Weekend recap and weigh in
Remember when I weighed in when I wasn’t supposed to? Today was my official weigh in and my loss for this week was 1.4 pounds for a total of 102.2. Whooo! Am I bummed that it isn’t the 2.2 from Friday? Totally but I am over it. I went to my friend’s party on Saturday night and stuck to my plan of having only two adult beverages and ate in moderation. While everyone was...

Daily Intention (Health & Fitness)
theangrytherapist:
I will not snack. I will stay out of drive thrus. I will eat only if I am hungry and what I choose to eat will be based on nutrition instead of convenience, cravings, or coping.
Today, I will not abuse food.

Like a moth to a flame
I did something today that I shouldn’t have. I know what happens when I do this yet I did it.
I was putting in a load of laundry & glanced over to my scale. I’ve been solely counting calories this week. Anything I’ve learned through WW has been put on hold for now. My goal this week is to eat clean and stay within my daily calorie intake. I know how I react when I...

Reasons for losing weight
I was reading this post on reasons for losing weight. While I know being healthy is probably everyone’s number one reason, there are other reasons why we want to lose weight. In no particular order here are some of mine:
To feel confident in a group of people. I’ve always considered myself an introvert when in reality I am not. I just hold back because of my weight. I don’t...

Goodbye points, hello calories... at least for now
I’m feeling burned out on WW right now. With their online tracker being craptacular right now and getting non-answers for questions that I have about the plan, I just need a break. I still need to track my food and decided to go back to MyFitnessPal. I will continue to eat clean while keeping track of calories.
If you are on my MFP please feel free to add me.
I completed the fitness...

Weekly Weigh In
I gained one pound this week.
It wasn’t a good week but that’s in the past. Now it’s time to focus on the future taking it one day at a time. Plan for this week is to eat as clean as possible, complete week 3 of Couch to 5K and kick ass in the progressive marathon this Sunday. It will be the first time I attempt to walk & run a 5K and my goal is to complete it in...

Mo Money Mo Problems
At least that’s what Biggie says. But what about no money mo problems? Anyone ever write a song about that?
Between my reproductive system making me miserable and financial issues, this week has not been a good one as far as doing life. I was planning on starting Week 3 of Couch to 5k but I didn’t. I haven’t been eating terribly bad (except on Monday) but I’ve realized that I deal with...

Yesterday was a bad food day. Bad as in I ate everything in sight. I felt like a bottomless pit & couldn’t get enough food. I wanted chocolate, salt and everything else I could think of and what the body wanted the body got. The TOM monster was very happy yesterday.
This morning I have a food hangover. I pretty much feel like shit. Time to drink lots and lots of water. Ugh…

Weekly Weigh In
I lost .5 pounds this week for a total of 101.8 pounds lost so far. I was expecting a higher loss this week but with the arrival of a bitchy visitor this weekend I understand why the number is rather low. I stuck to my goal of going back to eating clean with the exception of two meals which I pre-planned at the beginning of the week. On Friday I went out with friends and only had two cocktails...

I'm thinking that this may be my next 10K
Awesome 80’s Run!
Doesn’t this look the coolest medal? Like totally!
So far LA & San Francisco have actual dates but there are many more dates in different cities waiting to be announced.
Leg warmers and oversized tops will be a must.

I was supposed to do C25K W3D2 yesterday but my right knee was bothering me all day. Last night I finally iced & elevated it for about an hour and took some Advil. This morning it felt better but since tomorrow is the Color Run, I decided to take today as a rest day as well. I didn’t want a bum knee to make tomorrow an uncomfortable morning.
I am going to enjoy the day tomorrow and...

Quinoa, bean & veggie salad
If you’ve ever watched day in life videos on YouTube, you may have heard of ShayCarl and his family the Shaytards. Shay lost a lot of weight and began a second channel called Shayloss. He posted this recipe and while it’s fun to watch him & his wife prepare the meal, it may be too long to watch for some since the video is almost 25 minutes long. I made it today and really...

Do Life 5k
What a difference a year makes. Last year, I was a ball of anxiousness going into this meetup. It was going to be my first 5k ever and I wasn’t confident that I could do it. I went out of my comfort zone and it totally paid off. Fast forward almost 1 year. I was excited about going to the Do Life meetup and seeing Ben & Pa and meeting new people who were doing life.
I met up...
