Saturday, January 21, 2017 12 comments Today is the very first weigh in day of the Winter 5% challenge, and, not surprisingly, the scale is up. Confession: I AM A DAILY WEIGHER. Why? Because I loooooove data. I'm a numbers girl, and I'm very observant of patterns. So no, ... Read more
I Want Your Opinions, please
Tuesday, January 17, 2017 40 comments Okay so I'm doing this with hesitation because the last time I posted something involving something similar I was accused by a stranger of wanting attention. I ordered 3 bikinis. I'm keeping them all. But I'm not feeling confident about th... Read more
A Theory
Tuesday, January 03, 2017 15 comments For most of December my weight hovered around 172 with my lowest weight at 169.4. My original goal weight was 160, but I've put on muscle and lost inches despite those 12 lbs. Still, I'd like to get a bit farther away from 175 so I have a bigge... Read more
My Christmas (LONG!!!!!!)
Thursday, December 29, 2016 14 comments I had a very nice Christmas! The Hubs, Bingley and I drove to Richmond, Va, to spend Christmas with my maternal birth family. I love this part of my family: it's where I get my sarcasm, sticktuitiveness, warmth and sense of humor. I fit right in... Read more
My Day Off

Post-Thanksgiving Update and Stress Eating
Sunday, November 27, 2016 21 comments My dietary changes have gone really, really well. Until yesterday. On Thanksgiving morning I ran my very first officially timed 5k, a Turkey Trot! I was nervous that I wasn't going to do well, but I'd told myself if I made a sub 40-minute ... Read more
A Wild Plan - Update
Sunday, November 20, 2016 9 comments I'm now a week into this plan and I have to say it's going really well. I tracked EVERYTHING I ate, used my heart rate monitor for all my workouts, and last week I had a calorie deficit of 2629. I'm very happy with that, considering one night I ... Read more
A Wild Plan Appears!
Monday, November 14, 2016 18 comments I'm really toeing the line of being under 100 lbs lost. At my lowest weight I was 160, and this morning I'm 173. This is unacceptable, especially going into the holiday season. I've been stressed, and this has lead to emotional eating, especiall... Read more
