Trying a new experiment, splitting up my exercise off days.
I’ve accumulated 155 minutes of exercise in the last three days, and weighed more this morning than I did Monday.
Why, God?
So I’m taking a break today. Thursday tends to be a stressful, busier day for me anyway.

Would you believe… is it even possible… that I feel like I was in better shape 50 pounds ago than I am right now?
I am noticing the difference between, say, moving my legs and moving my body. I move parts of my body a lot these days, and it does the job, I burn calories, […]

I exercised for the first time in forever this afternoon.
I kid you not, I think since August. The last time I remember being excited and motivated enough to move my body was the first time I reached -100lbs.
I biked 10 miles (35 minutes) and only stopped because my butt hurt. That used to happen before; […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I broke a bracket at dinner last night (already.)
I woke up disgusted by the thought of food, fearing I was either going to literally be sick today or pass out from my overnight mental issue.
But it’s 10:52am and I’ve already eaten nearly 850 calories–mostly in small bites of peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, […]

Biking 18 miles to undo horrible afternoon eating mistakes…
Felt like day one.

You know, I used to work out exclusively to Britney Spears–probably because most would argue her music is good for nothing but. Or maybe because I wanted to be her (before she got all weird and gross).
That was until our nation was introduced to Katharine McPhee.
Oh baby.
My advice to you is to add these […]

So I’m a liar, but a liar with a very sore back.
For the first time ever I just used the massaging hand-held attachment for my shower head. It felt like someone (very warm) was punching me in the back. But at least it distracted from the soreness.
I think week two of Couch-to-5k will be week […]
