Every couple of years, I find myself weighing more than I want to weigh, and I muster up the willpower to do something about it. It's a constant journey through which I discover new ways to make my efforts more successful and more permanent.

next personal project is getting healthy

It's time to focus on getting healthy again. I've let myself go for too long, and there is no excuse except that restricting myself all the time seems to slowly drive me to a huge rebellion like the one I've been on for the past eight months or so...

back and hopefully here to stay

Wow. I got smacked hard with the depression stick, and such an odd time of year for it...

yes, you can keep it off

As you know, I've been trying to lose some weight for the past several months, in order to look good when I go home to Oregon in a few weeks, as well as at the three weddings we're attending this year. I guess I shouldn't say "trying", because as of my last weigh-in on Tuesday night, I have lost about fourteen pounds, with about ten more to go until I reach my "healthy" weight range...

gaining momentum in the fitness game

I don't know what, but something sparked my metabolism this past week. I lost three pounds! I can't help wondering how much more I would have lost if I had been a little bit better with my workouts, as I didn't exercise as often as I had wanted to...

weight loss tips and myths

I'm slowly but steadily losing the weight I want to lose. And slow is fine as long as it keeps coming off. I've been working out on Wii Fit for twenty to twenty-five minutes about every other day...

review of lose it iphone app

Commenter Ricky asked for my feelings on the Lose It! iPhone application now that I have been using it for a while, so I thought I should post an updated review. If you don't remember, this is the app I am using to track my calorie intake as I work to lose the weight I put back on in 2008...

getting back to a healthy diet

It's not a New Year's resolution (I don't make them, remember?), but now that the holidays and all the junk food that comes with them are behind us, I am getting back on the diet wagon. No fad diets, just plain old calorie counting and healthier food choices wherever possible...

cheaply suited

This past week I reached a total weight loss of thirty-two pounds - eight pounds left to lose out of my original goal of forty. I had divided those forty pounds into five mini-goals of eight, rewarding myself after each eight pounds lost...

step by step

So now I have an alternate form of exercise for those days when the weather isn't walk-friendly. I tried it out for the first time last night and couldn't believe how sweaty I got in just twenty minutes on the thing...

shame and fame

I love all of these restaurants, but unfortunately, unless they change their tune, I'm just going to have to avoid them at least until I've reached my goal weight...

spark a change

I can't even explain why or how, but I was immediately more motivated than I ever have been. Maybe it was the fact that this site offers more features than eDiets, while being completely free, or maybe it was because I saw no less than three different disability support groups, and knew that if these other people with disabilities could do it, then I could too...

phony diet rules

I have always had a huge problem with the starving-kids-in-Africa line, and I'm so glad to see an expert who agrees...

the first ten pounds

I had no idea how easy it was going to be, and can't believe I put it off for so long!
