Like Any Good Superhero Movie... Reboot.

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:52:30 EST

Okay. I've done it. I've moved apartments. And so, it is once again time to get serious about my health issues. We are (mostly) unpacked, and the treadmill is in it's new home. Time to step it up.

I've said it a dozen times before, and I'm saying it now. Game on. Exercised for the last two days (a nice walk in the park nearby, and walked for just a bit on lunch today, just to be in the sun). Still attempting better choices, if not the best choices, as I go throughout my wee...

How It Feels When You Get It Right!

Wed, 30 May 2012 11:12:40 EST

So, because I have so little faith in myself, I find myself slacking and getting down on myself simply because I am pretty much always approximately 200-300 calories above the recommended amount per day. Which has only frustrated me, leaving me with the thought "if I'm watching what I'm eating and going over still, how many frackin calories was I going over before???!??!??!?"

Monday night was a nightmare of food. My friend made a honey glazed ham, homemade mashed potatoes, gravy,...

The Painful Truth about my Addiction to Bagels

Sat, 19 May 2012 10:30:18 EST

I seriously need to just accept the fact that bagels give me heartburn. Specifically Dunkin Donuts bagels, but that could just be because I eat them the most. I love bagels. I love cream cheese. I hate feeling this way. I think this morning was my last Dunkin Bagel.

Sometimes I have them at home. Why is it that a nice bag of ShopRite bagels costs me $1.50, but if I want bagel THINS to cut down on the calories it's like a dollar or two more? Further proof that it takes money ...

A bit better today

Mon, 7 May 2012 20:25:28 EST

I still went over my allotted calories for the day... but I know it's because my boyfriend was here and could only stay an hour (we are looking at apartments together) and he complained about being hungry so we had to grab something quick. Although I know I shouldn't have let it interrupt my day, it was just easier AND whereas I would normally get two slices of pizza I only had one. But I still had the side of bleu cheese to dip it in. I'm frustrated with myself, but glad that I measured ou...

College Reunion Weekend

Sun, 6 May 2012 23:02:09 EST

So I didn't watch what I ate this weekend at all. And I don't regret a moment of it. I was with the people I love doing the things we loved to do when we were in college. And yes, that was when I was at my heaviest... until now. I had lost the weight after I graduated and put it back on two years later on my own. I do not regret ANY food (or drinking) decisions I made this weekend. Specifically.

It's the pictures that are killing me. I look so heavy in so many of the picture...

Proof of measurements

Thu, 3 May 2012 20:28:45 EST

So today was a "think about what you are eating, and try not to over do it" day. I needed to see where I am when I think I'm doing "okay" but know I should be doing better. So I went about my food business as I usually would on a day when I'm watching but not pushing myself.

And I learned that measuring everything is going to be a necessity for myself.

I overate a LOT today, and to me this was a "normal" day without many/any real treats.

I haven't had health...

Starting Tomorrow

Wed, 2 May 2012 20:47:34 EST

Okay, now I know that sounds like a cop out; it's what we always say. "I'll start tomorrow." I know I've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand even.

But I will start tomorrow. And the only reason I'm "starting tomorrow" is that there isn't enough "today" left to start with. Other than the fact that there is a WISE bag of Sour Cream and Onion potato chips sitting in my kitchen right now. And that I am purposely not eating them right now. That can count for today... right? ...
