I haven’t decided yet if I really want to maintain a regular blog any more. In the three or four years since I was really active on this blog, I have started two marathons and finished one (and the DNF on the other was NOT my choice.) I’ve also moved to Texas from Missouri, bought [...]
Am I Back?
I Know, I Know
It has been way too long since I last posted! I’m in a holding pattern right now as far as weight maintenance goes– which is GOOD! I’ve been too busy to think about it and I haven’t really been eating right, but I’m still easily maintaining size 14 (sometimes 12.) However, I don’t have as [...]
NSV and 174-ish
To be honest, I didn’t weigh myself at all during spring break. I still seem to be having success, though. The other day, I bought a pair of size 14 capris, with the intent of fitting into them “in a few weeks.” Turns out they already fit. They’re very cute. But the real non-scale victory [...]
Lunches
I hope to start posting pictures and descriptions of my vegan lunch boxes. I have a collection of interesting lunch carriers (one laptop lunch, one bento, and one Corningware, plus a bento on the way, and I hope to buy an Indian tiffin soon.) Usually, I just carry rice and veggies or leftovers, but I [...]
178.4
178.4 was yesterday’s weight, and the official weight of the week, but today, I was 177.1. It’s driving me nuts that I can’t remember something I wanted to talk about earlier. It has something to do with my new attitudes about food. It’s so refreshing to feel “normal.” How strange that I had to go [...]
179.8
I’ve switched back to weighing in pounds. It’s easier, and it’s not affecting me as much emotionally as it used to. Sometimes, I even forget to weigh every day! (As long as I keep up with SparkPeople, I seem to keep losing… slowly, but surely.) Well, I’m not making my goal of bed by 11pm [...]
Still 82.4
Haven’t lost… but I didn’t gain! Which is great, considering I had a terrible month, school-wise. Boy am I glad the semester is over. My classes were great, but I wasn’t. I can’t remember what I wrote before, but I’m working on going more raw with my diet. More fresh fruits and veggies. This does [...]
Update for October
I know it’s been a while since I posted. I think it’s because I’m bored with weight loss talk. From me, I mean. I’m interested in how other people are doing, but for me… I know what I’m supposed to do. Actually, with my diet, I am doing it. I’m maintaining my 6.5 kilo loss [...]
Annoying Soy
One of the most annoying things about trying to be a strict vegetarian is the soy. I have a bad reaction to soy. I’m not going to say I’m allergic, but it is definitely a very unpleasant reaction. Soy is a common allergen, as far as allergens go. Yet, it’s difficult to find online vegan [...]
Update
Today’s weight was 84.9. The vegetarian thing seems to be working. The problem is, I’m so wiped out and I can’t sleep. You’d think that giving up caffeine would have the opposite effect. Tomorrow, we’re going to the State Fair. That will be a challenge, because I doubt they will have anything I will want [...]
