If you are in the least bit interested in fitness and exercise (and it helps if you’re a geek or nerd like me), do yourself a favor and head over to Fitocracy.com. It’s my newest “thing,” and I don’t see my obsession dying out anytime soon. The site is still in beta at [...]
So… I just got back from spending a week on the beach during my family vacation. I knew I was eating too much, but my general line of thought was “Ehh, I have lost 60 pounds already, if I gain a couple back I can re-lose them easily enough.” So I ate, and ate, and [...]
I have completed my first week back after my one week break. I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it really was. I think I kind of psyched myself out because week six went so badly, since I was getting sick but didn’t realize it yet. Doing week seven with a normal [...]
I watched the (first?) episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition the other night and was struck by a few initial thoughts. The show follows one person per episode on a one-year dramatic transformation from “super obese” to normal-sized person. It follows a similar format to other weight loss shows, except that it goes into [...]
I’m starting to get very, very frustrated with my lack of weight loss. I am exercising more than I have in quite a while, I am keeping close track of my calories, I am choosing healthier foods over less wise options… and yet, nothing seems to be happening. My gut is as flabby and awful [...]
As an explanation for the very general title of this post, I want to analyze a several-minute segment of my thought process this afternoon as I was trying to make myself get up to work out. As is habit for me, I fully planned to set myself up for failure mentally by assuming that the [...]
My recent dive back into the Insanity program left me a little panicky about my fluctuating motivation – what if I give up and have to admit that I am stopping my detailed, step-by-step review of Insanity? So I decided to post a few of the ways I have used to keep myself [...]
I am fairly good at making myself exercise. It is drudgery sometimes, but it usually gets done, sooner or later. When it comes to getting my boyfriend to exercise, however, it takes some creativity. We both have a tendency to sit at home, wanting to go do something fun but not really being able to [...]
I think it is really important to look back and remember where you came from, so you can know exactly how far you have come. For me, this relates to weight loss and depression, but it could mean anything to anyone else. I will focus on weight loss instead of depression for this post, purely [...]
I just had a conversation with my boyfriend that really struck up a strong memory of my depression, and I wanted to share it.
The feelings that go along with depression are awful, sometimes almost impossible to deal with. It is an awful feeling to be somewhere, out with friends, doing something that should [...]
