What do I need to change externally to change internally? I also feel more relaxed in the afternoons after I eat lunch. Plus I rise up earlier when my alarm goes off in order to ride Sally before breakfast. Eating healthier foods impacts how I feel within too, boosting my moods. So as I work… Continue reading External to Internal
Fetching Bones
Sleep Potions
EXERCISE: I rode Sally, my bike, for 10 minutes this morning! I burned 132.2 kcal and rode 2.3 miles. Then I cleaned, which is a workout in and of itself. I was listening to music with my earbuds in. I ended up dancing to a song by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Run. I worked up a… Continue reading Sleep Potions
Disappointed
WEIGH-IN: I did my second weigh-in today. I fully expected to loose another 3 pounds. To my dismay I have only lost 1.1 pounds this week. At least things are still moving in the right direction. Overall I have lost 4.2 pounds. Not enough to earn a reward from my friend–for that I have to… Continue reading Disappointed
Staying on the bike
EXERCISE: I got on the bike again before breakfast today. I burned 124.9 kcal, biked 2.1 miles, all in 10 minutes! The best part though was that I dreamt I was hanging out with Five Eight, then my phone played a favorite tune of theirs while I was biking! DIET: I’m going to keep the… Continue reading Staying on the bike
Back on the bike
EXERCISE: I did it! I biked for 10 minutes before breakfast! I burned 127.3 kcal, and biked 2.2 miles. DIET: I stuck to the diet for breakfast and dinner 100%! But at lunch I had fruit and some almond butter with palm oil in it. I think I am prolonging my agony, my toxic hunger… Continue reading Back on the bike
Food is a habit, exercise not so much
I am realizing that food is a habit for me, a routine that I rarely skip. My body will let me know if I need to eat and I listen, more often than not. These days I’m eating 3 meals a day plus a snack. I know the snack is off diet but it helps… Continue reading Food is a habit, exercise not so much
Swimming Lake Tallulah
EXERCISE: I swam Lake Tallulah this morning with a friend who is an expert swimmer. As always I brought my handy-dandy waterproof camera and got some shots of me in my bathing suit by the waterfall. This isn’t quite peak weight, but it still will serve as a nice “Before” picture. I estimate that I… Continue reading Swimming Lake Tallulah
I’ve been incentivized!
After sharing the link to this blog last night with a few of my closest friends and family, a friend offered to incentivize me by giving me a $25 gift certificate for every 5 lbs that I loose! Like Wow! We settled on saving towards my next tattoo. DAILY CHECK IN: DIET: Today I stuck… Continue reading I’ve been incentivized!
Weekly Weigh In
WEEKLY WEIGH IN: 279.8 lbs. I lost 3.1 lbs in my first week! Woot! DAILY CHECK IN: DIET: I adhered to the Eat to Live diet for breakfast and lunch. The tortilla wrap was the off-diet food in my quesadilla for dinner. I made more Detox Green Tea, this time with decaf green tea. So… Continue reading Weekly Weigh In
Mama Nings
DIET: I stayed on diet for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I went to Mama Ning’s with Mom, Heather, and Cierra. I had the Panang curry with tofu. I forgot to ask for the brown rice so the white rice was off diet. I also had veggie spring rolls as an appetizer–I was hungry! There… Continue reading Mama Nings
