Oh, Fitblr. I really just can’t quit you.
I don’t know why I quit you in the first place, to be honest. I was doing so well, writing down my food and my workout and weighing in every week. You were keeping me on track, so much so that I got to point of being 199 lbs, the lowest I’ve ever been throughout this whole process. I should’ve been ecstatic and over the moon...

back on the horse. again.
Hello fitblr, we meet again. The last time I wrote in this thing was on December 7, 2010 and as I write this now, it’s February 1, 2011. A lot has happened since we last met;
Finished my finals
Got over being sick
Started my final semester of college
Started a paid internship
Gained 5 lbs since Dec. 7.
These bullets are probably related to each other in one way or another. And as...

HELLO TUMBLR, I’M BACK. I didn’t mean for “No Weigh In November” to turn into “No Tumblr November”, but…that’s kind of what ended up happening. If you remember from my last posts, I was deathly sick and at the time, I just kind of logged off tumblr for awhile because I didn’t want to bore you guys with my whining and my “OMG I’M...

a rambly, sudafed induced post
So, I’ll admit it. Since starting “No Weigh In November”, I have weighed myself three times. Considering I used to weigh myself every day, I feel this is good progress, but still.
I felt guilty after the first two weigh ins because 1) I wasn’t supposed to be weighing in and 2) I hadn’t lost any weight (like the scale was mocking me or something....

must be that time of year
Current status: siiiiiick. Sore throat, stuffy nose, nose pressure, inability to sleep (less than 5 hours last night? ugh)
I got too cocky. Last winter was my healthiest winter ever, so clearly Mother Nature was like “oh, we have to fix this”.
but
if this cold helps me out of the weigh in slump
and i can actually use it to my advantage
this will be the greatest cold of all...

No one I know in real life follows this tumblr (…i hope), so I can share this news within the black hole awesomeness of the internet:
One of my best friends just asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding!
only20seconds asked: Just found your blog and had to follow. I have been bouncing around between 205 and 198 for like a month now. So frustrating! We can do this dammit!

A Challenge
I don’t know why I think this is a good idea, but I feel like it’s too crazy not to try.
I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday (just a check up) and I don’t know about you guys, but I always think of the scale at the doctor’s as like, the holy grail of scales. My scale at home could weigh too light or too heavy and I wouldn’t know it, but when I get weighed...

November Goals!
Haven’t done a goals list in awhile, so I thought I might pick it up again;
64 oz of water every day. EVERY DAY.
Gym: 3-4 times a week. Especially important because gym membership is up on the 19th and I want to take advantage of the gym before that happens. Also, want to get as much out of the gym before Christmas/January hits because then the gym will be crowded with New Year’s...

Yes, awesome. I have literally yo-yoed between 210 and 208 ALL MONTH, but it’s nice to end on a down swing. And what’s even nicer - I ended September at 214.5, so that’s basically 6 pounds down in 5 weeks. Sweet!

Two pound weight gain. I’m frustrated, but it’s totally my fault. Last week when I weighed 208.5, it was a 2 lb loss and I think the reason it was a loss was because I tracked my water/fruit/veggie/exercise intake and it paid off. This week, I didn’t track it.
...
i looked at my life and i looked at my choices.
Woke up at 1:40 (bad choice, I had alarm set for 10:30. whoops!)
BUT. Instead of having leftover pizza (bbq chicken, bacon, onion, cheese with bbq sauce instead of regular pizza sauce = heavennnnnnn), I grabbed some string cheese and made myself a Green Monster instead (spinach, milk, ice, chocolate protein powder, banana).
I want to stay in and work on my homework (i have a midterm coming up...

Two pound loss! On the one hand, super exciting because any loss is great. Also two pounds in a week = totally healthy. But on the other hand, a little disappointed because I was shooting for 207 and obviously, that didn’t happen. It felt a little...
Reality check for the night
thepeoplewatcherchronicles:
The average person gains 5-15lbs between October 31st and December 31st (Women’s Health).
Keep this in mind when those sinful confections start to pile up at work, at parties, over the holidays, etc. A minor indulgence is no big sin, but do that shit daily and it’ll add up.
let's be real
food today (in order);
banana
string cheese
bologna & cheese sandwich on wheat bread with some mayo
small bowl of bbq potato chips
4 mini chocolate donuts
piece of apple cake
2 diet fresco tacos from taco bell

out of control
Since August, my life has just been way out of sorts. AUGUST. That feels like a lifetime ago! (it’s not)
The bullet points on this tumblr = the organization I wish I had in my real life.
So, it’s the end of July. I had just gotten back from vacation, where I had gained three lbs (which actually isn’t so bad, in retrospect). But that three lbs quickly morphed into seven lbs...

It gives me a lot of comfort knowing that all those people are dead now. But then I get sad because I still have to read their novels and then I think “Oh my god James Joyce and Nathaniel Hawthorne, ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME.”

it was nice knowing you
Just cancelled coffee plans with my besties because it’s the first week of school and I’m trying (and sort of failing) not to get behind on my school work.
I might as well call them up now and say “see you in december! gotta go plunge myself into 17th century british literature!”
