Had a good workout yesterday. My body fat was 21.4%, so again, almost the same as last week. Excellent. I'm finally over this cold, so I'll be back in the gym regularly this week, starting today. Shane actually told me to bump my cardio up to 40 minutes Read More

Weight: 147 (+2) You may think I'd be upset about this, but I'm not at all. I know last week's big loss was a fluke mostly due to being sick, but I'm down a pound from the week before, which is great. My overall "life" goal is not to go over 150, so Read More

After Saturday, I started to feel a little worse again in my sinuses; kind of relapsed. So Shane cut me off again at the gym. I am surprised to say that it really bugs me not being able to work out. For almost my whole life, the thought of exercise Read More

A: Acupuncture again yesterday. This time I was much more relaxed and was actually able to pay attention to what my friend was saying, instead of, like last time, internally freaking out about her sticking needles into me. I asked her to explain it Read More

Weight: 145 (-3) YIPPEE!!! 90 pounds, FINALLY!!! I don't care if I only got here because I was sick this week; I didn't eat much differently than I would have anyway, except maybe for Monday. I don't even care if I have lost muscle weight because Read More

A: Acupuncture B: Bathing Suits C: Cold A: I went for my first session with my acupuncturist friend this weekend. I say "my first" because I didn't realize that this was going to be a series of sessions. She explained to me that for best results, Read More

Weight at the gym: 149 (-2) Body fat percentage: 21.2 (+0.4%) Oh boy, did I get scolded by Shane today! My body fat percentage has gone up almost a whole percent in the last two weeks. The bottom line? I exercised too much this week and didn't eat Read More

Weight: 148 (+-0) Hey, I'm thrilled. I was back up to 150 earlier this week after all the pigging out I did, so to have turned it around in just three days shows me I'm back on the right track. Thanks for everyone's comments on my self-control post. Read More

I don't know what this is lately. A loss of momentum? Getting burned out? Self-sabotage? All I know is that lately I can't seem to stop snacking, and not my regular "good" snacks - bad snacks. Cookies, brownies, cake, candy bars. Part of it is not being Read More

I have several bigger posts brewing but not enough time to devote to them now. So here's a brief catch-up: Saturday - was 151 on the gym scale; so up two pounds from two weeks ago. Not a surprise since when I weighed 145.5 at home I was 149 at the Read More

Weight: 148 (-2) I'm still not entirely sure I trust my scale but other than that one day it's been pretty consistent. The real test will be tomorrow at the gym, seeing what I am on the medical scale and checking my body fat percentage. I'm nervous Read More
