YORKVILLE's CalorieKing Blog
Getting stronger
Friday, December 21st 2012
Well,I thought it was about time to check in on my blog. I have been really frustrated with myself the past few months because I haven't lost any weight since coming back to CK.
I know why. I eat too much. I am having a hard time with the calorie reduction thing and I will be really good for 2 weeks, lose a couple pounds, then go back to eating the same amount of calories as before and gain back the 2 pounds. Also I am not always honest with myself... I fiddle with the numbers ...

My motivation has waxed and waned... right now it is pretty high with the challenge I am running.
Unfortunately I haven't lost any weight and have actually put on a couple ...

Getting back on the wagon
Tuesday, October 2nd 2012
Today is a serious check-in.My life has been taken hostage the last month with planning a party (that happened on the weekend) and preparing for my salsa performance which is happening this coming weekend. I have been so busy organizing and stressing out over these things that I haven't had any time to dedicate to logging my calories and getting planned exercise in.
Now that the biggest of my hurdles is over (the party) - and I am SO CLOSE to getting through the salsa performance, I ...
