Ok, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but I went to a church rummage sale today. They had a “bag sale” which means that everything you could fit into a paper grocery bag became yours for $2. I filled three bags, mostly with clothes. Having finally met my goal weight, I wanted to get [...]
On Friday afternoons, hubby and I go out for lunch with our preschooler. It is a way for us to get out of the house once in a while, as we both work out of our house. Home offices are great, but when you do, it’s possible to start feeling a little disconnected from the [...]
Continue reading about a tad overboard today, on calories and protein
Today I’m really proud! I consumed only 1055 calories, a little too low again, but ate well. The scale is already showing me the positive reinforcement — 153 this morning — so it’s hard not to do it this way. I’ll be back under 150 before too long.
I also exercised again today — not much [...]
Since I made a promise to blog every day to account for my eating and exercise habits, I’m happy to report:
Caloric intake: 1484
Exercise calories burned: 226 (Wii Just Dance 2 and 30 minutes of stepping routine)
Net calories: 1258
I’m hoping that when I step on the scale tomorrow morning I will start to see some of the [...]
Caloric intake: 1068
Exercise calories burned: 147 (I hula-hooped my butt off today using Wii Fit)
Net calories: 921
Operating at a deficit like that should insure that the pounds come back off quickly. I’m probably throwing my body into a state of shock — going from days where I consume 3000-4500 calories to ones were I barely [...]
Continue reading about first day post-binge was fairly successful
It’s been four weeks since I met my goal of 148 pounds and I’m not doing too well in maintenance mode. I am having mostly “fair” days, with a few good ones and several bad ones thrown in for not so good measure. I was up several pounds since then and back down to 149 [...]
I don’t feel like I’ve posted much, nor kept up with the other blogs I always enjoyed reading. It’s been somewhat of an emotional roller coaster lately. Part of it is the weather. It alternates between pleasant spring-like weather to sleet showers and “wintry mix” — a new phrase that has been overused this year, in [...]
And it’s a good thing! Usually when someone says they’ve hit a new low, it’s not so good!
The scale for weekly weigh-in this morning reported 149. I lost the remaining binge pounds from a couple weeks ago and a couple more to finally break the 150 barrier. Of the 120 pounds I wanted to lose, [...]
With last week’s reading of 155, I was hoping to be back around 151 today, but alas, the scale said 153. I guess last week’s binge is going to take more than a week to come back off.
I’ll take the two pounds though and not complain about it. I ate out three times this past [...]
Continue reading about didn’t rebound as much as I had hoped
It was nice to see all of the bloated binge pounds come back off this past week. In fact, perhaps with the scant amount of exercise I sneaked in, I even lost one more! The scale this morning said 151. (It’s hard to imagine how, considering it said 159 last week at this time.)
Three more [...]
