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 [...]
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!
New Home
So, things are moved over to wordpress now. I still have some tinkering to do. BTW, Cablevision SUCKS when it comes to DNS updates. And, since I cannot install wordpress without having HTML access, that is why the blog was down for so long. Hopefully that will not need to happen again any time soon.
Sleep and LHAS Activity-In
I slept 11 hours last night. It felt so good! Not sure how to title these. It is the “weekly weigh in,” except I am not weighing (publicly, at least). So, I am just matching my activity. Lets see; Four days with 30 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus.Two days with 30 minutes each on [...]
"One to Two pounds per week": Diet Phrases
This is the first in a series of rants “correcting” often repeated dieting phrases. I really hate the phrase “healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.” First, I dislike the phrase because it makes it seem that our weight loss is not adequate if we do not hit one pound per week. We can [...]
Long Hot Active Summer
Im late! As usual! I signed up for the Long Hot Active Summer Challenge. As I am not focusing on weight loss here, I am not participating in the weight loss challenge, however, I am focusing on activity! That is my picture over there. I really don’t want to admit how much I have gained [...]
Activity vs Food
I really hate all the “anti-obesity” initiatives. I hate the focus on weight as an indicator of health. I hate that we stigmatize fat people, and try to shame them into losing weight My newest outrage is the emphasis on food. Food and eating is a major part of people’s lives. As someone who lives [...]
The Wii Fit Tricked Me!
I like my Wii Fit Plus. But it can be evil sometimes. I got into the cycling part of it. You “cycle” around the island by walking on the Wii Fit Board. You have to find flags and bike over them, and you have to find all of them and return to the starting line. [...]
Weight Watchers
I joined Weight Watchers. I like having a structure. I like having things spelled out for me. I know that “eating moderately” is the best way, but what is moderate for me for cupcakes is probably not what, say, a nutritionist would say. I also got involved with a twitter group, which is fabulous! I [...]
