When I first started my blog, I did such so that I would have some accountability to someone other than myself.  I thought that if I could admit my eating failures to someone else, it would be the first step on the road to recovery, so to speak.
Well, I’d like to be able to tell [...]

I did ok today, but not great — consumed 1781 calories (a little higher than I’d like) but took in 75g in proteins.  I started reading “Joining the Thin Club” last night at the suggestion of a blog reader.  (Thank you again!)
I’m enjoying it, but am a little disturbed by something I interpreted while reading [...]

Well, like I mentioned, I have reached 148 pounds, the revised goal that I set for myself when I thought 168 was not right for me.
I still can’t say that my current weight is right for me, or that I am happy with the way my body appears in front of a mirror, but it’s [...]

After a long hiatus, I dug the EA Active CD out of storage today and popped it in.  I decided to do the 20 minute workout on the “Hard” setting.  A couple of notes:

It was a little hard, but not bad!  My lower weight has made any efforts to exercise much easier.
The last time I [...]

This week I have the joy of reporting a two pound loss.  You know what though?  If I had a scale that displayed tenths of pounds, it would probably only show 1.2 pounds lost.  I think last Monday I was likely close to 155.1 and this morning probably around 153.9 or so but when the [...]

I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see the latest picture, as I have them displayed in descending order. This one marks 110 pounds of loss!
I actually reached this milestone a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t get an uploaded photo to appear in [...]

Although I’m not in support of the supposed meaning behind the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song of the early 1970s with that title, I am a believer in spending time with those that you love and loving the time you spend together.

This is a photo of me and my younger sister. Isn’t she [...]

Well, I didn’t run the whole thing (obviously from my time) but I did complete in less than 45 minutes yesterday — 44 actually — or roughly, since I didn’t use a stop watch. Now I just have to concentrate on improving my time.
The good news? My muscle aches have subsided some! [...]

Jennifer on August 11th, 2010

I feel silly. I was already in bed but my mind started racing, convincing myself that I had to come back downstairs to type this blog post before I could lull myself to sleep.
Yesterday I ached a little. After Monday’s 45 minute jog/run, I felt pretty good, but yesterday my muscles reminded me [...]

This was the goal I mentioned in yesterday’s post: I want to be able to run a 5K distance in 45 minutes or less by two months from today.
I plan on using the indoor running track at our local YMCA three days per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have arranged to [...]
