And the weight just keeps falling off. Seriously, I just lost two and a half pounds in five days and I DIDN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES! Well, I might have been drinking more water than normal, but I don't think it would make that much difference. Maybe bodies just do their own thing. Still, when I look at weightloss by month rather than by week, I seem ( Read more... )

So I had three gigs in Indianapolis this weekend, which was great. Since I didn't trust Indy to have a vibrant vegan community (nor did I have time to find it), I decided to pack all my own food ( Read more... )

What a disappointment! I hardly lost any weight! 0.8 lbs, which could come down to a single glass of water before bed. Argh! I blame Spring Break. I need to stop sloughing off ( Read more... )

Well, having classes end this week, having a pre-Purim shabbat eve gig last night, having a dance piece show at Studio 111 tonight, and competing all weekend in an inter-collegiate game design competition have caused me to only make it to the gym twice this week. Crap! And I was doing so well. Next week is spring break for me, so I'm going to ( Read more... )

Ok, I know that might not seem like much cause for celebration but the real issue is that, according to my body fat percentage, I made the jump from "obese" to "overweight" this week. Everyone may start congratulating me now! Next stop: "moderate ( Read more... )

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Maybe the fact that I'm lifting weights (and therefor adding muscle) is slowing the weight loss but not the fat loss. Somehow, six pounds doesn't seem like much, but I have lost a whopping two inches off my waist, so who knows ( Read more... )

Well, the slow march to health continues with another 1.8 lbs shaved off my body. I know that a slow, steady burn is the healthiest way to lose weight; it's also the method most likely to keep the weight off. I can't help wishing things were moving faster, though! I guess that's a result of living in fast-paced, instant-gratification New York ( Read more... )

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. My response kind of kept going and going until I decided it needed its own journal entry. I want to reiterate that it is not my desire to be argumentative or evangelical.  Rather, I'm attempting to explain what my faith means to me in a way which is understandable to you.  This is done out of love and the ( Read more... )

I saw something beautiful today. A friend of mine has a forearm covered in scars from cutting herself. I have other friends who used to cut themselves so, although I don't understand it, it doesn't freak me out. This girl, however, had significantly more scarring than I'm used to seeing ( Read more... )

Well I've made some progress, which is nice. Going is slow, of course, but it's only been a week. I think it'd be a lot easier to eat healthfully if the gas in my building weren't turned off. I miss cooking so much! In any case, here's the current situation ( Read more... )
