update, thoughts on maintenance

well it's been a while ... i've been tracking on my iphone, and emotionally, maintaining has been easier than i thought for the most part. the diet & exercise piece seems somewhat like a habit to me most days. the one-year anniversary of me reaching goal is coming up, which reminds me how far i've come. the semester is also coming up, and i have some new responsibilities at school, and i worry that when things get crazybusy i'll forget how to count points or something.

have been we… Continue

the numbers game

so, this week, on ww, i went over my weekly AP by 60.

that's kind of a lot! ~3000 calories, which translates to almost a lb. i calculated, naturally.

i sit here analyzing and reanalyzing the numbers. my iphone app really helps with my tracking, but it makes me crazy. just by taking a 17 minute walk i can earn a point to eat something else. this insanity must stop.

so, this week, i pledge to PLAN my daily eats more. it will be quite doable this week as all i will… Continue

nsv, or more like scale-independent v.

so, i ordered these jeans in the mail. they are a size smaller than the jeans i currently wear which are stretched out from wearing multiple pairs of leggings underneath it in the cold.

my new jeans are a size too small. ordinarily, I'd try to break them in, and probably could after a while (until i'd have to wash them again, at which point i'd have to break them in again), but when it comes down to it, the number on my jeans doesn't really matter as long as they fit, right? so i'm go… Continue

wednesday

i'm not really sure if iwatchr (the app) is helping me. it's pretty easy to feel defeated after my points start making it into the 40s. i suppose that's a good thing, the heightened awareness and all. numbers can get to me, though. all in all, i'm still doing well with the plan, some days are just more of a challenge than others. HOWEVER, tonight i became hungry (legitimately, i think) and went over on ... salad. yep, that's right. granted, it had sesame and olive oil and avocados in it, but it… Continue

friday

tracked today on the iwatchr app on my iphone. ~37 points (incl 3 APs for running). while i do like the discreet-ness of the iphone tracking, i feel like it's way too numbers driven, which stresses me out. i don't like that it displays the points from the entire week, so if i had a bad day i see it for 6 other days on the recent history. so i'm trying to figure out a way to use BtL easily on the iphone. WI'd last week, still maintaining. actually changed my goal weight to be 2 lbs less, which… Continue

thursday

tracked today on my new iphone. ~40 points. by most accounts, i overindulged this holiday season. most people gain an average of 7 lbs over the holidays, though, so i guess i'm doing okay. (ya know, that's kind of a lot...) and all i want to do is relax and do nothing, as i feel that i am running on empty after the hecticness of the past week or so. but the semester will be picking up again shortly. planning will be key these next few days. and, of course, follow through. therefore, i'll be p… Continue
