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 [...] It’s funny to look back at some of my older blog posts. A lot of entries at the beginning were focused on losing weight. About being on weight watchers. About posting my daily eats to stay accountable. About counting calories. About breaking up with my scale. In the last two months, a few things have [...] 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 [...] One of the biggest challenges when you are training for an endurance event is finding a balance of eating enough to fuel your exercise, but not eating everything in sight. If you don’t eat enough you won’t have the energy for a good workout. If you eat too much, you may gain weight. You can [...] There have been a lot of posts out there about how your weight contributes to your happiness. I think Katie’s post is a great summary and I have similar opinions as her about the whole issue. But this post is about a different weight-related topic: your happy weight. Since I publicly declared my desire to [...] One of the hardest parts of trying to lose these 5-10 pounds has been motivation. I am not overweight for my height, and I feel pretty good about myself most of the time. So how do I stay motivated to track points, watch what I eat and workout regularly? Last week I was really struggling [...] 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 [...] Today it was truly frigid outside with temps in the twenties but with serious wind that made it “feels like” less than 10*. Because of that, I was extremely grateful that we were able to have boot camp indoors again. I was not grateful that Reggie decided to run us through an extremely tough lower [...] Lately I’ve been thinking about how I have omitted a few things on the blog. In large part this is because I know family members and friends are reading this and I’m embarassed for them to see it. This blog is not anonymous and I worry what people are going to think of me. I [...] Now that I am back at work I can really say the honeymoon is over. While I’m not excited to be working, I am happy to get back into my routine. My wedding party is about a month away and the sprint triathlon is in 48 days. With that in mind, I’m ready to get [...] |
