It’s only Tuesday?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: workout

I took some inspiration from Beerab and made an About Fat Pants page. Maybe one day I’ll get to post progress pictures there!
So yesterday I REALLY got back on the exercise wagon. I took a 15-minute walk at work (in heels, no less!), then ran/walked on the treadmill at the gym for 30 minutes. Then [...]

At 170 lbs I’d be halfway to my ultimate goal!

It’s a big deal, and it’s not a big deal

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Sometimes I think - in terms of dieting - that in order to make this a long-lasting thing, it has to NOT be a big ordeal in order to make things work. The times I have tried dieting (and failing) before, it had always been a big deal in terms of obsessively calorie counting, strictly [...]

Reunited, and it feels so good…

I have a few things to be happy about!
1) I’m a size smaller in tops now! I went shopping for some new work clothes (finally decided it was time to start dressing my age.. I’m almost 27 for crying out loud!) and found a cute dark blue blouse that fits perfectly. It’s a 14/16 when [...]

Wow

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Food| Weigh in

Today (TOM and all) I stepped on the scale fully expecting to see a gain, given we ate out last night and while I was healthy, I overate maybe by 100 calories or so from dinner once I got home and totaled everything up. So I did my DVD for 40 minutes and hoped things [...]

So for my official weigh in today, I dropped to a solid 198.0 lbs. It has been a long time since I’ve seen 198. Too long, in fact. I’m not sure I even remember blowing past 198, like, three years ago. My goal was to get to 197 this week and there’s a fair chance [...]

Running on empty

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I am sooo tired… just plain exhausted. DH is sick and since he’s sick, he can’t sleep. And because he can’t sleep, I can’t sleep. Sunday night I think I got about 4 hours of sleep. Tuesday was a bit more… DH slept in the guest bedroom so I think I got about 5 hours. [...]

Today for my official weigh in, 198.6 flashed before me and I leaped for joy. FOR JOY! Yippee! My calories for the week have been a little wonky, but it resulted in a loss so I can’t complain.
There are a few days that are a lot lower calorie count (around 1100) than I should have been, [...]

Oh rly? Yes rly.

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Running is my life| Weigh in

198.8 flashed on the scale this morning and I jumped for joy. Could it be that I am finally dropping weight? Let’s hope so! My calories had been kind low (around 1200-1300) the past few days, and yesterday we went out to dinner (not fast food!), but I looked at the menu online beforehand and picked [...]

Test results are in

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Health

And I am….  HEALTHY! 100% healthy. There’s nothing wrong with me. Nada! To tell you the truth, I’m a little shocked… since diabetes runs in my family, I expected some sort of problem with insulin, but not so (this makes me happy). My cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HLD all look fantastic. My fasting glucose was [...]
