A Reiteration

So to reiterate things that I’ve said a million times: Weight Watchers works. Eating all weekend and crash dieting doesn’t work. Exercising helps, but nutrition is 90% of weight maintenance. Eating like a garbage disposal makes me feel like garbage. Today I plan to search through blog posts from over two years ago to find [...]

I’m back & a 1-Month Challenge

So I was gone almost a week in Salt Lake City, where I had a great time, ate some terrific food from a micro-brewery, drank the remainder of my other meals and danced the night away. Oh and also, learned some stuff (you, know, that whole conference thing.) I only got to work out one [...]

On my way.

I’m on my way in a couple of ways this week:  first, we bought a Wii & a Wii Fit. I’m super-psyched to get moving on it, especially for the running, which I love.  Secondly, I’m on my way to Salt Lake and am leaving in two hours.  I’m psyched about this also, but flying [...]

A Bad Day

Yesterday was rough. I was really anxious all day long and super annoyed with everyone and everything. So what did I do? Exercised. Psych. I ate all of the refined carbs that I had in the house. Tons of pretzels and handfuls of cereal. Two granola bars. Some other junk. I can’t even remember. And [...]

Working it

I finally got around to working out this week and I feel great: muscle fatigue and sore armpits are great things.  On Thursday, a co-worker and I did level of Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred.  My god, I forgot how much I love this DVD.  It is the very best 20 minute workout that you can [...]

Three great recipes & a life update

So I’m having a good week, although I still haven’t exercised much. I did do a quick Yoga wake-up video on Thursday, but that’s it. We planned to go to yoga on Friday but the boss kept us in a meeting too long and we missed the beginning. Angela (a colleague) has worked out a [...]

Doing the needful & some food faves

So I’m working the program this week. I’m even going to (finally) work out after I’m done with this post. I’ve begun taking my vitamin at night and now, either due to sleeping through the nausea or not having any because of having eaten all day, I feel great. We’ve also added a nice salad [...]

Went to a meeting….

and weighed in. Gained 9 pounds since the last time I was there. Ridiculous but now I know. I plan on working hard this year to get my new WW keychain bling. If you weigh in at goal 10 months out of 12, you get a new gold key charm. You all know how I [...]

I Need Help

Please tell all of your Pittsburgh-based friends to come to the Tuesday 12:15 WW meeting downtown on Grant Ave. so that they can slap some sense into me. I am having a hard time, a few bad weeks (not days, almost months). I’ve gained 12 pounds since I’ve been in Pittsburgh, 4 of which I’m [...]
