Yesterday’s weight: 170.0
Today’s weight: 167.6
See what happens when I only eat half a box of Junior Mints!
So the bad news is that the doctor confirmed what I had suspected: stress fractures in both legs. The marathon is over before it even began. I am totally bummed out. Ah understatement. It’s all I thought and talked [...]

Weight: 169.2
Last night I did a behavior I haven’t done in a very long time. I’m not proud of it. I did it on purpose because I was angry, hurt, frustrated and in a lot of pain.
It looks like I have stress fractures in both legs (shins). I can barely walk. I hurt SO MUCH. [...]

I’m officially gluten-free. Well, sort of. It takes the body 6-8 weeks to “detox” gluten. But as of today, I am no longer ingesting the stuff. I am allergic (or intolerant, take your pick. It doesn’t really matter to me. My body can’t process it properly and the longer I eat it, the sicker [...]

Weight: 160.4
Monday and TOM have joined forces to add invisible pounds to the scale. I have nothing that could account for a two pound gain in two days. (They probably shot JFK too!)
I was totally going to get up and do my 45 on the elliptical this morning. The alarm went off and I hit [...]

This week was crazy. Ok, so most of my weeks are crazy. That’s a given. But this week was a bit crazier than the usual. It’s been very stressful getting my grandparents moved into the retirement home. It’s kinda like a sorority house for seniors. It’s very homey and nothing like a nursing home. Even [...]

Yesterday = fiasco
Let’s just say Jack in the Box, Taco Bell and Doritos all made an appearance. And I felt it BIG TIME. I was uncomfortable and had a hard time sleeping last night. My stomach felt distended and I just felt bloated. Even my hand feel fat. I didn’t even weigh in this morning. [...]

A.M. weigh in: 164.0
I did my first run today: 1.5 miles in 22 minutes. That approx. 14 min 30 sec miles. Not exactly breaking any landspeed records there. But totally better than my average of 17.5 minute miles when I ran my 5K back in December. So that’s actually an improvement. Scary, huh!
I created a [...]

A.M. weigh-in: 165.0
I found these at Claire’s last night. I also got a matching necklace and bracelet. I’m going to wear them often as a reminder of my goal. I feel so energized and inspired. I am determined to do this!!
This is going to have to be short and sweet. I’ll update when I can. [...]

A.M. weigh-in: 166.0
Even though my weight is still up, I sure I’ve come out of my depression. Thank Goodness. The hopelessness and self-hatred of the past few months is gone, as is the overwhelming sadness and loneliness. I just feel “better”, like after battling a long and persistent cold (speaking of, I think I’ve come [...]

A.M. weigh-in: 158.2 (and that’s a good thing?!! how sad, so very sad!!)
I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym last night. I also went over some of the leg weight machines with my trainer there and booked an hour appointment for next week. Because…
I do NOT have torn cartilage in my knees!! [...]
