Forthright Friday - Farewell

Because I took a bit of a break from Social Workout when things were busy, I stopped weighing myself regularly on Friday’s.  Since I joined SW, one of my goals was weight tracking and weight loss.  To help accomplish my goals, I came up with Forthright Friday – where I recorded and tracked my weight on a weekly basis and wrote about what went wrong or what went right.  I hardly w

The Treadmill of Happiness (but not the good kind)

HEY Social Workout!  So things have been super busy, and I’ve been taking a break from SW, and working out regularly in general (my grand plans for a 5k on the 17th are not happening, because I really need to spend the time packing instead).  I can tell the difference in me with the lack of endorphins, and I really should try to get some workout outs in whenever possible, so we’ll see

Forthright Friday - 131.5 pounds

Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday.  Life has been busy.  Didn't make it to the gym this week as much as I would have liked to.  Stressed, and so stressed that I lost my appetite a few times this week.  CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MAY!!!!!!

Forthright Friday - 132.0 pounds

The scale FINALLY moved in the right direction!  Seriously, it was not easy this week ya’ll.  I had some pretty intense workouts and was at the gym 3 mornings before 7am this week, lots of running really, and I planned out and prepared all of my meals Sunday – Thursday (breakfast, lunch, snacks, AND dinner) to make sure that I didn’t make any horrible choices by eating out.  I di

Inspired to Cook - Summer Lentil Salad and Eggplant

I've been eating really good food this weekend, and to continue the trend, I was inspired to prepare a healthy meal this afternoon.  I got the idea for this lentil dish from a french restaurant I went to a few months ago.  I think it's perfect for a warm summer night.  I'm going to attempt to share the recipe, but I didn't really use measurements at all, so hopefully it will be e

Forthright Friday - 134.0 pounds

The scale didn’t move at all this week, which normally would make me pretty upset  (ok, actually when I got on the scale this morning there may have been a few expletives, whatever).  Thinking about it now though, I feel really good despite the lack of weight change – especially after my run.  I got back on track this week with the workouts, and eating was pretty healthy with the

The Return of the Naughty Flog

It has to happen because I keep on making bad eating choices.  I think it’s ok to indulge once in awhile, as long as I plan for it – but the way things have been going, that hasn’t been the case.  SO, I’m hoping that if I write it all out and look at it every once in awhile, I will be more inclined to make better choices.  Also, it's embarrasing to write out the bad things I eat

Forthright Friday - 134.0 pounds

I know myself, and that if I really focus, I’m going to be able to get close to – if not meet the 123 mark.  The problem is that I’m feeling lazy.  I had off from class this past week, and only made it to the gym 3 times the entire week – and two of the workouts weren’t even that great.  I also am dealing with a shin splint situation – but that doesn’t mean I can’t spend some qua

Feral Challenge Failure

I’m gracefully bowing out of the Feral Challenge, Social Workout.
