I fell off the wagon. And I couldn't deal with it, so I quit posting here.

Went through some hard times with the bipolar and quit recording my food and quit exercising.
I gained quite a bit back. I'm back up to 352. So I'm back on track again. I logged my food this morning, and I plan on strarting exercise as soon as I shake this nasty chest

I've been a little more active than I have been. I'm trying to get up earlier now to ease into school starting again. By mid next week, I should be getting up early enough to exercise in the morning. The boy and I are keeping active during the weekend, though ( Read more... )

I've been slacking on exercise the past 2 weeks. I've just had all sorts of stuff going on and didn't make time for it. My fault. My eating has been ok, but not great. I'm mostly within my calorie range, but I haven't been eating enough veggies and fruits. Bad me. Luckily I have not gained. I'm still at 340. This week, I am aiming to do Walk Away ( Read more... )

The scale said 341 this morning. That would be 29 pounds lost. I doubt it's official--the scale will likely go up and down some before that weight is real, but it's exciting ( Read more... )

So, I measured myself again this morning, and I'm down another half inch on my waist (a whole inch if I sucked in), so 44" now. And I've finally lost a noticeable amount on my hips. When I started, I had to estimate because the measure wouldn't go all the way around my hips. I estimate that my hips were at least 64" in May (more back in March/April ( Read more... )

I didn't do WATP on Tuesday because I got overheated walking to the bus, waiting out in the heat, and riding the stuffy bus home. So I drank a lot of water and collapsed on the couch instead. Last night I walked in place for 30 minutes while watching So You Think You Can DanceThis morning, the scale said 347. WHo knows what it will say on Monday. ( Read more... )

SO far I've done the 2-mile WATP two days in a row. I've given up on getting up early, so I did it last night after dinner. I'll do WATP after dinner tonight as well. Want to make it 3 days in a row of walking at least 2 miles a day. The boy did part of the WATP tape with me last night. I've got to come up with some active things we can do together ( Read more... )

I'm still at 350. A few days ago I was at 348, but the scale said 350 this morning. Whatever ( Read more... )

I've not been good about logging my food this weekend. I went out of town to pick up the boy and ate fast food on the way there and back. Still I made some good choices and some downright bad. I'm still not sure what the root of the eating the not so good stuff was (small chocolate shake). I got a good, short workout in yesterday when I moved some ( Read more... )
