The last seven days have really tested me. When I think about what all is not going well, the one thing that is… is my eating! That’s unusual. My sister lives on the East coast of Japan. Need I say more? I’ve not had a panic attack since I though my house was going blow [...]
As I was flying back from Orange County the other day, depressed that I’d screwed up and went completely off plan — yet again — I got to thinking that I’ve been fighting this viscious cycle of binging for so long…. as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of binging goes back to [...]
Weight today: 259.4 (-5.2) Total lost – 19.8 I have not seen the 250′s on the scale since 2006!! That is so rewarding for me. I could not be any more happy with myself. I will be the first to admit that a lot of what I lost was water from the previous week. I know I [...]
I was just thinking back to where I was exactly a week ago. Waking up in the hotel room with a “binge hangover” The night before, I had ingested a huge bowl of pasta and countless cookies. I wasn’t feeling too great about myself… or positive on how the week was going to play out. [...]
Weight today: 264.6 (+2.4) Total lost – 14.6 This was not a good week. I’m not entirely surprised. One of my biggest challenges is staying on track outside my established routine. No 6AM workouts, no bringing lunches to work, not really even paying for any of my meals. At this point, it’s something I have [...]
I’m nervous – very, very nervous. Tomorrow AM, I leave for Orange County, where I’ll be for the better part of the week. I telecommute and part of the deal is that I make a trip down there monthly to be available for face to face meetings, etc. History has it that every flipping time I go [...]
I had a small relapse. It’s Friday — I overslept and missed my workout, had a 9:30 conference call so I didn’t get my breakfast in, forget even thinking about water, it’s beautiful out, I was stressed from a receiving a bad email that threw me over edge at the same time a friend walked [...]
It was dreadful getting up this morning… even my 2 snooze cycles didn’t make it any easier. Reluctantly, I got up… slowly warming up my left foot, which has been giving me such issues (plantar fascitis) and started getting dressed. In my half-dead state, I hear “it” — the little beepbeep that I had a [...]
I am off work today because of Good Friday. Last night, after I dropped Liz off at the airport, I went to the grocery store and horded up on junk food and had a “eat feast” watching ‘The Office’ reruns. It’s like I don’t even run my own body’s actions. I consumed: 3/4 the medium [...]
Last weekend, I knew this week would be difficult regarding my eating. In fact, I predicted it during weigh-in at Leah’s. My co-woker, Liz, was flying up from So CA so I could train her on doing some things to help me. She flew in Tues night and the first thing we did… go to [...]
