Getting Healthy

Some weeks you rock it; some weeks you ride it out.  This week was the latter.  You know, sometimes it seems like things are really bad, otherwise I’d be doing “better” at this.  In truth, it’s that things are very busy and have been super emotionally intense over the last couple months, from sleep to [...]

Weight: 198.4 (-1lb!)  Bust: 41  Waist:36  Hips: 46 (my inch changes were so close, I just kept them the same this week) It may be a lil dark but I don’t mind.. I’m wearing shorts. You guys don’t need to see details..heh So I was just looking over my weight loss for the entirety of [...]

This week was a vast, swirling, emotional roller-coaster.  It was announced that my company is hiring a new director, who I will be reporting to, so I’m getting a new boss.  That’s going to be an adjustment—I love my current one.  It could certainly be good news, but for the moment it was a shock.

True to my word, I kicked it up a notch this week.  Here was the schedule: Monday: Hike with roommate Tuesday: 40 minute intervals of running and walking, two sets upper body weights, crunches Wednesday: Walk at lunch (I think?) Thursday: 45 minute intervals, 1 set of weights for each muscle group (upper + lower) [...]

Weight: 212 (per Wed. morning)  Waist: 42″ (A little rough for wear after work.) It’s amazing, to say the least, what a clear mind & calmness in life can do for your overall mental & physical state. I’ve been running non-stop for so many weeks months, and for the first time, I feel like I [...]

So this week I got a big wake-up call. Right now I’m prepping to audition for my college’s final Reperatory shows, and the role I read for in one play was that of a morbidly obese woman. While I know I am nowhere near morbidly obese, I am probably the biggest girl in my program. [...]

And so it is… the end of chapter II. What I’ve learned… My self-esteem and body-image varies from day-to-day and I need to focus more on enhancing my mood than enhancing my body (which should come as result of the mood enhancement, yes?). Losing weight won’t fix my problems. Only a couple and even then, [...]

You know those people who are addicted to helping? Who will go out of their way to solve other people’s problems, but won’t touch their own? I think I’m one of them. In my everyday life I try to help people solve their health problems by telling them about the healthy living tools that I’ve [...]

This week has been full of ‘ups’ and not so full of ‘downs’ which is really fabulous! I feel like things are on the up, and hopefully they will continue to do so. Case of the Ex I’m coping better than I thought I would. Here’s the breakdown, almost a month after we split (I [...]
