When I've done that walk in the past it's taken an hour, but I got a late start this morning so didn't have an hour. I pushed hard, ran a tiny bit (maybe 20 feet) and made the 3.2 mile walk in 50 minutes! I'm very excited that I actually did it. It wasn't too bad either and my daughter really seemed to get a kick out of it - she generally likes stroller rides. Anyways, now that I'm here the only way home is to walk (non-negotiable since nobody who'd offer...

Now I have a stomache. Bluck. Must remember this next time I'm tempted to excessively overdo it - it's not worth feeling this way afterwards. Even without considering the mental and emotional consequences - my body knows it doesn't need or want to eat like this anymore and is letting me know - LOUDLY. Right now I can't even imagine wanting that bro...

I ended up going over on calories (I think) in spite of my light day. I guesstimated a lot to enter everything in the Food Tracker because of course I didn't measure anything at the party. Anyways, my total for today is 2,422 and my "correct" range is 1200 - 1550. Oops! I did okay on not standing near the food at first and my daughter helped keep me away ;) but they had these huge gooey triple chocolate brownies and I ate two - ev...

I'm still about 7 pounds away from my lowest weight in the last three years - that was after I did the "6 Week Solution" and before I got pregnant - but it's only 7 pounds! This challenge has been a great motivator for me - especially this week as I want to finish strong (even if I can't quite make it to 15 pounds by Tuesday). I was doin...

I'm feeling slightly inspired after reading the featured journal a couple of days ago (though of course I can't remember now whose it was), so I'm trying to journal. Anyways. I've been tracking and measuring my food strictly this week (per my Stage), which hasn't been too hard because I'd kind of being doing that during the last week of FastBreak anyways. However, I'm going out to dinner tonight and...

I'm feeling frustrated and overwhelmed and wanted to find something sweet and sit down and veg. Instead... Tue, 1 Aug 2006 16:08:20 EST
