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 [...]

I knew this would happen inevitably—I’d get caught up in trying to make progress and sacrifice something in the mix—and I was right: my shin splints flared up this week.  I’m an underpronator, a supinator (I love that word).  I run on the outside of my foot and don’t sufficiently roll my foot in forward [...]

WEIGHT! 199.4!!!! (Finally broke 200lbs.. -2lbs yaay!) Bust: 41  Waist:36  Hips: 46 The numbers speak for themselves! woohoo! haha Celebration time! This week has been a great week for me.  I finally.. and I mean FINALLY broke 200lbs.  I have been working towards this for a few years now!  When I got on the scale [...]

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: 210.8 (this morning) You Better Werk! This week I started something new, something I haven’t done in Getting Healthy in the past.  I’m “working out.”  By working out, I mean approximately 10-15 minutes of stretching each morning.  My lower back has been killing me, and so I’ve been starting my morning with a smattering [...]

The holidays sure threw a wrench in my tires with seeing as many people as I could while in Michigan and then flying all over the country, and now here I am with my last post for Chapter 2…thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement! Looking back over this chapter I started around [...]

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. [...]
