http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof or I'm trying to anyway. Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:32:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 183 pds, and I'm 5" I've gained and lost the same damn 20 pounds for 3 years now. Kidding myself about my weight...fine, whatever. Killing myself with my weight...NOT OKAY! Hubby got us a new doctor who is pretty proactive. Not medication wise, it's just a different attitude about health that I think I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2012/01/27/lets-get-honest/ The Fast Five site says to wait 3 weeks to start seeing results, mostly because people take the "eat whatever you want between 5-10" as an invitation to eat as much as they want during that time. I'm guilty of a little of that, and hubby and I have had ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/10/30/fast-fivepretty-easy-but-effective/ I've been doing some intermittent fasting this week to break through it & I think I have, finally. Thinking about trying this for a bit: Fast Five. I don't mind fasting...even kinda like it, like the way it makes me feel, and like the way it alters my relationship with food. And ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/10/08/stupid-stupid-plateau/ I haven't taken the dog for another run because every run is rainy these days and I'm regularly surprised about making it through a normal day without breaking my own neck: add running, rain, and dog to the mix and I figure I'd just be tempting fate. So...happy about the runs. ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/09/29/running-okay-weight-loss-plateau-chocolate-cravings-you-betcha/ Does it count if it was unintentional and the miles were spread out over a 12-hour period? My guess is, no. Doesn't count. Nice try, though. Ran/walked my two miles in the morning. The bike pants (really, quite long) worked pretty well under sweats, but add to that my jacket that I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/09/21/hey-hey-5k/ The two pounds I gained last week are gone again and good riddance. Now to add a two-pound loss onto next week to make up for it. I did a 1-mile run/walk yesterday in the pouring down rain. But I think I've decided I never learned to run when I was ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/09/20/breaking-even/ Inspired by the weather and a sense of bravery I can't account for, I did a run this morning, a 5K in 45 mins. Not fast for a normal runner, but for me this was FAST! So the plan is a long run on weekends with shorter runs during the week: Monday=1mile, ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/09/17/a-run/ And apparently I can live with that. I'm finally seeing new movement on the weight tracker to the right, which means I've caught up to and slightly surpassed where I was in the summer. Phew! Now with full-on atkins living, I'm losing about 1.2 pds one week and 2 the following. So...3.2 ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/09/06/slow-and-steady-apparently/ Back to school, back on Atkins, back to losing. It was a near-wasted summer, but I'm back to losing 1.4 this week, 1 last week, and because of past efforts (that I really shouldn't forget) I'm fitting into fall clothes that didn't fit last fall. So that's a big YAY! ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/08/30/okay-im-doing-it/ 20 pds! Me? Not so much. In fact, I gained in Baton Rouge. I'm still under, but I'll be digging myself back to where I was for the next few days. Oh, and over the next few days, I'll be taking a very quick trip to Denver... But I'm not going to get ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2011/07/17/hubby-hit-his-goal-weight/
