When I was traveling for focus groups last week, there was a woman in her twenties from another company traveling with us. I couldn’t help but notice that her eating habits (and comments about the food) reminded me of the old me. Like I said last week, focus group facilities are filled with sweets and [...] As I alluded to in other posts, I stopped doing Weight Watchers maybe a month and a half ago and switched to tracking my calories at Livestrong.com. There are a lot of calorie counting sites out there, and the only reason I chose this one is that I used it a few years ago. It’s [...] I was reading Kathy’s race recap on the Cherry Blossom 10 miler, and she wrote some words that really resonated with me: “Right after I crossed the finish line, I thought about how numbers are so arbitrary. I like to track my time and mileage to measure my progress, but it’s important to remember that [...] I’ve never been so happy for a Friday. First of all, last week was our last long weekend until Memorial Day so I think this week dragged on more than usual. Second of all, I have hardly any plans this weekend. Between work travel, and visiting friends/having visitors, I’m ready for a weekend where I [...] There have been a lot of posts out there about how your weight contributes to your happiness.

Last week I was really struggling [...] First off, today at Weight Watchers I was up .4 pounds, which is basically maintenance. Even if it isn’t much of a gain, I know that I did not do my best this week. Some of you were surprised I could lose weight on vacation last week, but I actually do much better when I’m [...] As you may know, I have the rest of the week off work. I have grand plans to get a ton done during my “staycation” including: Cleaning and organizing the house Baking and cooking Seeing friends and family Blog updates My first day at home was incredibly busy so I can’t wait to spend some [...] I’ve been on Weight Watchers for a week, and the good news is that it didn’t feel very restrictive. I loved having 0 point fruits because if I was feeling hungry or snacky I was encouraged to eat fruit. This is great compared to before where some people might choose a 100 calorie pack instead of [...] Since I spent so much of the last year training for races, my friends have been asking me how I stay motivated to run and workout now that I’m not training for anything. Picture from the Jingle Bell 10K There are a few ways I keep going. First, remembering how hard it [...] |
