now, my nephew not included, whose resolution is to "get fit before he comes down here"... he's 17, and therefore not included in this rant... im fairly certain all of those people are going to fail.

of course, the goals are not concerete. not specific. are general. leave too much room for interpretation. <...

plans for tomorrow.

wow. my last blog was a long time ago.
i worked out every single day until christmas. christmas, i did not work out. and have not worked out since then. [more on that in a bit.]
i may have only walked, but i did work out. even christmas eve, when i got up at 2.30 am and left the house at 7am for new york, i walked for 90 minutes.

christmas eve, i saw 151.4 on the scale.

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:19:05 EST

today i weighed in at...get this...152.8
i completely missed 153.
okay, im not complaining that i missed it.

i was so happy to see 152!
that is so close to 149! i cannot remember the last time i was in the 140s.
it seems so low to me.

i only did 2 hours biking today. but i did throw in an hour walking.
of the two hours biking, i did 40 minutes upped resistance and 20 minu...

lowest adult weight reached today: choosing my hard.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:37:08 EST

so i weighed in at 154.2 today.
.2!!
the .2 excited me! yay for that!

i got up early and biked for 30 minutes cos i knew today was going to be rough. i had to clean, make 4 batches of cookies. 2 for the carolers, 2 to be shipped out to the fiance's coworker.
i figured begin it well and everything else would fall into place.

today was another day where i was just going all day. ALL DAY...

an ounce away from being the lowest weight i ever remember being!

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:19:27 EST

today i weighed in at 155.0.
.0!
exciting but a little torked off i didnt see 154.9 at least.

so, last summer i got down to 154... a week before i had to put duncan down.
right after that, all the rest of the stuff hit the fan.
his father passed away.
then the holidays.
then we went on vacation.
then we moved.
then his sister passed away.
then his mom.
and a ...

sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is not. four batches of cookies...

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:56:38 EST

so today i got up early---not as early as i had planned---but early enough.
i did 30 minutes biking and then began making two batches of snickerdoodles.
i dont much like them but i did almost pop one in my mouth when they came out in order to test. but i didnt.

after, made breakfast and then i made two batches of pumpkin cookies.
these ones i had a harder time with.
but, i managed to avo...

one down, two to go. sometimes i make myself proud and sometimes i dont.

Sat, 15 Dec 2012 22:12:49 EST

lets see.
yesterday i didnt workout. i went shopping which took forever. got home at 3pm having not eaten. i wanted something higher carb so that was on purpose. i forget my carb range yesterday... i think it was 23.
not bad.

today we had a very busy day. i got up at 6 am to do an hour biking. i actually got up, too. did an hour biking, cleaned a little and then we left to go see the hobbit. at our ...

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:45:31 EST

i didnt do at all what i wanted to do today.
i had written it all down in my handy dandy tracking notebook and then couldnt do it. i felt so ....run down after i got a shower. all day i revised my workout plan to be less and less.
not pleased.

i dont often feel run down like that. im either way pushing myself or im getting sick and it better not be the latter. i dont care about me but in my top five f...

the day! kinda disappointed in myself.

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:18:41 EST

ramblings.

Sun, 9 Dec 2012 21:56:47 EST

not much going on today.
only did 90 minutes biking.
i dont know why, either. i dont know exactly what i did with the day.

ending at 910 calories and 25 grams carbs.
carbs, honestly, are so high because of carrots and green beans.
thats 6 grams right there.

weighed in at 159 which isnt terrible.
thats about it for the day.

tomorrow is ab and arm strength trainin...

Sat, 8 Dec 2012 21:58:20 EST

the day began with good intentions.
got up early and biked for 30 minutes.
knew we were going shopping today and checking out the dogs kennel since our vet messed up and never told us that we'd have to kennel them for 6 days over the holidays because they will be closed instead of just the two days we need. so we had to go tour a kennel before shopping.
we didnt leave here until eleven... due to the fiance poking around doing stuff.
i had packed snacks and intended to st...

eggs and migraines.

Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:25:31 EST

day didnt go exactly as planned. and by that i mean, i was very irritated.
went shopping and a--i cannot find what im looking for. all i am looking for are engraveable christmas ornaments and a holiday dog collar for rock.
and b--went to the internet company. for anyone that does not know, our internet is absolutely horrendous since moving and despite the fact that we live off of a 4 LANE HIGHWAY and IN A SUBDI...
