Taking A Break and Reclaiming my life
Perhaps it makes no sense, the title of this blog. Because of course when you are hard-core on program and losing weight you are already reclaiming your life right? Because when you are overweight you can’t do all of those things that you want to do, even normal activities are difficult. Like taking the stairs.…
Am I happy?
Mish asked me if I was happy with myself in my Trigger Unhappy post. I just want to say, yes, I am happy. Or at least I am a lot happier than I was a few years ago. There are things in my life that I wish were different, but I am learning to…
I'll take a new attitude, for $100, Alex
Gaaarg I feel like a real Cranky McButterpants lately. I’m opting now for a new attitude. I am going to think about at least one positive thing per day about myself and embrace it instead of putting it in the background. I feel like I have a lot of growing and thinking to do. I…
Trigger Unhappy
The last couple of weeks have been less than stellar food-wise. Either I’ve been overeating at dinner, not planning/preparing my food for the day or eating chocolate. Not one or two chocolates. A LOT of chocolate. My weigh-in on Thursday was kind enough to remind me of just how not-on-plan I have been, with a…
Get Back, Negative Nelly!
I’ve been arguing a lot with myself lately. That and talking myself into things. Had these conversations been out loud, I’m sure I would be writing you now from a padded room (providing I was allowed pen/paper/a computer/internet connection and my arms weren’t stuck in a funny white jacket of course). Thank goodness that is…
Start of the Breakdown*
*10 points to name the artist I’m pretty tired of the nuclear melt-downs. I mean from a completely objective perspective it’s nothing to get over the top upset about. So my weight is staying the same. End of the World? Hardly. People get through plateaus all the time. I guess the part that bugs me…
OK. Seriously?
Before I do a proper update for this week… I just want to say… Seriously???? It wasn’t a perfect week, but 5/7 days completely on, working out like crazy, making sure I did everything right and the scale is staying pretty much the same??? In fact, I gained 200 grams this week??? 5/7 days tracking,…
Oh How Embarrassing
Moving right along. It’s Sunday and I’m packing my bag for the gym. I’ve got some new music on my iPod and I’m even going to brave the snow and go out on my bike to get to the gym. I still want to have a think about how I can improve my blog to…
Get it together
My brain is not in the right place to get it together, when it comes to food. Or rather, when it comes to dinner. Here I go again… making my way through a perfectly planned day, only to come home famished and eating whatever I can find. So we know what this means. I need…
Lost and Gained
I found out recently that somewhere around the end of 2008, the scale at home screamed a painful and loud 98.7 KG at me. Yesterday I got on the scale and it was a bit friendlier at 81.7KG. That’s 17 KG I lost in 2009. In 2008 I would have never thought I could run,…
