Sometimes, this health journey gets me down. I'm still holding under the 230s, but have been having an amazingly amount of stress over the past month and change. Maybe "amazingly amount" isn't the correct wordage. In truth, I have felt like I'm floating through this sea of stressful events, continuing to stretch myself just a little bit further ( Read more... )

I have been going to more spin classes, to the point that I will have to buy a new pass soon. One of my clients moved to monthly, so instead of trying to fill the slot, I've tried to start attending a spin class on Saturday mornings as well. In theory, I would go to spin on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and run or do some other activity during ( Read more... )

I updated my tickers tonight. I realized I keep readjusting them because I'm no longer accomplishing what I want to accomplish. I need to adjust the goals. I'm hoping to be down to 230 by the end of this year with some more movement involved and healthier, more conscious decisions being made about my health ( Read more... )

I weighed myself this morning and saw 232. I actually had seen 229 throughout the course of the week, but Mexican food last night may have put me over ( Read more... )

We had bought different clothes while in Florida, my jeans sagging sadly. We came through security, me in my snazzy new jeans, hauling my mother in her wheelchair through baggage claim.

I was curious to get home. Last time I weighed myself, it said 239.8 on my scale. In Florida, my father's scale continued to decrease. However, I had no idea if the ( Read more... )

The bunny has come for me, leaving Cadbury eggs and other sundry things to enjoy. We're ordering pizza and wings and I am finally going to drink soda. I am going to enjoy my little gorge fest before I have to head off to work an overnight in a couple hours ( Read more... )

When I finally woke up this afternoon, I decided to go ahead and weigh myself. I have been weighing myself on Sundays in order to keep a closer eye on weight. The scale read 245.4 pounds! So I have 0.4 pounds to technically hit my Lenten goal, but I was able to move two more stones over into the weighing jar. I also updated my tickers on my ( Read more... )

My triceps are still a bit on fire. We ate too well last night, lots of soda and delivery, which was much needed after the experience at my parents. We needed a chance to reconnect, just us. However, after the carb overload, I passed out on the couch.

I finally weighed myself this morning on my own scale: 220.4 pounds

Well. We did do a ( Read more... )

I am freshly showered and somewhat depleted from this morning. We're entering the last week of the semester, and my brain is so, so tired. While I had intentions to run and/or exercise last night, a friend stopped by who doesn't live on this side of town anymore, treating us to sushi. It was awesome to see her and catch up. Though she left ( Read more... )

Due to the lack of actual work happening, I had printed out a little paper calendar to plan my upcoming month. I had finally decided to buy some group exercise classes through Groupon at a gym near my house. I had been struggling with the idea, seeing as I had never done group exercise and it could be intimidating to be among fit women when I'm ( Read more... )
