30 days...

Wednesday, September 29th 2010

Yesterday I weighed myself 4 times.

I’ve been able to go one week and not step on the scale. When that week was over I went back to getting on that damn little square box 5 – 6 times a day. Next I went two weeks without getting on the scale. When that was over old behaviors crept in within a few days and I was back to weighing myself multiple times through out the day.

This is not a behavior I wish to keep.

I know I have a hard time setting boundaries for myself when there is n...

Getting back to basics

Sunday, September 26th 2010

So let's talk about getting back to basics.

I've been on this LCJ for 9 months. I've learned a lot of things a long the way. I've learned that I can count calories and stay within the numbers alloted. I've learned that there is a difference between my brain being hungry and my body being hungry. I've learned how to set small goals that are achievable instead of focusing on the end goal which seemed so far away in the beginning. I've learned how to feel emotions and to stay in the moment for...

I didn’t lose any weight.

Well I did, but not much. In fact this will be my lowest loss recorded since starting this journey over the course of...

Wow, where does one even begin to tell the events of this past weekend?

Should I begin with the Friday before the event where I thought it would be a good idea to practice taking the tires off of the rims of Peppermint Patty only to discover I A) don't have the slightest clue how to get the tires off of the rim (even though I watched countless videos on youtube and it seems simple enough) and B) am really good at gashing my inner tube to the point that I was frantically calling the bike sho...

What's in a number?

Thursday, September 16th 2010

Numbers are very important to me.

On this LCJ they’ve become the way I measure my success and my failures. They’ve become my constant reminder that I am trying to make some changes in my life that will hopefully get rid of the fat that I’ve carried around for most of my life and get rid of it for good. Numbers have become both my saving grace and my worst enemy.

Here are some of those numbers:

270 - my highest weight ever.

28 - average hours spent per week playing World of...
