Tummy pain & Starting a new blog, please please visit
I think I mentioned here once before that I was thinking of creating a website, some place I can post more of my photos and attempts at art, as well as stuff about my daily life. Eventually I will probably even post my dieting ups and downs there too. The main part of the site is still under construction but the blog section is up now. I'd love it ( Read more... ) -
Payback
I ate a very rich heavy pasta with a cream sauce today and the Fates have punished me. It's 2:30 in the morning and my tummy is killing me :(. I guess this will teach me to go off of my plan. -
One month down, A lifetime to go.
Well, my husband and I have been eating our low cholesterol vegetarian food for one month now. I can honestly say I haven't had a single food binge and in fact haven't "cheated". I could still make big improvements, give up my handful of pretzels and snack on carrots more often, but I am moving in that direction. I'd give myself a good solid B, ( Read more... ) -
Mind Control
I've spent most of my life feeling as if I were at war with my body, blaming it for my weight issues and unhealthiness. But lately I've come to realize that my body isn't the problem. My body doesn't actually want to be stuffed full of junk food. My body doesn't really love laying around and atrophying. In fact my body only wants enough food to ( Read more... ) -
New Motivation
I walked today, which wasn't in my plan but things change. I'd planned to walk M-F for an hour each day with weekend off. But last night my husband got his blood test results back from his physical and so today I drug him with me for a walk ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Walked an hour. My pedometer died half way through but I felt like I was walking my usual pace which would mean another 3 mile walk. I didn't achieve any lovely euphoric feelings after getting my exercise, actually I feel quite stiff. I think I may do a bit of yoga or stretching later to loosen up. Exercise is work but I'm going to stick to this. ( Read more... ) -

I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE..... :)
So, this morning I got off of my butt and went for a walk. I couldn't have chosen a better morning for it. Orange County finally got rain this weekend, after a year long dry spell. The air coming off the ocean is so clean and crisp you'd want to drink it. It was about 58-60 degrees. Perfect. And there was gorgeous light dancing off the ocean. Ideal ( Read more... ) -
Borderline high cholesterol
My love of cheese & ice cream has finally led to heartbreak. I got my blood work results back from the doctor's office and all the things I was worrying about (diabetes, hemochromatosis, & hypothyroidism) aren't problems for me. The results were normal in all those areas but it turns out my cholesterol is slightly elevated. Just a few points above ( Read more... )
