Summer didn’t turn out as I had planned. I signed up for two dance classes, derby boot camp, & trampoline. After being injured in derby, I dropped trampoline for hula hoop. Throughout the entire summer, I exercised 6 days each week for 1-3 hours each day.
In August, my other classes ended, & I advanced to the next round [...]

Well, my sister & her family left a few days ago. No one said a thing about my weight loss. I’m not certain why.
Did no one notice? Has everyone been conditioned to avoid the topic of weight around me? Is the possibility that I’m at least starting to look conventionally pretty offensive or scary? I [...]

One of the things I dislike about my family is that they seem to rarely think of anyone other than themselves. One of the things I admire about my family is that they do things for themselves that make them feel good about themselves.
Believe me, my family is not sitting at home wondering how to [...]

OK, so I’m not going to give a big blustery speech about how *this time* everything’s going to change. I won’t prattle on about how things are different, or make promises I’ll fail to keep.
I’m just going to post the following & let my actions speak for themselves:
Starting weight: 208.8

Finally! My scale moves… DOWN!
207.4 today! That’s a four pound loss from when I weighed myself last a couple of weeks ago. Yay! I’m so relieved to see that darn scale move in the right direction!
I suppose it helped that *I* moved in the right direction all last week, too

This past week marked my first week back on schedule. I’m feeling great, & I lost an even FIVE pounds! Just a little more than eight pounds to lose before I’m in Onederland!
That feels amazing :-D
This time last year, I was wondering if I would ever see under 200 pounds again, & now I’m almost there. Yay!
OK, [...]

Just wanted to stop in to say I’m back on track. Down another two points: 213 lbs. Diet today stayed under 1300 K. I didn’t do an exercise tape, but - per my new commute — I briskly walked about 20 blocks up & down hills. Next week, I’ll return to kickboxing. But, today, right [...]

I’ve been in a workout slump lately. The kickboxing classes I attend at my gym are now *way* *to* *crowded* (thanks in part to my awesome instructors being voted best in the city - kudos to them, but ugh for me). So, I’ve started working out at home & I’ve incorporated yogalates/walking/jumping rope/etc… into my [...]

Thankfully, my Morrissey moment has passed Sometimes, I think, it is good to acknowledge our inner whiney child. Other times, it is good to kick its a**.
As for my Win a Trip to Paris Challenge — you know, the one where my hubby will take me to Paris next Christmas if I weigh 200 [...]

So, I made it through Halloween! How did everyone else do? Do you have a small bowl of candy still tempting you, too? What happened to all the trick-or-treaters?!?! When I was a kid, we used to flood the neighborhood. Now, everyone goes somewhere “safe” (probably a good idea) & leaves me with extra candy [...]
