I am wearing my Caged t-shirt tonight, sort of in the spirit of Halloween.
(And trying to not eat any peanut M&Ms.)

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, […]

If I continued to publicly journal my food intake, I may or may not have left out the following from my extended weekend consumption:
Dreyer’s Slow Churned Light Pumpkin (in an unmeasured quantity)
Various Weight Watchers cakes (mainly chocolate and carrot)
And Glenny’s Brownies (in both plain and peanut butter)
Oh, and the donuts. Those stupid donuts.
The ice cream […]

My brother brought Dunkin’ Donuts all the way from his home in Nevada this morning. We don’t have Dunkin’ Donuts in California, and the rumor was they’re the best donuts ever.
It was good. It was a donut so, duh, it was good. But I don’t know about the best.
I think that was the first donut […]

Everything feels wrong… Doing everything right…
At (or under) 217 this morning. I’ve exercised four of the last five days–some more than others. I have to say, I like that when I eat extra things, I can sort of think, “Well, I’m not supposed to have this, but at least I’m still three-hundred calories in the […]

Kind of, anyway.
I have a broken bracket on my lower teeth. I think I broke it eating thin-crust freezer pizza (with a knife and fork, even) or maybe apple pieces earlier in the afternoon, or maybe really even, brushing with my spin-y Oral-B Vitality. My story will be the last one as I get it […]

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; […]

Today my decision was yes.

Posted in Just Life No Comments »

There’s this little window of time in the morning where I decide whether or not I am going to eat well that day. Sometimes that decision comes as soon as I open my eyes, sometimes it takes as much as an hour. Most days it just clicks in my brain that I am going to […]

My weight this morning is my new all time low, 217.2, with a total loss of 104.2.
I weighed closer to 216 yesterday morning, but I ate probably 1/4 of a bag of Tostitos (straight from the bag) last night and that tends to happen. How dumb of me.
At least I feel safely out of the […]
