New Bootcamp Pictures
Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about [...]
Done with 41 Lbs!
23. February 2010
I stepped on the scale this morning to the tune of 2 lbs down since last week! Hooray! I’m down 41 lbs overall, which means it’s time for my next mini-reward: scheduling a massage. I have been wanting this massage since September! I am going to savor it. This past week was so much better [...]
Tiny Glow, Small Changes
22. February 2010
So after a rough week last week, I decided to be less regimented about certain aspects of my nutrition transformation. As most of you know, I lost my first 35 lbs by just sticking to a calorie budget and exercising regularly, without worrying about the nutritional content of my diet. However, more recently I’ve challenged [...]
Boot Camp Musings
19. February 2010
Gold star for me—my attendance at boot camp this week was 100%! Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings I was up there on the top level of that parking garage soaking the concrete with my sweat. The view of downtown is pretty fantastic from up there; not that I choose my fitness endeavors based on aesthetics [...]
Woah, I’m Halfway There
16. February 2010
This past week was the first one since I began this weight-loss effort in which I let life and my emotions truly derail me. The damage included two-thirds a of a Tubular Taco (really an unholy, mammoth burrito/enchilada beast) and two missed workouts (including one session of boot camp). I did lose half a pound [...]
Weekend Plans: Farmer’s Market and Still No Soda
12. February 2010
I’m feeling quite a bit better today, although I’m still not sure what shape my Challenge is going to take on. I’m sticking to my plan to stay off the diet soda, because that’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I hate being dependent on that stuff! Today is Day 5 [...]
Rough Days
11. February 2010
Yesterday was a bad day. It just was. And for the first time in almost 5 months, I went “off-plan” with my eating and ordered and ate 2/3 of a big Mexican dinner. I wanted to eat the whole thing; guess I’m not as chompy as I used to be. Today I’ve been eating normally [...]
Short and Sour
10. February 2010
Wow, am I in a grouchy mood today. No soda, my iPhone died this morning, uncertain weather and boot camp tonight. In the grand scheme of things, stuff like this doesn’t even register as a blip on the radar. But today I am feeling foul-tempered. I am sticking to my plan; I’m just grumpy about [...]
New Challenges Reignite Some Old Feelings
9. February 2010
Yesterday was my first day off the Diet Dr Smack, and I missed it sorely—both physically and psychologically. Evidently I’d gotten used to thinking of my two 20-ounce bottles of diet soda per day as my work-day “treats” (the way candy used to be). So I had a bit of a pity party in my [...]
