I’ve been making progress on all fronts the past month, with a few missteps, a lot of success and a plan to move November into overdrive. Cyclocross & Interval Training This season has been great for me, something my placement doesn’t necessarily reflect. I’ve had a few really [...]

This week kicked my ass
I’m sitting in bed, noon on a Saturday, waiting for my head to stop throbbing, so it seems like a good time for an update. This week I instituted an entire healthy living overhaul. I’m getting minimum 7 hours of sleep. I’m down to 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I’m on a die[...]

The Death Spiral of Ungoodness
About 3 weeks ago, I almost wrote the post. The post that proclaimed: I finally made it to my goal weight! The post that said how after years and years of struggle I actually made it, how I had never actually weighed that weight at this height, how I stuck to my guns and how [...][...]

The secret to weight-loss for athletes
Acai! ….just kidding. Losing those “last” 10-15lbs until you’re at “optimal” weight is really, really tricky for anyone. It’s especially tricky if you’re involved in athletic endeavors because you must eat a ton of calories to keep your performance lev[...]
Getting there, day by day
As I was quickly making my way through my 105lb deadlifts yesterday, I was thinking about how far I’ve come in my strength training class (and everyone else in the class). I can hold plank for…ever (yesterday I was doing it with 20lbs of weights on my back), I can actually do pushups rea[...]

Doughnuts!
Monday morning Krispee Kremes, yum yum. 300 cals. Haven’t done this in a while since I haven’t been here, time to start up again. I think I’ve decided that the Office Project will continue on, and I actually might rename it and rejigger it a bit. I find this a useful tool to keep t[...]

On and off and on the wagon
I’ve finally come to terms with something about myself: I am really bad at being on diets. During the week, generally, I have no problems. But as soon as special events (aka going to a bar) crop up, wham! All bets are off. Although, not entirely; generally when I feel like I’m in “[...]

Ass = kicked, Soy Zone, and Power-tap envy
I’ve started attending my strength training class twice a week now. Yesterday I upped my weight on just about everything and really pushed myself to go a bit further (like doing 1-legged 1-armed planks, eg. left arm straight out and right leg straight out at the same time). That one’s a [...]
