Is There a Difference Between Losing Weight and Changing Your Life?
Not everyone who could stand to drop a few pounds needs to completely change their life. If you are reasonably happy and fulfilled, if you are stimulated by and content with most aspects of your life and your health is good, you may be one of those people. You honestly just need to lose a [...]

Monday, January 25, 2010
I can’t believe I forgot to post about this. Well, actually I can. I have taken to embarking upon new challenges in a crablike, surreptitious fashion. Then, after they take hold, I start talking about them a little more. It’s my way of not freaking myself out. The strength training program on SparkPeople that I’ve [...]

Saturday, January 16, 2010
Last night everything felt pointless, boring, and tedious. Life felt devoid of purpose. I wanted a giant cupcake really badly because my emotions felt so intense and throughout my life I guess I got really used to soothing myself in such a way. It felt horrible not going to my old go-to, you know? I [...]

Tuesday, January 12, 2010
This month I decided I would finally test the waters a bit and try some low-commitment (read: free) strength training in small (read: 15 minutes or less) doses. My free membership at SparkPeople has been the perfect medium for this experiment—in fact, reader Quix suggested this idea to me ages ago! Here’s my current SparkPeople [...]

Tracking my food intake consistently has been one of the keys to my weight-loss success so far, and the tool I consistently use to keep an eye on my consumption is the nutrition tracker on the free website SparkPeople. In addition to providing food and fitness tracking tools, the site is a community that is [...]

Tuesday, December 22, 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 [...]

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 ;).

Tuesday, November 24, 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 [...]
