"I didn't come here to whine, I came here to WIN."

I'm awesome.

Despite having a massive headache today--all day--I'm feeling awesome. Mainly because I'm down 2lbs this week, even despite all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet dinner on Thursday night and Brazilian steakhouse (read: all-you-can-eat AGAIN). Perhaps all this gym work and muscle building is actually paying off in the metabolism department ( Read more... )

Hahah - this weekend was a complete diet disaster, but I expected that. Between cheering up a friend, fighting PMS cravings, and a lazy Sunday of J and I being couch potatoes, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were full of beer and junkfood; I didn't stand a chance. And you know what? It's fine.

I avoided the scale this morning--it's not healthy to step ( Read more... )

Man, I am effing ROCKING at this WW business! I find that I'm eating things that are keeping me fuller longer, which really helps keep me away from those hungrybadchoices moments that have always seemed to be lurking around the corner.

I biked! I gymmed! And I earned the heck out of this veggie burrito bowl (no sour cream, of course) from Chipotle. I changed it up by adding the fajita veggies (sauteed onions and green peppers) to it, and MAN OH MAN! I had no idea what I was missing.

Why the eff haven't I been getting the fajita veggies this whole damned time!?

I've been overeating all weekend. My first inclination is to feel guilty about it but you know what? I'm tired of having guilt and other shitty feelings around eating. I'm not saying I should feel proud of this weekend, but I'm saying that I worked my TAIL off last week, going to the gym EVERY day, and cycling to and from work 3 of the 5 days. Also ( Read more... )

After a week's worth of poor quality sleep and what I'm convinced is the onset of a summer cold, I decided to give myself a break from cycling and the gym just for today. I'm really okay with this, and don't feel like I've fallen off the wagon, so to speak.

So I used the opportunity of having a free lunch hour to make plans with my friend Adam, but ( Read more... )

On top of minding what I eat and drink, I've been gymming and cycling like a mother-effer lately. Everything is stiff and sore in that "I worked previously atrophied muscles and now they won't let me forget it" kind of way, but it reminds me that I'm actually DOING IT. This is good ( Read more... )
