Last Weigh-in of the Year
This week’s weigh-in had to wait until this morning, since I was away visiting family for the past week. I treated Christmas Day as a “free day” (I didn’t count calories) but otherwise counted every single day, and stayed within my “budget.” This activity was considerably assisted by the new iPhone I received for Christmas—and [...]
New Year’s Day Goal Met . . . a Week Early!
22. December 2009
175 lbs! That’s what the scale read this morning, and this means I have hit my unofficial New Year’s Day goal a week ahead of schedule. I’ll certainly be on my guard to keep the scale from climbing in the wrong direction when M and I (and the Bean) fly up north on Thursday morning [...]
Resting My Butt Off
18. December 2009
Somewhere around 4 AM on Wednesday morning, the cold of doom hit. I have been alternately snotting, snorfling, blowing, and wheezing ever since. It is pretty boring and today, although I am still sick, is the first day I do not feel like a bus hit me. But I have been a good egg. Because [...]
My 25-lb Milestone
8. December 2009
Today I weighed in at 178 lbs, showing a loss of 1.5 lbs for the past week and an overall loss of 25 lbs! That’s right, I hit my next mini-milestone and reward! A spa-quality manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow-shaping appointment has been booked for the afternoon of December 22. I can’t wait to be pampered [...]
Cholesterol Woes
7. December 2009
Remember how I was all excited to get my recent blood work results back, because I was just sure that by losing 20 lbs, I would have improved my numbers? Well, I got my results back Friday and . . . it didn’t happen. My cholesterol was actually up a few points from when a [...]
The Blahs
4. December 2009
When I biked home yesterday, I was challenged. The uphill grade of the ride, the relatively cold weather (this is Texas, come on), the wind which always seemed to be in my face. My quads burned, the traffic irked, and I thought to myself, I don’t seem to be making much progress. I felt utterly [...]
Skinny Clothes
2. December 2009
Last weekend I added a few new rewards to my list: 50 lbs lost–open LARGE box of “skinny clothes” 65 lbs lost–open MEDIUM box of “skinny clothes” 78 lbs lost (GOAL!)–open SMALL box of “skinny clothes” You may or may not be able to relate, but the “skinny clothes” are clothing of various smaller sizes [...]
A New Month and a New Weight Decade
1. December 2009
Into the 170s . . . by a hair! This is starting to be a pattern, me inching sneakily into the next weight decade. I am thrilled to have lost 2 lbs over Thanksgiving week, and I also know that I can attribute some of my success to the fact that: 1. I did some [...]
