Even a deployment won't stop me!

Well I started a new job last month so my blogging fell waaaay behind. But good news is I didn't fall off the wagon too much. My exercise ceased (but I'm picking that back up too from scratch) but most surprisingly my eating didn't get out of control. It's a new challenge to me to balance a full workday with working out and eating right. In college I only had to work a little bit and then go to class for a few hours and then I still had plenty of energy and time to work out. Now being a "real" a… Continue

My weight loss is coming along the greatest its been in a few years. I'm down to 141.6 and I haven't seen those numbers in quite a long time. I've been running these past 2 months and I can definately see the results. I don't look as bloated in my tummy and I have more energy. The one thing I've definately noticed is how much different foods affect me. I think I must have been ignoring it all these years but eating bad food now gives me horrible stomach aches for the rest of the day. I gave myse… Continue

I thought a cute title to my current weight loss project should be "Farewell to the 40's", it would have been a more expletive "F" word but I don't think such things are allowed on this site. I am sooo tired of weighing in the 140-150 pound range, I've decided to say goodbye, au revoir, to this decade. And that's all I'm committing myself to doing right now. I'm not looking at the long term goals because that always seems so overwhelming, but losing 8 pounds seems quite manageable, and dare I sa… Continue

Well I'm done moving for now, so I figure I have lost that excuse of why I was eating so poorly but I'm not fretting. It seems easier to get back into the groove of eating better, I dunno maybe you have to "fail" so many times until you finally give yourself a break and relax and then the weight will come off with your hard work. Anyways, I was more interested in my goals. I was reading them on here and I think that in the past 2 months since I've written them, they have really changed. I've be… Continue

Of course I know it is but it sure is a lot tougher than it was when I was in New York. I haven't blogged in awhile because I've been at the in-laws and enjoying my time here. But let me tell you there are more fried foods, pies and soda options than I have ever encountered before. I don't want to be a snob and say New York doesn't have any of these things, but here there's more of a country, down to earth, let's bake pies to show we care attitude here that's lacking where I live in New York.
