The highway of depression
Wednesday, June 16th 2010
I spent seven years on this highway. I got on this road right after an emotional break up when I was 31. I walked into my doctors office, filled out a questionnaire measuring my level of depression (off the charts) and was given a prescription for Paxil. Within 6 months I was up to 40 mg a day, feeling better and never a word from my doctor about the other avenues I could take to combat my depression. Not once were the words nutrition, exercise, cognitive behavior therapy or j...
5k recap / vibrams update / stuff
Monday, June 14th 2010
My number was 6605It was spectacular on so many levels. First off it was a huge turnout or at least huge in my eyes. There were 850+ runners for the 5k portion and 2500+ runners for the 12k. This was serious business. How did I know that? There was no pre-run beer garden set up as there was for the Great Kilted Run.
To say I was nervous about this race would be an understatement. I wasnt nervous because I didnt know what was going to happen. This was my second race, I knew there w...
New Scale and OWiS #24
Saturday, June 12th 2010
My trusty scale is no longer trusty. Its old and it begged me to put it out of its misery. I complied. I bought a fancy new scale with all kinds of buttons. Of course as with all the other stories I heard about buying a new scale, I anticipated a different weight. I came home, set it up and then let it tell me my numbers.About a two pound difference.
Okay, not bad. Will make for a small loss this week (but not really). The important word in that last sentence: Loss. There is one a...

I was at the gym this morning when I saw this on the back of someones shirt:Live your potential
My first thought was Oh man thats going to make a great blog theme My second thought was what the hell does that mean? I mean seriously, what does that mean? Do I even know what my potential is and if I did how do I measure the successes?
Right now Im comparing what I used to do (eating my way to an all time high of 275 pounds and playing world of warcraft until my eye...

It's hard to get settled in after being away for almost a week. I'm not sure if that's the way it is for most people. It doesn't really matter if I'm away for 24 hours or for 24 days. I spend a few days upon my return making sure everything is as it was when I left. Nothing lost. Nothing moved. Pets accounted for. Car still parked where I left it and a Husband fed properly in my absense.I love my Polar FT4 except I'm still trying to emotionally adjust to the lower kcal numbers it's giving...
