http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue My journey with the Metabolic Research Center Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:27:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en What can I say? I've been a bit neglectful of my wonderful little blog. Partly because I've been struggling with keeping things on track and partly because I just haven't made the time for it. I've been dealing with a lot of personal stress and obstacles these last few weeks. First ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/07/22/its-been-a-while/ I weighed in at home this morning and I was still down (actually down more than I was Saturday morning) so I made sure to have a cute outfit on that actually fits well and to pack my "before" outfit in the car. I got to the center, weighed in ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/06/23/progress-and-photos/ Well, it's been a rough week. I broke down on Tuesday and had beer. Which lead to a late night Taco Bell run. Wednesday was so-so with a little slip at lunch where I indulged in a couple of bites of fried pickles and zucchini and ate a roll. Thursday ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/06/21/getting-back-on-track/ Once again I find myself walking down that path of self sabotage. I know I'm doing it but I can't seem to stop myself. I love the "new" me. The compliments, the way I feel. But for some reason, these last couple of weeks, I've just wanted to be "normal" ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/06/16/path-of-self-sabotage/ I found this really cool website (thanks for the person that posted about it in my comments) where I can track my bike ride and see just how far I have been going. I found out my first couple of rides were just right at 3/4 of a mile so ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/31/bike-progress/ I'm doing an online weight loss challenge with some friends of mine from all over the country. There are 28 of us and it was $20 each to enter. The top three places money (50/30/20). Our weekly weigh in day is Thursday so I always count my Thursday first morning ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/29/another-milestone/ Well I did it. I got up this morning and went for a short (and I do mean short) bike ride. The first part of it, the seat was slipping again but I made a couple of adjustments before heading back and it was still where I set it when ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/25/bike-ride/ I've been wearing size 28 pants since I started this lifestyle change and it's gotten to the point where I just look really bad in them because they are so baggy and sag all over. Most of them, I'm putting on/taking off without even unbuttoning or zipping them. I've been ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/24/smaller-pants/ I don't even know anymore. Love? Hope? Or am I just being scared and stupid and afraid of what might happen if I just let him go? I've spent the last 2 hours basically crying my eyes out while fighting with my estranged husband. He moved out almost exactly a year ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/20/what-am-i-fighting-for/ Two different updates today - Personal Scale Update (from when I started on 1/02/08 to today) Starting weight: 346 Today's weight:  299.8 Total lost: 46.2 This was a huge milestone for me this morning. I set my first "major-mini" goal at 47 lbs because I wanted the scale to show a number below 300 and this ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/angierue/2008/05/16/progress-update-51608/
