June 19, 2007As a note, I have updated the About Fit Not Skinny page to include more information about what I hope this project can be. I feel it is important to recognize that there are more ways of being fit than physically and my goal is attain all of them one day.
There is also now a […]

June 17, 2007My new favorite thing to do? Make cookies! But not just make cookies–make up cookies.
I decided to make oatmeal raisin cookies for my dad tonight out of better-for-you ingredients: rolled oats, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg whites… (No sugar!) I don’t like oatmeal cookies, and truthfully they came out more like oatmeal scones […]

I think week two of Couch-to-5k will be week […]

June 14, 2007Day 361 marked day two in week one of Couch-to-5k. I quit in the middle.
I’m in some sort of pain, which I can’t figure out. My lower back hurts and I can’t tell if it’s from exercising more lately, lifting something too heavy, chosing the wrong new desk chair to purchase last weekend, or what…

June 13, 2007Today is day 361 of my diet. I am stuck, it seems, at 92 pounds lost.
I don’t have to say it but… dieting is hard. There are some days that I feel absolutely incapable of controlling what I eat, and others where I am textbook perfect with my planning—but either of those days seem to […]
