A Look Back at November
Click on the image below to enlarge the story of my caloric intake and fitness efforts for the month of November (generated using SparkPeople). I already entered my food for today because I’m so predictable ;).
Believe It
29. November 2009
This weekend I picked up Biggest Loser Season 5 winner Ali Vincent’s memoir about her experience leading up to and including her time on the show. It’s called Believe It, Be It, and that mantra was actually the one she adopted as she gave it everything she had to win the contest that season. Not [...]
Holiday Cards and Planning Ahead
28. November 2009
Behold, our Christmas card photos: Our incomes aren’t currently large enough to support buying gifts for all the family members we would like to acknowledge during the holidays, so last year, my boyfriend and I started the tradition of sending out a holiday card with a current photo in it to many of our relatives. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
26. November 2009
Happy Thanksgiving! As you can see, I enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner! Time to get back to my standard eating plan, now. I’m a little nervous about facing Thanksgiving Meal #2 tomorrow, but my plan is to eat something healthy before we go and then partake only sparingly of the holiday meal since I’ll be counting [...]
Thoughts on Taking Things to the Next Level
25. November 2009
I am so tired right now that I am 50% sure I am going to face-plant onto my desk at some point today. My mood is great, funnily enough; I think it’s just the extra exercise I’m getting this week that has my head feeling all fuzzy. But that’s oh-kay, because tomorrow is Thanksgiving and [...]
Nearing the 170s
24. November 2009
Today I weighed in at 181.5 lbs, which means I’m down another 1.5 lbs from last week! And, as Babbalou pointed out in a comment on my last post, I’m very close to leaving the 180s for good. Do you think it’s possible for me to lose 2 lbs over the week of Thanksgiving? It [...]
Anticipation and Inspiration
23. November 2009
I’ve enacted one component of my Thanksgiving plan already by going above and beyond my usual Monday workout schedule. Today I rode my bike to work and also completed a lunchtime elliptical workout at my office gym. If the weather is nice enough to bicycle tomorrow and Wednesday, I’ll keep up this same routine on [...]
My Thanksgiving Plan
22. November 2009
Last year, Thanksgiving was the beginning of the end. I had followed Weight Watchers successfully for several weeks at that point, lost a bit of weight, and was hoping to keep that up throughout the holidays. But then Thanksgiving happened; or rather, I happened to Thanksgiving. Fast-forward a few months, and I was right back [...]
First Photo Update
19. November 2009
The people spoke, and Tiny Glow listened (said in grandiose politician voice)! Here’s my first attempt at a progress picture—it’s also posted on my Progress/Rewards page now: When I first looked at the new (red sweater) picture, I didn’t really see any difference when I compared it to pictures taken of me close to my [...]
