Progress Photos and the Days In Between
Lyn, who writes the well-known blog Escape from Obesity, shared the following thought on Twitter a while back:
Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining is hard. Choose your hard.
When I read that, I thought: This here is a not-so-pretty slice of truth. I still come back to that nugget of wisdom from time [...]
The Cost of Weight Loss
8. March 2010
Remember this shirt? Well, it’s getting loose on me. When I first bought it, the blouse was nicely fitted (see pic!), but it is starting to hang on me just a bit. It’s a nice problem to have. . . . I just wish I had the funds to immediately replace it and the rest [...]

It’s not hip to admit it, but I crave structure and routine on some deep, primal level. A big part of me wants an authority figure to put my trust in.

This is a guest post written by my awesome boyfriend of three years, M. He has his own blog about gaming, but he was willing to write a special post today for Tiny Glow about his experiences so far during my lifestyle makeover. Enjoy!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
