I CAN fit in my pants!

Gosh, I have so much to write about!
Week 1 Recap

Pounds lost: 1.6 (gasp!)
Inches lost: 3.5 (double gasp!)

Final October weight: 157.0 (5.6 lbs lost for the month). SUPER happy about this… it was way more than I expected, especially after a slow September.
Ok, what do I think of CE so far? I think it’s awesome and [...]

It’s been another long week. The days just seem to be dragging. I am BURNT OUT.. oh sweet vacation, just four weeks away! Please come soon!
Since the weather was mighty sucky yesterday, I went to the gym to run. I had planned on 5 miles but then remembered I’m racing on Saturday! Last week after [...]

I know I updated once today, but this has been on my mind the past several weeks.
Once you reach your goal weight, are you afraid of gaining it back?
I had a tough time over the weekend. We had a really messed up schedule (concert in Denver on Friday night - planned, but then my MIL [...]

Weigh in: 165.4 - ok scale. whatever. be that way.
What a week.
What a LONG week. Thank goodness for 3-day weekends!
The week started with a long conversation with my boss about ways to improve customer satisfaction. I wasn’t being blamed or anything, but it was just a thoughtful conversation and it got me thinking/excited about ways [...]

I have training from 8-whenever (I’m leaving at 3 no matter what) today so it’s an early update for me. I’ve (unofficially) hit my Labor Day goal of 165 so I’m in a pretty good mood despite the fact that I think someone ran over my head with a steamroller while I slept last night. [...]

Sorry, I’ve not been able to get to checking everyone’s journals… had a few meetings yesterday and a long talk with my boss about some of the communication issues going on! I feel pretty good about everything and did some research into my particular position (tech writer) and customer satisfaction. Very interesting stuff! I have [...]

Did anyone read this book when they were little? It was one of my favorite books to read - the illustrations were amazing! They’re coming out with an animated movie based on the book this fall…not sure I will go see it, but it should be fun for kids. It’s cloudy and rainy today… the [...]

This whole dieting thing, that is.
I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall. I get down on myself for not eating perfectly, for not exercising, for the scale being ridiculous with its fluctuations. I’m annoyed with myself for feeling obsessed with weight loss. I’ve dreamt about it a few times. I never used to weigh [...]

Woke up to 40s (yes, 40s!!!), gray, rainy and wet. Yuck! Days like today make me wish I was at home, curled up  in bed with a good book and my cat. Hmm, only 6 more hours of work…
Honestly. It feels like Christmas will be here soon with the way this weather is going. I [...]

Sometimes I get so caught up in meeting goals that I forget to look at the big picture. I like setting mini-goals for myself because it keeps me motivated… this shouldn’t surprise me since one of the reasons why journalism worked well for me is because I was always up against deadlines. I’m a procrastinator [...]
