210 lbs. So I’m in the same place as a month ago, but I guess that’s ok for now. I’m going to switch gyms this week as the other one is now offering a Fall sign-up deal and has a pool so I can do lap swim.

212 lbs. Ugh. I hate not making progress. Do not pass Go, do no collect $200. I am thinking of switching gyms to one that has an indoor pool, I am getting tired of jogging and my arches are starting to hurt. I might have to look into orthotics or some better running […]

I’m back from a week or so of eating out and often, but the damage isn’t so bad. I’m back up to 212 lbs. We’ll see what I can do about that after hitting the gym today. Apparently stress encourages weight gain, I used to think stressed out people would eat less […]

As I mentioned in my other blog, I will be unexpectedly out of town for the next several days. I will try to watch what I eat, but we’ll see what happens. Airplane food, yech. Actually, these days they don’t even give you a meal. Better bring some granola bars. […]

I pushed myself extra hard today, in preparation for my weigh-in tomorrow. Ok, I admit it - I cheated and weighed myself today: 211 lbs. I really wanted to lose another pound this week, I don’t know if it will have overnight (literally). But we’ll see. But man am I sore! […]

I had my cholesterol tested recently and just got my results back. I found this reference on WebMD to help me figure out what it all meant. I talked briefly with my doctor about it over the phone, but he basically said what the website said, and that I should try to control […]

The Grande Caramel Frappacino. Creamy, sweet, and just enough kick to finish off the work day at noon. This is what happens when you have lunch with a co-worker… As I order my Caramel Frap, I remark how I shouldn’t be drinking this. The cashier kindly suggests a Light Frappacino. Light […]
