May 2, 2010 – Weight Update

by jen May 2, 2010

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 [...]

‘On the Road’ is Not Going Well

by jen April 28, 2010

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m on a monthly business trip — which means living out of a hotel room.  I swear the Gods are against me this week.  First of all, my DoubleTree hotel room has no microwave… and no fridge.  I discovered that after I finally checked in at at about [...]

Weight today:  262.2  (-3.2)     Total lost – 17.0 I just realized that last week I said I was 275.4  Making myself 10lbs heavier – geez.  Changing that now!  Overall it was a successful week.  While I started the week in the dumper with massive allergies, they eventually subsided a bit (and left me with a nice [...]

My Dreadful Monthly Challenge: The Business Trip

by jen April 25, 2010

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 [...]

by jen April 20, 2010

Allergies — the natural appetite suppressant

by jen April 19, 2010

Well, I knew eventually my allergies would get the best of me.  Everyone around me has been sick, and I’ve been religiously taking my Emergen-C…  Yesterday morning, I knew it caught up with me.   My head feels 10x larger than it is.  My ears are plugged, my nose just drips.  It’s gross.   I immediately went [...]

April 18, 2010 – Weight Update

by jen April 18, 2010

Weight today: 265.4  (-1.4) Total lost:  – 13.8 I chuckle now, but I was so upset as I got on the scale and saw no loss.  After five “step-ons” the scale and the same number, I cried a couple tears.  Wondering why am I trying so hard if nothing is going to happen and all [...]

Being driven to binge for lack of nutrients?

by jen April 13, 2010

I want to share this really great article that was posted on PsychCentral.  It’s an interview with Eleanor Kohlsaat, who has a story exactly like mine.. and probably yours – the only difference is that she has found a way to overcome binge eating and keep her eating in line and balanced.  Something she mentioned that I [...]

Better eating = better binge control

by jen April 12, 2010

This blog is not solely about losing weight — and while I don’t want to make weight loss the focus, the truth is I am very overweight.  The primary reason I need to get my binging under control is because of my current weight.  I am already starting to see some decline in my health.  My joints are wearing [...]
