Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
No, I didn't forget. I have adjusted my weigh in day to Friday. I tend to relax a little on the weekends and it just puts too much stress for an early week weigh in. I think a Friday weigh in will serve me better. Having said that, the holidays did not go well. They... Continue Reading →
My first impulse is to say "So we begin again". But the more I think about it the more I realize it falls into the failed mindset we've all been trained to accept about weight loss. It's a temporary phase with a beginning and an end. Except it isn't. This is why I have (personal)... Continue Reading →
We are taking a brief break here at the end of the year, but I wanted to share a few of the end of year traditions in our family. This is the time of year when there are probably as many family traditions in play as any other. Here are some of ours: The Nut Bowl... Continue Reading →
Time to take an end of year break. This has not gone the way I had hoped. Way too much up and back. Overall I have shown positive movement, just not the kind I need, not the kind I want. At the same time I don't want to spend the next couple weeks obsessing over... Continue Reading →
Some weeks you get a surprise. I ate out way too often and I did very little exercise. And the week went in a positive direction. This time of year I'm just trying to not lose ground (like last week), so I'm happy. And surprised. Last week I had a massive charley horse that knocked... Continue Reading →
Six Months. We have just passed the six month mark. Seems like we've been here longer. We have definitely fallen in love with Richmond and the surrounding area. Great selection of food, entertainment, historical sites, places to get out and enjoy the great out of doors. Fabulous people too. This is a truly wonderful area.... Continue Reading →
Do I really have to do this one? I mean, seriously, it's the week of Thanksgiving. What can I expect? I know that it's possible to enjoy a holiday and still lose weight. People do it. I never have. So it was hardly surprising that I gained weight. I'd say it could have been worse... Continue Reading →
Don't know that I can say it any better than this, so have a wonderful Thanksgiving doing whatever makes you happy.
Somehow I need to get this particular hurdle behind me. This 193/4 hurdle is making me crazy because I can't seem to put it permanently in the rearview mirror. The worst problem is I know EXACTLY what I need to do. My eating remains borderline, but especially when we go out. I simply need to... Continue Reading →
Deep breath. We're into an area we haven't been in months. And that's very, very good news. Exercise was a little better but I hardly became a gym rat. The big difference is that moved some light weight work into the routine. I can honestly say that I feel the difference even with only a... Continue Reading →
