Challenges

December 31st, 2011 · No Comments

no, not involving blogging more. I randomly have the best of intentions which then fade fast. Challenges of the activity variety. Back I mentioned a challenge that seemed interesting. Of course, I did nothing with it. Lately, I’ve been watching challenge and I decided if I didn’t join I wouldn’t do it. So I signed [...]

goal vs. Goal

December 31st, 2010 · Comments Off

I was thinking a lot today about why I’ve been struggling since September. Well maybe struggling isn’t the word, but losing focus. I’m still basically where I was in September but there has been a lot of up and down and a lot of crap food choices causing the ups in that up and down [...]

“I’m very proud of you”

December 27th, 2010 · Comments Off

that’s what my doctor said to me this morning after entering my weight and looking at what I’d lost in the last six months/one year. It really made my day/week. I’ve heard that from immediate family but I don’ t think I’ve heard it from anyone else. Coming from a medical professional especially. Now I [...]

2.2?

December 18th, 2010 · Comments Off

I don’t get it, but I’ll take it. When I stopped tracking on Friday (I know, I know), I was 50+ points in the red. Most of that damage was last Saturday and Sunday, damn you Sour Patch Kids. However a fair bit had been during the week when my meals consisted of brownies and [...]

and the yo yo continues

October 23rd, 2010 · Comments Off

up, down, up, down. Good news is, I weighed in today and lost all of last week’s gain as well as 3.6 down from two weeks ago, which was an official WI. I’m now lower than I was on Labor Day which was either two weeks into the yo yo or the beginning of it. [...]

Tired of losing the same 4 lbs

October 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment

I have been on a damn yo yo since I hit the 50 lb marker on Labor Day weekend. I am tired of losing and gaining the same 4 lbs. I have no one to blame but myself. The latest insanity? 50+ points in the red last week. On the plus side, I tracked it. [...]

Shades of Mediocrity

October 10th, 2010 · Comments Off

NFL. Weight Loss. Life. My attempt at blogging. Anything but the Yankees. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely thrilled with the Giants being 3-2 and two strong wins, but there are a lot of crap teams in the NFL. Not crap as in “oh my god they’re awful”, but crap as in “really? You didn’t [...]

Quick gain is a quick loss

September 26th, 2010 · Comments Off

or something like that. One of many good points that my weight watchers leader often makes. Wasn’t sure how/if that would apply in the case of this week’s gain because I’d been up and down over the course of the week. Well as of this evening’s scale hop (serial weigher, guilty as charged) after a [...]

Back on track

September 23rd, 2010 · Comments Off

actually, I was back on track Monday and that was important. I had a pretty crap weekend, weight watchers wise. It was a combination of not tracking (either not bothering, or using the excuse that I didn’t know what it was) and poor food choices (hi, chocolate chip cookies for lunch). I said I was [...]

It’s all about the percentages

September 11th, 2010 · Comments Off

% Pounds Lost Date 10 20.9 4/27 WI 20 41.8 7/28 WI 25 52.25 30 62.7 33 68.97 40 83.6 When I first joined Weight Watchers I was curious how they set mini goals as percentages. I shouldn’t say I like absolutes as I still haven’t set a goal, but I really don’t like %s. [...]
