Elliptical Raves & Ticker Updates

Posted by: seekingskinny In: Ticker Time!| Weight Loss

My elliptical was dusty. Stored & lonely. I was on the verge of selling it on Craigslist for an extra buck. Thank goodness I came to my senses and started using the thing again.  It is one of the most simple, low-impact workouts to do. Plus, I always sweat while using it. Great stuff.
Why did [...]

I’ll just jump right into the blog entry because it is very late, and I may fall asleep at any moment.

I have no earthly idea how it happened but i lost two, i repeat, two pounds from yesterday. This finding came as a shock to me mainly because yesterday I ate carbs galore. I mean, that is literally all i had.
Plus my celebratory drinking led me to stay up a bit later than i usually would have, and [...]

YES! YES! & OH YEAH! Were the sounds I made as I danced on the bathroom scale this morning. Down another .2 lbs for the third day in a row! After the scale boogie, I walked proudly over to my Special K Berries box and dug right in.

My Swimsuit

First and foremost, I’d like to take the time to share a pic of my wonderful dog, on her 5th birthday. Luna, or as I like to call her “Loony Bin” , is a charming, intelligent, feisty little thing. We wouldn’t have it any other way. She is seen here enjoying the plate of healthy treats we gave her! Can’t you tell?
      
 While [...]

So, I still feel fat. I don’t notice a big change in my clothing. WHY?!? The scale says I lost almost 19 lbs now. Isn’t 20 lbs a lot to lose? Could it be Psychological? I am getting so frustrated. Have any of you lost 20lbs but still felt the same? Please help…
Okay, enough bitching…inhale/exhale…better.

Posted by: seekingskinny In: Effing Awesome!| Healthy Alternative| Ticker Time!| Weight Loss

It seems as if I have been on a steady weight loss of .2 lbs a day or 1 1/2 lbs per week. I’ll take what I can get! Yesterday, I went to the local Fruit/Veggie Shop and spent 20.00 on a box full of organic goodies! Look forward to the pictures…they are so pretty.
