We have a loss! (The scale measured me at 180.6 in pounds.) I’m waiting for DS11 to get home so we can work out together. If he has the energy after playing with a friend all day!

For my first week, I maintained. 82.4. I’m not too unhappy about that, considering that I have not yet been able to exercise. Until today, just getting up seemed to sap all my energy. I was starting to wonder if I had that mononucleosis that is going around campus, but I’m apparently immune to mono [...]

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 [...]

I’m down to 82.4… but it’s taken me about three weeks to get here.  It has not been a great few months.  The semester has been hard on me.  For about the past month, I have not eaten breakfast and have barely eaten dinner.  (Yes, it’s a bit frustrating that eating so little has not [...]

Downward progress!  Go body! It doesn’t want that extra weight any more than I do! My official weight for the week is 82.8. My body is doing what it wants, and I’m okay with that. My goal is living a healthy life and letting my body get to its natural healthy weight. At the Y [...]

My first week faithfully following Spark and I ended up at 83.  Good news! Downward progress! My Spark buddy and I are trying to lose 1.3 a week until the end of the year. That’s at the high end of the range at which I am successful, but I’m willing to give it a try.  [...]

I know I said I was tired of talking about weight, but I think I still need to focus on it deliberately for a little while longer.  This year has been a great year for rethinking my relationship with food and my relationship with my own body.  A question I have been working on this [...]

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 [...]

So, I still weigh myself every day. Probably will for a long time, until I get to a healthy weight. Then, I hope to go with the good old jeans test. (I have a pair of jeans set aside for this.) Today’s weight was promising– 86.1. This means I can now say I’ve broken the [...]

I stopped logging my stats because of my trip to the conference.  I haven’t started up again yet.  I’m still weighing myself.  86.7, so at least some weight is staying off.  That’s good.  I’m running an average of twice a week and I’m up to two miles.  I’d like to get to three miles three [...]
