Bleh

Date July 24, 2007

I feel unmotivated (and sad).

Sadness and eating

Date July 23, 2007

All of my good days have been voided by bad days. I’m no closer to losing those extra three pounds than I was last Thursday. I don’t like being stuck with “At least I’m not gaining” thoughts, but they’re kind of all I have.
On the exercise front, I tried The Firm Yoga (eh, C+), and […]

Day 398 — Unofficial, official weigh-in

Date July 20, 2007

Today is day 398 of the diet. Time to confess: I am up about three pounds from my lowest weight.
The truth is that, for a few days, I was hovering in the range of plus TWELVE pounds. I put myself on a lean meat, veggies, juice and water diet over the last two days, […]

An agoraphobe’s dream. (Just kidding.)

Date July 19, 2007

Today’s exercise endeavor was Leslie Sansone’s one mile jog from the Sports and Fitness onDemand prompt in my digital cable box. There are a ton of things in there. After the jog I started to attempt a workout called Arms and Legs, but when we weren’t getting to the arms part, and the […]

I am a warrior (for 23 minutes.)

Date July 18, 2007

My anxiety level lately has been at about a steady seven. As someone who was a 10+ for years, I’m thankful, but I live at a constant, oh, four most days… so this sucks.
To try to conquer it (and some calories) I did yoga this morning via Namaste Yoga on FitTV. It was hard! And […]

It can be done.

Perfect eating day. Yay.
Here’s to a perfect sleeping night.

Over it

Date July 16, 2007

I’ve been cheating on my diet for so long now that I’m over it.
Driving home today, thinking “I will start back up tomorrow,” I couldn’t even think of another thing I wanted to eat as my farewell before I became strict again.
Fast food really grosses me out now. I’m so thankful for that.
So back on […]

Day 390 — Chubby girl-talk

Date July 12, 2007

Today is day 390 of the diet. No significant weight loss this week.
Are PMS cravings excuses? sort of like the way years (maybe even a decade) from now I plan on eating ice cream straight from the container as dessert after every meal, even breakfast, when I am pregnant, just because I’m pregnant?
I ate a […]

Feeling Lighter

Date July 10, 2007

The best indication that things aren’t going so well? I don’t update the website.
But my eating has been on plan and my exercise steady for the last three days. I like working out in the morning, getting it over with, and not having to dread it all day. I have a small goal for myself […]
