A Better Me – Wk. 18

The last time I posted something in this series, I said I was going to cut back on posting weekly updates. I said I would start updating on my progress about once a month. Well… as it turns out, that's not going to work for me. [Read more...]

A Better Me – Wk. 13

There's really not much to report this week. In fact, it's all pretty boring really. I try to change it up a little bit here and there, and I try to be consistent. I have my good days. I have my bad days. But really, I just keep moving. So I think it's time I cut back on posting about my progress. Not because I'm getting nowhere and not because I'm throwing in the towel or anything like that. The truth is, I've run out of things to blog about when it comes to my progress and I'm bored to death about blogging on my progress.

A Better Me – Wk. 12 – My Daughter Is A Bad Influence

Talk about a slacker – that would be me. I'm really late in getting this post out, but I have good reason for it. My daughter was in town over the holiday and left only yesterday. So what does that mean as far as my progress? Well! Let me tell you, Lauren was a horrible influence on my the entire time she was here. I pigged out on food I really had no business touching… like fettuccine chicken with alfredo sauce – one of my weaknesses. [ still drooling ] [Read more...]

A Better Me – Wk. 11

I wouldn't say it was a bad week, but not the greatest week I've had either. I went on a little road trip – love road trips. I spent most of the week out of town or on the road. I'm surprised I didn't gain any weight this past week. While I met my calorie-burning goal this week, I still missed two gym days because I was out of town. I could've gone to my old gym, but it just never happened. There was just too much shopping to do and not enough time. But the week wasn't a total flunk. I found some awesome fitting jeans at Old Navy… and they were a size smaller! Whaaaaa?! Yep. In fact, everything I bought was a size smaller than my normal size. This is a very, very good thing. Yayee!! [Read more...]

A Better Me – Week Ten

I've noticed that the weeks I haven't lost any weight, have been the same weeks when mother nature comes to visit. Although it's kind of depressing, it makes sense. I really wanted to start the C25K program again, but I didn't feel like my left leg was ready for it just yet. I feel I'm ready now, but my schedule this week is kind of strange. So I'll start week twelve. It doesn't look like I'll be in the 5k race, as a runner, in October. I won't be ready for it yet, but I will walk it. And, if memory serves, there is a 3k race right here, in town, in November and I should be able to participate in that. [Read more...]
