Weigh In | October 11, 2010

October 11, 2010

One of the downsides to being a weight loss blogger is that when things don't go very well at a weigh in, you feel like you've let people down. Of course, I know this isn't the case, but still - if I'm going to share the good with the journey, I need to be honest ...

A Rambling Vlog

10.10.2010

Last night, I felt like I had so much to say, so I turned on my camera and just started talking. Most of it is rambling, but I wanted to post it anyway to show people that this whole weight loss/getting healthy process is SO MENTAL. Truly. I have battled emotional tug-o-war’s in my mind …

Fool me once, shame on you…

09.15.2010

You know the saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me?” Yeah. That’s the relationship I have with my scale. And it’s me who should be ashamed. Let me ‘splain. I have written over and over and over about how I’m ditching the scale. Yet somehow, in a moment of weakness …

Picture of Progress

07.01.2010

Thank you guys for putting up with me and my whining lately about scale frustrations, Biggest Loser delusions and pitting edema frustrations.

Weight Loss and Verifiable Outcomes

06.23.2010

I don’t talk about work stuff here because, well, this is a weight loss blog. But as I was leaving the gym this morning, I thought of something that might be kind of relevant. I’m a corporate marketer. I have my MBA in marketing. I judge the success of marketing initiatives by pre-defined metrics. You see, when …

Scale Boycott

06.15.2010

After yesterday’s disaster on the scale, I made up my mind to boycott it for a couple of weeks. Trainer Rob looked at my food journal and it seems to be in order. “Aunt Flo” isn’t in town, so it’s not that. When I got home from work, I noticed that my legs and feet …

Daily Weight Loss Accountability

05.13.2010

This weight loss journey is all about discovery. I tweeted yesterday about frustrations I was having with my scale. I’ve started daily weigh ins. “Why would you torture yourself like that” you ask. Good question! When I started this blog, I got on the scale on Tuesdays. My logic was that if I was bad on Friday …
