I’m at a loss

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

With my weight, that is. Haha. ok, don’t kill me for being cheesy.
Official Friday weigh in is 170.2. Oh 160s, I can see you in the very near distance! Talk about motivation for staying on track this weekend.
The sleep thing - took my B vitamins at 1 p.m. (yeah, what was that about [...]

July wrap-up

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in| workout

This was a big month for me! I can’t believe July is already over and August is here. DH starts back to school at the end of August which means an adjusted schedule but we’ll make it work. Thank goodness he only has three more classes left and then he’s done.
So, let’s see. In July…

I [...]

I can’t complain

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Deep thoughts by Fat Pants| Weigh in

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 [...]

We have a piper down!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

I don’t know if anyone remembers that movie “So I married an axe murderer” with Mike Meyers. Every time I get clumsy or end up getting hurt somehow (I tend to run into walls, trip over my own feet, and bump into tables!), I always think of the line “We have a piper down!”
So that [...]

It is SO on!

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

This little competition we have going on has done wonders for my motivation. Yesterday I worked late, it was 90 degrees out by the time I got home and all I wanted to do was take a nap, but I strapped on my running shoes anyway and did some speed/hill work around the neighborhood. I’ve [...]

Restless!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

Yesterday was busy! I am starting to get antsy about traveling… excitement, anxiety (ugh, flying!), anticipation…ya know the drill. I couldn’t sit still so I started packing yesterday afternoon. I figured that if I get a jump start on it, hopefully I won’t forget anything. Well, packing at first is always so disorganized! So that [...]

Wearing my breakfast

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

Today I packed an unusually heavy lunch of angel hair pasta, three meatballs and spaghetti sauce, so I decided to switch things up and eat my lunch for breakfast and my breakfast (cottage cheese, crackers and apple slices with yogurt dip) for lunch. Halfway into my very delicious breakfast, a meatball flew off of my [...]

Ah, vacation

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in| workout

First off I would like to thank everyone in the military and their families for giving such a great sacrifice to protect our country. I have two cousins in the military and being that I live in a military town (we have five bases here), lots of friends and acquaintences who have served. So THANK [...]

It was a Venti morning

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

A Venti non-fat Chai latte, that is. (260 cals)
I ended up leaving work at 10am yesterday and taking a half day. I went home and slept for four hours! I couldn’t believe it. I was still feeling crummy, but kept wanting to run. How crazy am I? I am one of those people that looks [...]

Calling all nerds

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

I saw this mentioned on the forum and quickly signed up: http://www.fridgegraph.com
I know I have mentioned before that I graph my weight loss on Excel sheets…well, I’m starting to get a lot of excel sheets and it’s kind of lame switching back and forth between the graphs, so this graph consolidates all the data into [...]
