I’m Back...

I took a small detour the past few weeks from my lifestyle change.  And while I didn’t go completely overboard, I know I wasn’t eating as healthy as I could. My body seemed to be complaining about the foods I was eating.  The lack of exercise didn’t help much either.  But I’m back and better than ever.  I’m going to reach my goals and you’re not going to stop me.  :-) I noticed...

Progress Update...

I’m not sure there’s much to update you all on.  And this is not an excuse, but it’s a harsh reality:  I’ve become so busy with other things, my lifestyle change has become less of a priority.  I don’t know if I’d say I’ve fallen off the wagon, but I haven’t been eating healthy lately, and exercise has been put on the back burner. Good news, my weight has stayed the same...

Deadline Approaching...

I may have to live with the awful reality that I won’t reach my goal in the amount of time I originally set.  I don’t remember if I ever gave myself a timeframe on this blog, but I did want to be at my ideal weight by June 21, the first day of summer. But really, it’s not that awful of a reality to live with.  I’ve lost more than 60 lbs. since I began this journey, and I’ve found a way...

Pacing...

I admit, I’ve not been as dedicated the last few weeks as I was in the beginning.  I’m eating more than I allowed myself when I first started.  But that could be a good thing. My weight loss has slowed down, but I think I’m finding a balance now.  A balance between eating whatever I want and no exercise —- and —– hardly eating anything and exercising like a mad man. I’m not...

Update - Goal: Down 60...

I’m sorry for abandoning you, blog.  This really was all about me.  Now that you’ve helped me lose 60 pounds, I don’t need you anymore.  But the accountability is appreciated. As of my last weigh in, I have lost a total of 62.2 pounds.  From my starting weight of 254.8 pounds, I have only 12.6 pounds left to reach my goal of 180 pounds.  If that sounds confusing, it really isn’t. Healthy choices,...

(Chinese) Food Has Lost Its Victory...

Did I tell you I was addicted to Chinese food?  It was a cuisine nearly synonymous with my very name.  But for some reason, it’s just food to me now.  I don’t know that I lost my taste for it.  My tastes couldn’t have changed that fast. But maybe I’ve just learned what eating is.  It’s food.  It can certainly be enjoyable, but it shouldn’t be a hobby or a passtime.  For me, Chinese...

I Don’t Care About My Weight Anymore...

I’ve officially decided.  I don’t care if I’m 180 pounds.  Yes, that was my original goal, but it’s OK to change it, right?  I started this game; I think I can change it. You see, I don’t want to be disappointed when I reach 180 pounds and still have a fun layer of flab around my midsection.  (Haha, I don’t think I’ve ever called it my midsection before.)  I want to be at...

Missing Updates...

I haven’t been updating much lately, but that doesn’t mean I’ve fallen off the wagon!  Hopefully this is enough to show you I’m telling the truth: I’ve discovered I lose more weight when I weigh myself daily.  I’m not sure what it is, but I found others who said the same thing in their blogs.  It must be some weird phenomena. While I’m not writing down everything I eat or...
