Hello, beautiful internet!
So it has been forever since I posted last, and there are many reasons for that. The most notable are:
- Wedding planning! *stress*
- Work has been nuts.
- Trying to figure out my future (possible Masters plans?)
- Helping my friend plan her wedding.
- Getting sick almost constantly.
- ...I fell off "the wagon".
That last one is nothing new; sticking to a weight...

While wasting time on Reddit this morning (which is how my days off tend to go), I stumbled across the following Tumblr post regarding weight loss motivation: http://actionfiguremini.tumblr.com/post/53432744622/lost-your-motivation-my-standard-answer
It's a fantastic post, and I've definitely read it before (and reflected on it in this blog post) but I wanted to "reblog" it on here for future...

I originally logged on to post a "regular" entry about my weight goal for the week, but saw this in my feed from Liz at The Shrinking Owl and thought it might be fun to do instead! I used to love answering survey questions when I was younger (you remember the ones - those awful chain e-mails that got sent to everyone on your e-mail list),...

I had a lazy day today. In reality, most of my days are lazy, but I didn't even shower until 2:30 today despite having tons of things to accomplish. While getting ready to go out and do grocery shopping I came to a world-shattering, ego-destroying revelation: I have one pair of pants that fit, and those pants were wet and on the drying rack. I tried on every other pair of jeans in my closet and no...

Hello blog-o-verse!
Can you tell I'm not very good at sticking to a plan (i.e., updating this blog regularly)? Could be part of the reason I haven't been super successful in losing weight in the past. I find I get very restless and take on a bajillion projects, and that often ends up in most (or all) of them being neglected! At the moment I've got...

I recently made a commitment to do the Couch to 5k program with a friend. That will be interesting, I've never really had an accountability buddy before. I'm hoping it will help us both, and we'll be on our way to being happier, healthier people. In the past couple of weeks though, I've been getting antsy to do some exercise. I almost started without her, but this morning I decided I'd just hit my...

This is a bit of a boring post, but I had to write it down to show myself that it is possible for me to overcome my cravings and temptations.
Last night was a friend's birthday, and as always, we got good and drunk. The day after a heavy night of drinking is usually a write-off for me in terms of caloric and nutritional intake as I want nothing more than to stuff my face with greasy, carb-y garbage...

After yesterday's reflection on applying discipline from other areas of your life to health and fitness goals, today is all about consciousness and accountability. My challenge for the day is to make conscious decisions about everything I put in my mouth, and to log every one of those things on MyFitnessPal. Tracking has been a problem for me in the past, as it's far too easy to just eat something...

After each failure (or setback, if you want to be optimistic) in my struggle to lose weight, I find myself saying "I need discipline" or "I just don't have the discipline to stop (insert destructive eating behaviour here)". It's almost become an excuse to fail. Sure, stuff your face with a pizza, you don't have the discipline to stick to a healthy eating plan anyway. Go ahead and drop out of the...

I have the weekend off, which is great because it gives me more time to get things done around the house (especially since my fiancé is away). However, weekends off also kind of suck because I don't usually have enough to do to keep myself busy. That being said, while I won't be on my feet for eight hours a day this weekend, I am working on the small...
