Despite my promise to myself not three days ago, I had a super-grumpy day and ended up weighing myself. Thankfully, the news was good! I managed to slide in at 134.5--so it feels like I lost two weeks of time where I didn't drop any, but otherwise,…

Did the 30DS yesterday, then got overambitious and started Boost Metabolism, Burn Fat right afterwards. I got one circuit through before giving up. I tried again later, and got almost 4 circuits through, but now I'm tired and I've got a knee and an…

Why is it that weekends are so hard? For some reason, surrounded by good friends and only housework to get done, I don't pig out... but I'm just not as anal retentive as I usually am about portion control and eating food that's good for me. I'm stil…

30 Day Shred
A lot of us are using Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, so now we have a place to compare notes and give each other support.

I can't do a regular push up either - and I die after about 2 girly-style ones. What I started doing to maybe build up my strength first is wall push-ups. You're not lifting your entire body weight but you're still supporting a lot of it and it migh…

I'm glad your back!! (I have not done any exercise videos for years so no help there, sorry. I think there is a group on BTL devoted to 30DS.) My only advice on the pushups is to maybe do a few (or even one) guy-style before switching to lady-style…

I wanna thank Kristine B for leaving me a really nice message on my wall. I hadn't posted in a while, 'cause I was doing a bit of rollercoastering--I wasn't eating terribly well, gained some weight back (or at least wasn't losing any) and felt total…

Just remember, when you're feeling grumpy at yourself, you need to consume 3500 extra calories to gain a pound on your body. That's, like, three chipotle burritos. If you can do that in a day, I'm pretty astounded. So it looks like after my week of…

Daaaang, almost a week since my last post. My only excuse was having something that resembled the flu last week and all weekend. Thankfully, I seem to have made a valiant recovery, so it's back to eating normally and not cheating because I have some…

6.1.2009 - My willpower is the worst.

Despite my promise to myself not three days ago, I had a super-grumpy day and ended up weighing myself. Thankfully, the news was good! I managed to slide in at 134.5--so it feels like I lost two weeks of time where I didn't drop any, but otherwise, no harm no foul. Also, I probably have more muscle mass now since I started the 30DS. I can feel my back getting stronger. I think I'm on Day 5 of level 2, and I'm getting marginally tougher. Soon, I hope to get through the whole thing without, you kn… Continue

6.1.2009 - Yaaaaaaaaaaawn!

Did the 30DS yesterday, then got overambitious and started Boost Metabolism, Burn Fat right afterwards. I got one circuit through before giving up. I tried again later, and got almost 4 circuits through, but now I'm tired and I've got a knee and an ankle that are not feeling 100%. Hope it doesn't stop me from shredding this afternoon: I was looking forward to it. I exhausted

Lotta exercise yesterday, just 'cause I felt kinda crappy. I didn't even cook the lentil soup I had planned (with chorizo… Continue

5.31.2009 - The Draught

Why is it that weekends are so hard? For some reason, surrounded by good friends and only housework to get done, I don't pig out... but I'm just not as anal retentive as I usually am about portion control and eating food that's good for me. I'm still not a snacker, but I'm definitely a girl who enjoys her big friendly gathering meals, and sometimes these involve giant burritos. I just know that if I were at the weight I wanted to be at, this wouldn't be as much of a problem--I eat well for maint… Continue

5.27.2009 - Risen from the dead?

I wanna thank Kristine B for leaving me a really nice message on my wall. I hadn't posted in a while, 'cause I was doing a bit of rollercoastering--I wasn't eating terribly well, gained some weight back (or at least wasn't losing any) and felt totally grumpy with myself for a couple weeks. But now it's TOM, and it's time to get back on the big-kid horse. I think I'll play it more casually with the dieting; I was really punishing myself in my brain if I didn't obey my diet. Or if I seriously viol… Continue

Just remember, when you're feeling grumpy at yourself, you need to consume 3500 extra calories to gain a pound on your body. That's, like, three chipotle burritos. If you can do that in a day, I'm pretty astounded.

So it looks like after my week off, I pretty much gained a pound. Dangit, sickness! You're supposed to make things easier, not harder. Lentil soup is helping a lot, though--there was a bunch of gunk stuck in my system. Blegh!

I have a really cool site for people:… Continue

Hey - thanks for your comment. I didn't know that about the carbs! I'll have to keep that in mind. And actually, supper last night was a salad - so maybe that is where my problem stemmed from.

Thanks for the comment, Jo Foo. It's nice to hear a reminder that narcissists are not bad people, they just didn't get everything they needed as a child and punishing them is not the answer. They need empathy more than anything. It's tough when it's my mom but I'm getting there. I appreciate hearing a true life story.

Good luck on your weight loss kick! Remember to give yourself as much love as you give your friends :)
