Just a quick check-in for me today. I don’t really have much to update you on, since I haven’t gone to WW for the past two weeks because of other events going on. I know in theory I could go on a different day, but my schedule is so hectic that Sundays are almost the [...]

Changed my mind
Posted in weight loss, tagged blogging, caution, privacy, safe on February 23, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I really appreciate all of the positive feedback that so many of you gave me regarding the video I had posted on YouTube, but after some careful consideration (and some great advice from CTLB), I have decided to delete them.
Without getting into too many details, I had an incident a few years ago [...]
Insights into Weight Loss Success

Over the last week I’ve taken a bit of a break from my normal t.v. viewing (other than the shows I consider essential, like Biggest Loser, Lost, and Grey’s) and have been spending quite a bit of my night watching weight loss videos on YouTube. I wrote a few weeks ago about my discovery of [...]
No music during “races”?

The other night when I was at the TNT track training, I asked my mentor if I could use my iPod during the long trainings on Saturday. I’m not sure why I even asked except for the fact that no one ever uses one. She suprised me when she said “no.” She said that the [...]
Here Comes the Sun!

Both literally and figuratively.
After nearly 5 days of relentless, pouring rain, finally today the sun is out. And with it, my outlook is light and positive. Today is going to be a great day – nothing specific planned, which means I can do anything that suits me.
One of the things I know I’m going [...]
HYC Update – Hangin’ in there

This week I’m holding steady, status quo, mensa mensa. I didn’t go to WW and haven’t been doing my solo walking training for TNT. I’ve had some money pressures, which caused some mild depression, but overall, I’m doing really well.
There is a lot in my life that’s going great:
I’ve raised half of my minimum funds [...]
Stormy weather :(
Posted in goals, health, healthy outlook, preparation, tagged depressed, gray skies, rain, stormy weather on February 16, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I usually love the rain – the thrill of hearing the wind rustle through the leaves in the two enormous trees in front of my house, the patter of rain against the windows, the gray skies – it puts me in a mood to be creative for some reason. We’ve had a big [...]
Irresistible Cupcakes
Posted in Weight Watchers, weight loss, tagged cupcakes, Sprinkles, sweet treats, temptation, Valentine's Day on February 13, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’m usually really good about resisting temptations, especially when those tempations come in the form of sweets. I’m not a huge sweets eater, preferring salty/crunchy to sweet any day.
Today however, one of my students baked Valentine’s Day cupcakes for the class. As soon as I saw the cute cupcakes decorated with pink frosting and red [...]
The first step

The distance is nothing. It’s only the first step that’s important.” – Marquise Du Deffand
Tonight I had another TNT track training. Forget the fact that it was drizzly outside, I wasn’t looking forward to tonight’s practice because they were going to time it. They said they wanted to get our baseline beginning speeds.
Ugh. It [...]
HYC Update – Getting Used to a More Active Life
Posted in Healthy You Challenge Update, Team in Training, excitement, feeling good, fitness, friends, health, healthy outlook, mental changes, moderation, organization, preparation, weight loss, tagged active lifestyle, whirlwind on February 10, 2009 | 7 Comments »
With all that I have going on right now (WW, blogging, TNT, working full time, connecting with family and friends, working out, etc.), it seems like life has been moving way too fast. I like all of the activity and the daily excitement, but I also sort of feel like I need to stop and [...]
