Today I made my sneaky entry into the 150s, weighing in at 159 lbs (a loss of 1.5 lbs since last week). I’m beyond pleased, you guys. I am Totally Stoked! I am also down 44 lbs total now. The big 5-0 is on the horizon. WOW. Just, wow. I’m so amazed and befuddled and proud [...]

Lemon Chicken and Kale With Pecans

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Last night we created a fantastic home-made dinner sourced from two fairly simple recipes: lemon-marinated chicken and kale with pecans. The two dishes’ flavors paired together unexpectedly well, and both were recipes that even a novice in the kitchen like myself could put together. Win! I was so excited about eating the dinner that I didn’t [...]

The Weigh-in Weighing in at 160.5 lbs (a loss of 1.5 lbs) this morning, I was more than happy with my progress. I continue to steadily chip away at my extra weight, and next week I am hoping to break into the 150s! The losses each week aren’t necessarily stunningly mind-blowing, but they keep adding up. [...]

These are the eggs I bought this weekend at the downtown farmer’s market: You may not be able to tell from this photo, but the two eggs in the upper right corner are both a pale greenish-blue color. I love it! When I buy chicken eggs that have been gathered by hand on a nearby farm after [...]

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 [...]

A February Bike Ride

I knew I needed to get in a workout today, but I wasn’t sure how until M suggested riding our bikes down to the central branch of the town library (he had ulterior book-related motives, but never mind that)! It was 4.6 miles each way, and we had a few minor adventures getting there and [...]

Boot Camp Sends Some Pounds Packing

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Today’s weigh-in revealed a loss of 2.5 lbs this past week! I’m so relieved that the scale isn’t stuck for good, and I think that the two boot camp sessions I participated in (Saturday and last night) helped nudge the number down. My total weight-loss so far is 36.5 lbs. Let me pause for a moment [...]
