I’m alive, I promise! Thanks to a CRAZY schedule through the summer, I won’t be blogging more than once a week most of the time. So far, I’ve been hanging in there and managing some healthy-ish choices. I’m not counting Weight Watchers points right now. I’m walking1-3 miles every day. 2-3 times a week I [...]

I’m breaking up with Weight Watchers. I love the program, and it really does work for me, so this is probably a stupid idea… but I just need a break. I’m having an enormous amount of anxiety with the beginning of the summer semester, and I just need a break. The thing is, I’m back [...]

My week hasn’t gone anything like I was expecting it to, so I haven’t gone to spin class at all or even been on campus. We’ve been having a tough time getting out of the house on time, so I’ve been dropping the husband at work and heading to the mall to study since I [...]

When I started running, I was so proud of myself for just getting out there, no matter how slow I was or how silly I looked. When I started seeing friends and contacts with increasing speeds and mileage, I felt… less. When I go to spin class now, I feel on top of the world. [...]

Today I’m concentrating on bouncing back. I started out the weekend in a foul mood, feeling depressed and defeated, but I ended the weekend with a smile. I walked for two hours on Saturday, made good food choices over the weekend, and I’m dressed for spin class today. Too many times I’ve let that sort [...]

I took another spin class yesterday! The class was 45 minutes followed by an optional 15 minutes of ab work, which I also did. The abs section was actually a lot of fun. Three sets of plank and crunches… 30 second plank, 40 crunches; 45 second plank, 40 crunches; 1 minute plank, 40 crunches. I [...]

After last week’s SIX POUND loss, I am feeling really good! I had a great weekend walking with Relay for Life, but I know that this week is going to be a big deal for me. I have a ton of work and school work to do, including another exam and a lab report. I [...]

I LOST SIX POUNDS THIS WEEK! So what do I credit with this significant, party, awesome, amazeballs loss? SPIN! Yes, I only took the one class. No, there is not a significant chance that a single spin class is enough for six pounds of lost weight. Yes, I did do MUCH better with food. Still, [...]

Yesterday, on the bus ride home from school, the woman sitting next to me turned to me with a smile and said “when’s your baby due?” It would have been interesting to see my face right then. When I just looked at her blankly, she said “are you pregnant?” and I stuttered a no. She [...]
