BLOG STORY THE SECOND

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you... Read more

It's April already

Saturday, April 6th 2013

Weight obsession is an interesting thing. Well, maybe not weight obsession but certainly food obsession. Why can't I just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. The "full feeling" isn't all that strong, but I can feel it (at least most of the time). However, once I hit that point, I just keep eating and that's the problem.

Other obsessions: too much fat, not enough fat, too much carbs, not enough carbs, not enough dairy, not enough protein, not enough fiber. And the list goes...

Weigh in

Friday, January 18th 2013

My weight is down to 191.75. Good job, Cecily:rock1::rock1::rock1::rock1:

My exercise the past few days has consisted of rearranging my office, the bedroom, and next -- the living room and "junk room." It isn't exactly listed on the CK site, but it feels like exercise for sure.

School starts next Tuesday. Before then I have a bunch of "pre-assignment" stuff to take care of -- DB introductions, syllabus quizzes, etc. Plus I have a couple of dorky assignments due for my MA class: a DB on the...

"Fit Queens" Goals -- Week 1

Sunday, January 13th 2013

Okay, I'm in for the next 10 weeks. I'm doing a weight loss challenge at the local gym, so this is one more way to keep my focus. I've never done this before, but I'm gonna give this first week a shot for 5 queens:

>>Be no more than 100 calories over target: 6/7 days
>>Consume no more than 250 calories from alcohol in ____/7 days (I like this one a lot 'cause I still get to have my Saturday drink with hubby:eyebrows: )
>>Complete at least 180 minutes per week of cardio or stren...

First weigh-in of 2013

Friday, January 4th 2013

This morning weight was 194.25! Granted, I was a little dried out, but that's what happens with standardized weighing: get up in the morning, go to the bathroom, get naked and weigh! According to my records (and CK), I'm down 2.25 pounds since last Friday. Measurements indicate that it's all body fat, so I am truly psyched about this little journey.

Today will be a semi-controlled free/binge day. I don't want to get too carried away, but I do want to gain some weight for the contests. It w...

WooHoo!!

Thursday, January 3rd 2013

Down to 194.5!!! Way cool! Goal: stay here until tomorrow, weight and measure, then work on "water-gain" for Saturday a.m.

I need to go get dressed, make the bed, etc. Then I'm headed to the bank and gym. When I get back I'm going to spend some time working on biochemistry and then take the test just to see what it's like. After that, I'm going to go get my hair fixed and buy some bran muffins for Saturday weight-gain-in!
