It’s interesting that the more I lose weight the more I want to take care of myself and make myself look the best I can. I just got contacts. I really like them. I went running tonight and when I came in my eyes didn’t fog up like my glasses do. It was cool! I [...]

Stress levels are way up. Depressing thoughts are swirling. Everything is hard. Life sucks worse than a vacuum. Welcome to the holidays. I’m looking forward to the school district’s annual “Healthy Holidays”. It keeps me on track and so I don’t overeat or eat the wrong things. It helps me keep track of exercise and [...]

In my head I know what I need to do. In my heart I am still telling myself it won’t work. I know that I need to substitute eating for emotional reasons for other healthy activities that give me the same emotional benefits, or better ones even. I can’t figure out what would work better [...]

Today is my 47th birthday and I am so proud of me. I set a goal to have lost twenty pounds by my birthday. This meant I had to lose seven pounds in two weeks. After meticulous count of calories and working my tailbone off exercising six days a week, I did it. I look [...]

I made a discovery these past three or four days. I’ve eaten like there was nothing else to do. I ate when I was avoiding doing what I needed to do. I ate when I was stressed. I ate just because there was food out. I ate because if I ate then the food would [...]

I love hiking. I love being out in nature and making my body move and keep moving even though the hill is tough, the terrain rough, and I feel like I’ve had enough. Jet and I hiked the water tower hill five times yesterday. Granted it only takes ten minutes round trip. But by the [...]

Okay I just got back from the best hike of my life. I went with my oldest and her friend. This friend hikes regularly with his family and his family free climbs and I’m just a beginner here. He tried to take us up a pretty steep hill we turned around because I got scared. [...]

I’m actually getting around to revamping my diet and exercise and I think I’m going to like what I’m doing. Monday-Wednesday-Friday I’m swimming and lifting weights with my legs. Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday I’m hiking/walking and lifting weights with my upper body. I bought some five pound weights (surprisingly heavy for my weak arms) and I’m ready to [...]

I have visited my blog several times in the past few weeks but I’ve been so tired and discouraged I didn’t want to write. I am at the lowest weight I’ve been in a lot of years. The last time I lost weight this is where I got stuck and then I started to gain [...]

Frequency of my bogs is going to slow down now as I am back at work after summer vacation. I still wish I could get paid to do what I want, when I want, but I guess that’s what retirement is for. I don’t know if I will ever retire but that’s another discussion for [...]
