I’ve missed you all

I haven’t posted in a while and I am apologize for that.  School, work and life have been so crazy lately.  I’m lucky when I get to sleep for 7 hours lately or eat a full meal.  But while I was chowing down on an amazing ginger sesame salad that I made (ginger sesame chicken, [...]

Thank you

Thank you for all the kind comments.  The support I have received is amazing.  You all are so wonderful.
Life for the next couple of weeks is going to be beyond hectic so I probably won’t be updating much until after I’ve gotten through this semester.
I hope you all are doing well.  The scale was up [...]

A Case of the Blahs

So I’ve been sitting her staring at my lunch.  A very nice leafy baby greens salad with 1/2 table spoon almonds, feta cheese and dried cranberries.  (I think there’s some celery in there too).   I think I’ve maybe taken a bite of it.  There is even a half cup of fresh pineapple right next to [...]

Quick post before bed

So today I spent 60 minutes on the elliptical, and it didn’t even feel like a workout.  The girl next to me was chugging away on her elliptical just like I was, in fact I think she was doing the same program and the little twerp (and she actually was little…as in skinny…normal sized) was [...]

Another Challenge

So on sparkpeople I’m currently doing a biggest loser type challenge.  Unfortunately there is no way that I’ll be the biggest loser during this round, I barely lost any weight.  But I may have a chance in the two week last chance challenge that our team is doing.  It looks at a bunch of things [...]

The start of a new month

So I stepped on the scale to see how effective clean eating was.  And I’m proud to say I’m down to 164.8.  I’ll take it.  I can’t wait to get down to the 150s but at least its not going back up again.  Clean eating is probably the best thing to happen to me.  Its [...]

Reflection

So my week of clean eating is up.  Technically if I wanted to I could go grab the first piece of cake that I saw and scarf it down.  But I don’t feel like it.  Funny, has this week of eating the way that we ideally should, changed my mindset?  I stepped on the scale [...]

Another update

Sorry my updates have been…well non-existent.  I’m in the process of pulling my thesis proposal together, which you know from my last update.  I had a comment asking what I’m studying.  Well, I’m studying Kinesiology (study of muscles and movement), and if everything goes as planned I will graduate with my masters of kinesiology in [...]

An update

So…thanks for everyone who stopped by my page. I haven’t given up, or turned around or even forgotten about you all…  its just that well my graduate thesis happened.
That’s what I’ve been doing the past oh week or so…work.  Lots and lots of homework and I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere.  But that’s because [...]

Day 3

So yesterday I did the following:

Calories: 1544
Water: 10 Glasses
Exercise: 1 hour 20 minutes

Overall I felt it was a good day.  The scale was up a little this morning, but that may be due to my high intake of sodium yesterday.  Today has been better and my sodium is about half of what it was yesterday. [...]
