Una ragazza magra

Well, this time my blogging silence meant I took a trip off the deep end.  It all started with a visit to my parents last weekend.  I knew I was going to go off (what else can you do at an Italian buffet??), and then I knew x was coming up, and then y, and [...]

Things have been going so well, and then I had to eat at Pizza Hut for lunch today.  I say “had to” because we ate lunch with two of DH’s work friends, and that’s where they chose.  There are seriously no good options there.  I had half a P’zone and some spinach and artchoke dip, [...]

Yesterday went decently well, as did today.  My calories are still in check, but I need to get back to eating the “right” balance of foods.  I’ve gotten lazy and have been skipping some of my protein as well as the veggies.
I think that by tomorrow morning I will have recovered from the Taste of [...]

The Taste of Tippecanoe happened.  Today I woke up, weighed myself as always, and clocked in at an all-time low of 154.5!  That’s right– I even weighed five times in different spots on the floor (perhaps it was unlevel?!?), and it gave me the same number each time.  I even weighed later in the day, [...]

It’s been an up and down week, but I’ve still been making an effort, even though I’ve stopped posting (just been busy this week).  On Monday I ate out at BD’s Mongolian Grill, and I did better than I could have– one bowl of stir-fry (instead of a non-dieting three), and that really isn’t too [...]

After I wrote the last post, I updated my ticker on the bottom right and realized two things:
1.  My BMI is “healthy” again finally.
2.  I have less than 20 lbs. left to go before I get to my goal weight.  That’s pretty amazing, I think, considering where I started from.
Go me!

I had a slight setback today in working out; I forgot my shoes.  That’s right– I got all the way there and realized I didn’t have my shoes (I was wearing flip-flops, not allowed in the workout area).  They close two hours early on Fridays, so it was close, but despite having to go back [...]

Today went very well…not much to report.  I avoided a snack buffet at work.  It really helps if I just don’t even go in the break room, period.  Work hasn’t been a problem in months, and before that was one of my biggest challenges.
I didn’t work out today because I teach in the evening, but [...]

Here’s the latest photo I added.  It was taken at the wedding we were at on Friday.  You can view the rest of my progress pictures here.

I haven’t posted in a few days, but I’m still dieting.  I went with my husband on his National Guard weekend, so I didn’t post these past few days.  Basically, I’m back where I was on Thursday.  I went to a wedding on Friday (small disaster– subway during the day because DH was part of [...]
