Weekly Updates
Didnt do so well this week. Though, I had about two hours of walking one day (to find cupcakes, and I had to ask them to get the cupcakes out of the freezer!) So, about 240 minutes of walking. (Low intensity). Next week, Monday to Friday, is my “no artificial sweetener” week. If my grandmother [...]
Fat is not a bad word
I wrote this as a comment to a post on FitBottomedGirls.com. (She) said “When I see the word “fat,” I think “hate” or “ugly” or, even, “not good enough.” In my mind, if you call yourself fat, you’re hating on yourself and not honoring the person you are inside and out.” I am fat. Fat [...]
Sleep
I seriously need to get back on a more normal sleep schedule. I have been going to bed around 5-7am. Waking up (if I dont set the alarm) between 2 and 5pm. The days that I do have to set my alarm and get up early, it takes me about an hour to wake up, [...]
LHAS Wednesday Walking Weigh In
I walked. Quite a bit. Sunday I set out walking. I knew that I had to get from my place to another, and that public transportation would be involved. I also figured out that the start point for the bus portion would be 2.5 miles away. I figured that I didnt want to walk that [...]
Morning Coffee and Headaches
Well, not really. In scholarly news, check out this study: “With frequent consumption, substantial tolerance develops to the anxiogenic (ed: anxiety causing) effect of caffeine, even in genetically susceptible individuals, but no net benefit for alertness is gained, as caffeine abstinence reduces alertness and consumption merely returns it to baseline.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/10202553.stm I am still dealing [...]
Steel Cut Oats
One of my current breakfasts is Steel Cut Oats. One cup of Steel Cut Oats Three cups of Silk Light Vanilla Soy Milk (I have heard weird things about regular milk in the crock pot, so I use soy milk. Works so far!) I am sure you can use other kinds of soy milk, but [...]
Cupcake Diet- #LHAS
Two weeks I had cupcakes (with French Buttercream). Two weeks I lost. Coincidence? Probably. I had two cupcakes (and a waffle) Monday. I also walked two miles, bought a dress, ate a 25 point Chicken Parmesan dinner, and did a 25 minute moderate intensity Cardio Fitness workout. And lost 3.4 pounds today. WTF body? (Not [...]
New Kitty!
Her name is Pluto, and she is a Munchkin. This is a natural mutation, and has no health issues associated with the short legs. She is pretty shy, and has spent most of her time hanging out under our bed. She has not met the other resident cat yet (who is almost twice her size!) [...]
LHAS Wednesday check In
Well, I didnt do as bad this week as I thought I would :) We walked several museums (Including the Creation Museum!) I swam three days, doing actual “laps” for a part of the time. (Does hot tub time count for activity?) I got to play with kitty cats, and brought home one of my [...]
Info from a friend
I am part of a twitter/blogger group that is doing Weight Watchers together. Our meeting this week was about Breakfast foods, and my friend Amber wrote up a blog post about it! Check it out at TheAmberShow.net!
