A Public Service Announcement
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Many of you may know that this Friday, February 2nd, is Groundhog Day. What you may not know is that Friday is also the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Day. Everyone should be aware that heart disease among is the number one killer of women in the United States - and […]
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. -Anne Dudley Bradstreet
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Welcome, fellow Time magazine People of the Year 2006, to my contribution to the web 2.0 experience. At this point, I’m not exactly sure where my blog will take me, but I hope you’ll check back every once in awhile to see what’s up. Who knows what you might find?
Another Pound
Thursday, January 25th, 2007My last weigh-in indicated that I’m now down to 198 pounds. Considering how long I’ve been trying to get back below 200, this is a major victory for me. Especially since we haven’t yet reached the end of January.
The last week or so I’ve just been eating whatever I’d like (except items with […]
Real Exercise?
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007Fifteen minutes here, ten minutes there, a few stairs, some hills…but nothing to write home about yet. Yesterday, when I was wonderfully energetic and bouncy, I had so much work that I forgot to go out and take a walk. I did manage to do a lot of walking around the office area, […]
Excuses, Excuses
Friday, January 19th, 2007These past few days haven’t been too positive in the area of exercise. I haven’t been feeling well and I had very little energy. Wednesday, I even called in sick to work for the first time in the five months I’ve been there.
Now I’m starting to feel better and I’m more energized than […]
Yay!
Friday, January 19th, 2007As of my “official” weigh-in on Wednesday, I am now below 200lbs (I was somewhere around 199). This is really exciting because I haven’t been this low in probably the last decade or so. I can feel my body changing: my arms are toning up a bit from lifting heavy boxes above my […]
Closer
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007The past couple days I’ve been pretty busy and I can’t say that I followed my new eating plan to the letter - however I also didn’t eat much of anything either day. An unofficial weigh-in this evening had the scale reading about 203 with clothes (which could be about 200 without) and I’m […]
Moving and Grooving
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007While I can’t claim to have “officially” exercised over the past couple days, I have been out and about a lot. Yesterday, I spent a vast majority of the afternoon walking around and even went go-karting for the first time (which was fun, but probably not too much exercise). And today I did […]
What do I Count as Exercise?
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Does the hour I spent walking around the grocery store this morning count as a walk? I’m not sure that would be considered official exercise, but I’m counting that time because I was up and moving around, not to mention all the extra work I had dodging my fellow shoppers. People with carts […]
Hanging In
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Today was a particularly bad day, craving-wise, and it was made that much worse by the fact that I went grocery shopping. I never realized just how much of the food at our local store is so unhealthy for one reason or another: sugar, flour, sodium, preservatives, and who knows what else. Reading […]
