I've been a bad girl for the past little while. That is, I haven't been entirely honest with you. I have, in fact, been hiding a dark, nasty little secret. But now it's time to come clean. I'm nervous though, and a little bit ashamed, so be kind, okay? Okay. I can do this. Are you ready? Can I tell … [Read more...]
My Happy Weight
So, I've been thinking lately. I stress out so much these days about my weight... I've gotta lose ten more pounds...I never made it to my goal... And I keep doing all these different things to lose that extra 10 pounds: a personal trainer re-joining Weight Watchers fad diets (à la Sacred … [Read more...]
Me And My Trainer
Well, today I had my first visit with my new personal trainer. How did it go, you ask? Well...it went well! It wasn't too strenuous, it being the first time we'd met and the first chance she'd had to see me in action, so to speak. I warmed up lightly for 30 minutes on the treadmill, and she gave me … [Read more...]
20 Pounds and Counting
WEIGHT UP/DOWN THIS WEEK: +1.8POUNDS TO GO TO GOAL: 21.8 There is, evidently, no justice in this world. I went back on Weight Watchers program last week, and now, one week later, I actually weigh more than I did when I started. Oh! And I went to the gym three times - two aerobic workouts and a … [Read more...]
Retrospective
Ahh...it's the time of the turning of the year. A time to look ahead, but also a time to take stock. I decided this time to take a look not just over the past year, but over my entire weight loss journey to date. Why? Well, to re-motivate myself during the cold winter months ahead...this journey … [Read more...]
Weight Loss Reality TV
Okay, I know I've said it before, but I love me some weight loss reality TV. My original love and still all-time fave is X-Weighted (catch it on Discovery Health Channel Canada). It's just sooo...Canadian. The formula is this: each episode focuses on a particular individual who wants/needs to … [Read more...]
VICTORY!
Whew! The *#$% Sacred Heart diet is OVAH! Yeah, baby! AND! I am 4.6 lbs down from my last Weight Watchers weigh-in (2 weeks ago). This morning I weighed in at 172, which is CRAP when you consider where I've been (158 at one point), but GREAT when you consider the problems I'd been having lately. So, … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Four
Wow. Who knew that doing a weirdo fad detox diet could put you off food entirely? Today's regime was bananas & skim milk. I was hungry to begin with, but amazingly enough, eating only bananas has a way of making you prefer hunger to eating. And I like bananas. Get this though: I'm at the airport … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Three
Can I tell you what a luxury it was to actually eat fruit today? My hubby came home from work just raving about the apples he ate. Ahhhh...sweetness! I tell ya...if nothing else, this Sacred Heart Diet sure teaches you discipline. Tomorrow's nothing but bananas and skim milk - that should be … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Two
All right. Day two was hard. HARD! Can you imagine? Nothing but vegetables? Mostly raw & fresh? And your treat, treat! Is a potato. *help me* Well, it wasn't all that bad, and I actually figured out that I wasn't so far off from a decent Weight Watchers day in the end. I'm sure my body will … [Read more...]
