Why am I surprised?

August 10, 2011

I had a conversation via text today that sparked this post. The timing of the discussion was pretty serendipitous because I've been feeling some of the same things he was talking about in the past 24 hours or so (and a good portion of my life up until now). Bear with me while I try ...

I’m a Fighter

July 11, 2011

A while back, I asked if anyone had questions for me. I was searching for something to write about as I'm suffering from a bout of writers block and immediately wanted to respond to this question: Jennifer asked: I have been reading your blog about a month now and have felt very inspired. My journey is very ...

The Numbers of Progress

06.24.2011

The numbers of progress aren’t always on the scale. This week, I’ve been sick. Fever, shaky, dizzy, lightheaded. By the time I made it to the doctor yesterday, I had missed 2 days of work this week. One thing that REALLY perked me up? Normal pulse is between 60-100. Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80. Look at …

Fativersary

06.06.2011

Over the weekend I was going through some old files on my computer, trying to become somewhat organized. While I don’t care to share how poorly my organization efforts turned out, I do want to share something that I found out as a result: I just hit my 2 year fativersary. Two years ago, I topped …

Weigh In | 8.23.10

08.23.2010

I know I weighed last week, and you probably weren’t expecting a weigh in post since I’ve been doing them every 2 weeks. That being said, I restricted my calories again for the 2nd week in a row (not severely- around 1600-1900 a day, still low-carb), and checked the progress. Originally, it was for myself, …

Secret Sauce

08.12.2010

Everybody sing along: “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun” (Not to mention 590 calories and 34 grams of fat…) Can I just say something? I rocked it at the gym this week. I’m patting myself on the back today. I don’t care if anyone noticed, or if …
