Looking Back: 2011
I didn’t make any official resolutions for 2011. But, I did say the following:
2011: The year I find a job that I’m happy with, lose weight, get my lipid panels to an optimal level, and find a baby shiba inu on my porch one morning.
I worked for 4 different companies in 2011. @_@ And I did work for multiple companies as a contractor. I hate the company I work for right now (SO MUCH RAGE)...

stop using "fat" as an insult
as well as “fatty” and “fattie” and any other variation you make of “fat” to try to soften it.

For the record...
My credit card was refunded the fees for the Nike Marathon — so, I won’t be participating.
I’ve gained back half the weight I lost (see chart below). I’m at a 8.8 loss since the beginning of this year.
My cholesterol has gone up. In October 2010, my stats were: Total Cholesterol: 203 HDL: 64 LDL: 96 Triglycerides: 217 As of May, these are my stats: Total Cholesterol:...

St. Patrick’s Day 2011, I will post a picture next to the picture I posted yesterday, and I will proudly say, “Look how far I’ve come”.
I am done wasting my life.
So, the above post from me has been haunting me for the past year. Obviously, last year I didn’t accomplish much. Yes, at the beginning of the year I was kicking ass in the gym. And yes, surgery pushed me...

From FutureMe.org
I received this email from myself about two weeks ago. I wrote it in August ‘10, and I completely forgot about it.
Dear FutureMe, You currently weigh 245 lbs. You have high cholesterol. You have high triglycerides. If you haven’t done something about these things, this is another wake up call. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. You can’t keep doing this!
It was a nice reminder that I...

I’ll take it! Especially considering everything that went on this month. I constantly found it hard to be consistent with my eating… whether due to Valentine’s Day, my husband’s new obsessions with Godiva truffles, the onslaught of goodies at my new job, or my...

I've officially lost 20 pounds!
Woot Woot!
This is the reward I bought myself.
It came in the mail the other day, and my husband hid it from me until I hit the 20lb mark. Now I just need to find it. :p
YAY 20 POUNDS GONE IN 6 WEEKS!

Surprised...
I’m actually surprised that I had any weight loss to show yesterday due to the Celebratory Dinner I had on Monday.
Arancini: fried risotto balls stuffed with Fontina cheese & Italian sausage, served with marinara
Wood Grilled Rib Eye marinated in Worcestershire sauce, smashed brussels sprouts, and grilled broccolini

GPOYW: "Hello, Old Dress Pants" Edition!
I got all 4 of these pants in December 2008 from Macy’s. They’re all very nice quality. I wore them for a while, but then I couldn’t fit into them anymore. But now, I can wear them all again! =^_^=

Ideally, I would like to lose 15 pounds in February. Realistically, I want to lose 10 pounds — this is my goal. I have a feeling though, it will be more like 8 pounds after such a big loss in January.
I know I need to step things up big time in the gym to meet my goal.

iwillbehealthy asked: This is in reply to the Warrior Dash post- YOU CAN DO IT! I am signed up for the Northeast and it's in AUGUST. I just started running again a few weeks ago. You have plenty of time to train, and I hear the dash is super fun. PLUS you get a fuzzy viking helmet! Find a friend to sign up with you if you need the extra push. If it helps at all, I think you are a warrior already :)

I really want to do this! It looks much more fun than Muddy Buddy and more like something I could decently complete (5K vs 10K). And I’d have until October to prepare! If I sign up in the next week, I can save $20. \o/

I survived Five Guys.
Hubs got a little bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a hot dog. I had a diet coke and protein bar. :| SO HARD, but I did it.

I Can't Believe It's Not Potatoes!
Turnip Fries! Even if you do not like turnips, you should try this recipe if you’re looking for a good potato substitute. The turnips do not taste turnip-y at all. They’re not very crispy like regular fries, but they do the job! Add some garlic… so good.

Emotional Eating
I have been doing really well the past week. I have been spreading my protein out to three times a day. This seems to really help me. Today though, I was on my way to work (I had been called in) when they called to tell me to come later. I had to turn around and go back home. I am upset because I rushed to get ready (makeup, uniform), to make the oatmeal cookies I was in the middle of, and...
