I feel like every time I write here lately I’m complaining about how hard my life is, how hard my job is, how hard it is to stay determined to lose weight… The result is that I find myself avoiding writing so that I’m not such a Debbie Downer. I like TED Talks, it’s true. … [Read more…]
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish before summer gets here. My breaks have proven, over and over, that they are not good times for me to make strides in weightloss. Fitness, yes. But weightloss? Ha! I know that things can change and that this time could be different, but I’m … [Read more…]
Whoa. Talk about hitting the brakes abruptly. Number one: Diet bet ended. It was a big brouhaha that, at the very end, I barely made it by the skin of my teeth. Seriously, the second bet needed to have a weigh in of 214.3 or less. I weighed in at 214.2. The next day, I … [Read more…]
Last week I made, what I felt, was a pretty intense laundry list of working out. Added to my work week, I was pretty uncertain about whether or not I’d be able to do it. Well, I managed to make my goals- better yet- I surpassed my goals! Goal: 2 hours on elliptical Accomplished: 2 … [Read more…]
My goal at my diet bet was to weigh 214.7. I had all this angst that I wouldn’t be able to do it, but it turned out not to be a problem. I’m sure glad I blasted most of my holiday weight off, though. Bleh! I think I am definitely going to do another bet. … [Read more…]
It’s the saddest day in January. It is the last day before we go back to school. I always thought the last day of summer was bad, but man, this has been a tough day. Ugh. It’s so silly, but I just love being around my family so much that I hate to go back … [Read more…]
I’ve been talking a little bit about Dietbet.com and how it is to be one of my motivating tools this January. Today I headed over to the website to check in on the bet I’m joining and to learn more about the process. The downside, to me, is that the rules and how to’s don’t … [Read more…]
What’s the goal? To actually RUN finally. To follow through on my workout! Then to post about it on my website. I’ve done both of those things now. 
And if I were a bare minimum kind of girl, I would be done about now. Ha ha! But I’m not. I have to tell you … [Read more…]
I made my Christmas weightloss goal yesterday! I weigh 210 now!!! I’m pretty positive I’ll be making my goal of 200 by Jude’s birthday, and I really wish I had taken that diet bet now! It must also be noted that I put my running shoes on again today for the first time since the … [Read more…]
I’ve taken a couple of runs lately where I’ve just decided to do a 5K. Initially, the three miles was daunting. 1/4 of a mile was daunting, for goodness sake, and I have the 5K up on this pedestal of, like, super hard difficulty level. I think I have a block in my head because … [Read more…]
