Start Weight: 196.0 Last Week: 192.4 CW: 188.8 This Week: -3.6 Overall So Far: -7.2
A few big things happened with this!
I’m finally below 190, the annoying number that’s been bothering me since I moved to Houston.
I get to buy Sweaty Bands!
My first mini goal is reached! And 2.5 weeks early!
Next goal...
Why weighing in daily can be good
I stepped on the scale this morning (so. damn. early.) really expecting to be up.
Wednesday I was up .2 and then I didn’t eat well (not terrible, but not well, it was the nachos) and then yesterday I was actually short 1 point but 6-odd Points were in these shrimp nuggets (think McD’s chicken nuggets but with shrimp instead) which was sample my boss got. Instead of just sampling and...

You’re going through recipes finding things for dinner/planning out the next few days and you want it all right now?
Everything sounds delicious and I want it all now.
Patience….

Weigh In Tuesday
I feel really good about this week, ate well, didn’t deprive myself (including pizza one day) but stayed way within my weekly points and I didn’t even add in my activity points, which I earned this week.
So I definitely earned this and feel good about it:
Start Weight: 196 CW: 192.4 This Week: -3.6
Mini goal of 189 by February is totally doable. Zumba tonight then random social TV...

Monday Morning
It was almost comical the internal debate I had with myself when the alarm went off this morning.
I set it for 540a to get to a Spin class at 6am. I slept in my workout clothes. I did what I needed to do last night to mentally prep for this morning, but seriously, I was far from ready to actually go.
There was actual out loud conversation with myself.
In the end, I walked in at 605.
(tipping...

Stupid Gym
Just got all dressed and was looking up exactly where the 24 hour gym was since I haven’t been before. The class I was going to take at 1230 today is at Super Sport, and I didn’t notice that before right now.
I only have the Sport level membership. Which means I can’t go there…
I was dragging my ass out to go anyway, I barely want to, and now motivation has dropped even...
Feel like I'm getting sick...
So I had Emergen-c & am making soup.
Ate pretty well yesterday & today. Especially that I went out yesterday, but I had 700+ calories left in my day when we went out, and I had pasta primavera at a mom & pop shop, and limited my wine intake, and enjoyed my 2 cocktails for the rest of the night.
Scale was a little down this morning. So that’s nice.
But tonight I need to relax,...
