http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof or I'm trying to anyway. Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:41:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I HATE this time of year. My courses are running full throttle: students are turning in drafts & polished projects & revisions & extra credit work & online discussion forums. I'm a grading/responding idiot right now. Last week as hubby & I pulled ourselves away from grading to head home, & ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/16/holy-cow-where-did-the-semester-go-already/ Okay, bad title, sorry. But this week I'm a little lighter, 3.8 pounds as of Monday...5.2 on Tuesday, but Tuesday doesn't count: I'm interested only in weekly weight as evidence of overall loss rather than random fluctuations. Haven't checked in b/c this week is from hell...again, but I kept track of ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/11/houston-we-have-liftoff/ I started the rules 2 years ago to get me thinking about how to lose weight. They include things like sitting down at the dinner table for dinner & turning off the TV...something that's much easier since we got rid of the TV downstairs & cable everywhere. Looking over the ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/07/the-rules-revisited/ Not so hot. There was stress a plenty this morning, but that's no excuse: some people do yoga or go for a run to overcome stress. Me? Well, hubby suggested Indian buffet & I was all about being a "yes" woman. One trip, 1/4 cup samples of the stuff, but there ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/06/so-hows-that-just-say-no-policy-working-out/ More on this later, maybe, but it hit me this morning that my life stretches out in alternating patterns of good living and bad living. I exercise, eat right, lose weight, get strong...& then I decide, "meh, not so much." For a while I rationalize what I'm doing: I'm a big, ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/05/back-at-the-fight/ McDs, that is. Ate just what I'd planned to yesterday & drove right by all the tempting goodies between campuses, but got home around 9:30 hungry, so had an ounce of cheese & 20 pretzels. It's a slow start here, but it's working out, I think. Today hubby made biscuits and gravy ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/04/yes-tiny2b-i-told-mickey-to-suck-it/ Okay, positive thoughts. Yesterday's eating was better & if I park in the far lot (pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point in the day), I'll get a nice little walk in today. My goal is a 2-pound difference by next Monday. Then multiply that loss by 30 & I'm ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/03/another-day-older-and-deeper-in-fat/ That's right, I woke to a facebook message from tiny2b this morning, telling me she's coming back to 3FC to record food/exercise progress & lose again. So...I'm joining her, back on the 3FC bandwagon, motivating to get back on the treadmill, thinking about what I need to get for groceries ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/11/02/must-pull-fat-butt-onto-bandwagon/ Okay, Nike reinforcement aside, how do I just do it? I'm stuck. I've been posting pictures to fb of my grad school days, not so long ago. & there's this one group shot where I'm at my healthiest...I was walking, doing yoga, doing pilates, eating right, moving like crazy...and I'm actually ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/09/29/how-do-i-get-back-into-health/ Yes, I've been a very bad blogger. But I so want to be good. Just not quite yet. Ya know what I mean? We got a slow (and then hectic) start to the semester when our union decided to str...errr...have a "job action." The kind of "job action" we had was ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2009/09/21/i-guess-i-neither-run-nor-write-these-days/
