(W)Eight

I’m recommitting myself to following my eDiets nutrition plan.  I’m currently using the generic eDiets plan, which is basically a reduced-calorie “healthy eating” plan.  The challenge I’m doing rewards players with points for healthy behavior (weight loss is secondary,) so I will get 10 points a day just for following the plan!
In coming weeks, I [...]

I need to post about more than just my weigh-ins.  I’m considering making my weigh-ins private posts, because even though I am interested in tracking my weight, I’m starting to get bored with the whole obsession with weight.  What I’m really interested in is swimming, yoga, bellydancing, stress relief, meditation, and intuitive eating.  I want [...]

Down a half a pound.  That’s good.
I wanted to post yesterday about how much I love my Sunday routine. I swim laps and then  tread water and then sit in the sauna.  This week I got to 13 laps.
I realized I’ve been better at carving out time to exercise.  Sundays I swim, Monday is bellydancing, [...]

Things are a little more positive.  After my more typical five hours of sleep, the weight is down to 196.9.  A slight gain, but not a full pound.  A gain that can be explained by the fact that I have started doing Cathe’s Pyramid DVD.  Maybe.
I’m proud of myself.  As discouraged as I was yesterday, [...]

I don’t really know what to think.  I weighed myself today– six weeks after starting work on my relationship with food, about two weeks after giving up my daily sodas… and my weight is up.  197.5.  Now, it could be because I didn’t sleep last night– the storms kept us up all night.  It could [...]

I said yesterday I didn’t think I would see a loss.  I was wrong.  I lost one-tenth of a pound.  Hey, at least it’s not a gain.  196.5.
Today’s plan is to remind myself to eat when hungry and stop when full.  When I’m not hungry, but want to eat, I need to ask myself if [...]

I’m back from the pool.  Spent about 45 minutes treading water– I can’t find my goggles.  I’ve ordered prescription goggles, though.  They’ll be here in about a week or so.  I was kind of disappointed.  I would have worn my flowered swim cap if I knew I wasn’t going to be doing laps.  After we [...]

I’m still having trouble with my right knee.  I went and picked up some arch supports and a knee strap.  I’m also working on a short DITY stretching and weights routine to loosen up that hip and strengthen the muscles around the knee.  I just can’t bear to go to a doctor.  My experience has [...]
