It's been a long, long, long time. A friend has gotten back onto here, so I want to, too. And now that I'm back and see my page, my weight hasn't really budged for 6 months. Wow, time has flown... six months? At least it hasn't gone up, I guess.

I could give excuses, but that wouldn't change my weight or my behavior. And honestly, I'm not sure I'm at that point of being motivated to change my behavior. But, I'll get there. My health is important to me. And I know I haven't been focusing on it a… Continue

Whoa, it's been over a month since I've been on here to write a blog post. My last one was about how I was getting too comfortable and not being disciplined and having self control in my eating, resulting in my weight not going anywhere. Well, the past month has still been the same. I think I am enjoying being smaller than I used to be, and haven't had that urgency and determination to lose weight l… Continue

The past few weeks I haven't been caring as much lately that the number on the scale is not dropping. Also, I will come home from work in the evening, be hungry, so I will eat whatever I want.

With my gym being closed today, I knew I needed to go on a run. I don't really like running. But I like being thin and losing weight, so I guess I have to do it. I've done most of my running on the treadmill at the gym and have ran outside 2 other times- 2 miles and then 2.5 miles. Well, today I figured out a new route on mapmyrun.com and set out on 2.75 hilly miles. It was cool and breezy (but I was overheated by the end, of course), and I had a killer hill right at the end, but I ran it all! I… Continue

I haven't lost as much the past couple of weeks because I haven't been eating intentionally, and thus have taken in uncounted calories that don't let me lose as much. Oh well. I'm committed to being intentional this week. However, I did have a revelation a couple of weeks ago. I want to be smaller and keep losing weight, but I don't feel that sense of urgency like I used to. I used to feel like I had to see the number go down, maybe because then it would give me peace of mind that I wouldn't sho… Continue
