10 Things I Love
Thanks to Josie for tagging me to play the Happy 101 game! The object of this exercise is to list 10 things (as opposed to people—so no listing family and friends) that make me happy, and since this is a weight-loss blog, I’m going to primarily foucs on things involved in that area of my life. [...]

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 online [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Answering a question posed by commenter Janie on my previous post, I started thinking about the basics of getting started with weight loss. Here’s an excerpt from her comment: I joined Spark People after you mentioned it, but I find the site a little overwhelming. I have not started my weight loss process really at all, [...]

Monday, October 26, 2009
My name is Hilary. Some of you have read my previous (soon-t0-be-retired) blog, and some of you haven’t. If you’re just meeting me, it’s only fair to warn you that I am a veteran “weight-loss” blogger who has often let the blogging overtake the supposed weight loss behind the blog. I do love to write, [...]
