Posted in exercise, feeling good, fitness, goals, health, healthy outlook, mental changes, new activity, weight loss, working out, tagged , , , , , on January 31, 2009 | 3 Comments »

After a wonderful day spent with my sister, I was in a great mood, and absolutely felt like the cobwebs of blah were cast out of my head.
I felt so good, in fact, that I decided to finally try the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga DVD I had purchased a few weeks ago.  I wasn’t [...]

Blah, Blah, Blah

Posted in Team in Training, friends, goals, weight loss, tagged , , , , , on January 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »

This week has been blah.  I’ve felt so lazy and uninspired, and I really felt like I was in a funk all week.
Not terrible, necessarily, but definitely not great.  Lots of stress at work caused me to come home and do almost nothing each evening.  And by nothing I mean, can barely find the [...]

Afternoon Snack Attack!

Posted in Weight Watchers, healthy choices, new food, weight loss, tagged , , , on January 29, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Every afternoon I get the munchies. I’m usually looking for something salty and crunchy, and when the craving strikes, it’s like I become obsessed with satisfying it.
Some of my past snack ideas are:

hummus and carrots (2 points)
string cheese and pretzels (3-4 points)
salsa and celery (0 points) I know this one sounds weird, but it works!
100-calorie [...]

A yummy breakfast

Breakfast – “the most important meal of the day.”
During the week, I never have time to eat breakfast at home because I’m usually running out the door so that I’m not late for work.  But because breakfast is such an important meal, I always make sure to bring it with me.
I made a breakfast today [...]

HYC Update – Energized

Happy Tuesday, everyone! 
I’m feeling really good today – I have so much energy and enthusiasm.  Which is the exact opposite of yesterday.  I didn’t get enough sleep on Sunday night, and spent most of Monday tired, lethargic, and so low energy.  I hate feeling like that.  I’m so glad I got a good night’s sleep [...]

Weigh-In #4

Posted in Team in Training, Weight Watchers, feeling good, goals, health, healthy outlook, weigh in day, weight loss on January 25, 2009 | 4 Comments »

This week I lost 0.9, for a total of 1.3 pounds lost in 2009.
I should “confess” right off the bat that today’s weigh-in was done at home.  Yes, I missed a WW meeting.  I was getting ready to go to the meeting, but knowing that I had a million things to do before [...]

So, in my last post, I mentioned that I was feeling oddly nervous about the Team in Training informational meeting that I had signed up to go to today.  Even this morning, I was thinking about whether or not I should go to the meeting.  Since Thursday evening, I’d been depressed because of some money [...]

Team in Training Trepidation

Posted in anticipation, exercise, feeling good, fitness, goals, health, new activity, self esteem, walking, weight loss, working out, tagged , , , , , , , on January 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Saturday I’ m scheduled to go to an informational meeting about Team in Training.   For the first time in a LONG time, I’m actually very nervous and intimidated by this. 
I’m the type of person who never gets intimidated by anything or anyone.  I have a lot of confidence, and am a self-assured person.  I can [...]

Looking for some motivation?

Posted in excitement, feeling good, goals, health, healthy choices, healthy outlook, mental changes, self esteem, weight loss, tagged , , , , , , on January 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Since it’s more than halfway through January, I thought it might be a good time to remind myself (and you) about my goals, my priorities, and my determination.
This video is inspiring and motivating.  It’s worth the 8:23 investment in time to watch it.

Who Knew There Were So Many LOSERS Out There?

Posted in friends, goals, health, healthy outlook, weight loss, tagged , , , on January 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Ok, so maybe I’m coming to this party a little late, but did you guys realize that there’s a whole weight loss community of vloggers on YouTube?
Now I pride myself on being very internet savvy.  Of staying on top of the trends, if you will. But somehow I was completely oblivious to this whole wave [...]
