I was going to just go to bed, but decided to do some exercise afterall. It’s not much, but I started lifting a quart of paint. (haha) It weighed 3 lbs and I lifted it 100 times on each arm…I was really feeling it at the end, especially in my left arm. So, at least [...]
I am just pure exhausted today. Lack of caffeine is really, really affecting my energy level, but I haven’t had a Pepsi since Sunday so it’s worth it. We’re having lasagna (Stouffers) for dinner tonight and I plan to hit the sack early. I’d like to get up early tomorrow to go sign up at [...]
Today went well, I suppose, other than the fact I was incredibly tired all day. (Lack of caffeine I’m sure!) I had a lot of running around to do on my lunch hour today (bank, gas, post office, take something to Madelyn’s school) so I just stopped and picked up a sub from Subway for [...]
Day 1. My official starting weight is 256.0 pounds. Wow. As humiliating as this is – here are the pictures taken of me tonight. I took other shots that I just can’t bring myself to post yet (showing bare belly). Maybe once I lose a little I will feel more comfortable posting them, but for [...]
Darren cooked this great Stir-Fry tonight! I went all googly-eyed trying to figure out how many calories, fat, etc was in it. I’m gonna hafta do some research into that because I’m clueless. As fat as I am, and as many diets as I’ve “tried” over the years, I’ve never counted calories. Hard to believe, [...]
So I joined SparkPeople yesterday. It seems real confusing at first glance. Just so much information being blasted at me at once, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. I’m going down the “Getting Started” checklist in my profile and figured I’d share some of it here. These are the goals that the [...]
Went on a mission today to find some work out clothes, including a good sports bra. More like Mission Impossible! My first stop was Fashion Bug, one of the few stores I can actually find clothes that fit that don’t look like old lady clothes. They had NO workout clothes at all. I guess being [...]
Found this neat online weight tracker at Skinnyr.com: Looks pretty bare right now, but hopefully once I start making progress you’ll see a line going down, and down, and down…. You can sign up at Skinnyr for free and get the basic chart or register for premium membership @ $12/yr (like I did) to get all [...]
I got a scale tonight with my birthday money from Bobbie! It’s a Health-O-Meter Model BFM884-60 that tracks Weight, Body Fat, Hydration Level, BMI, and Bone Mass for up to four users. It was $34.99 from Wal-Mart. Curiosity got the best of me and I just had to try it out. I was actually very [...]
Here I sit just 4 days before this begins and I’m already nervous and scared. Nervous I’ll fail (yet again) and scared to do so publicly. So, Monday it will begin. I chose Monday because that will be my 35th birthday and what better gift could I give myself than the gift of a longer, [...]
