Dental Appliances and Healthifying Your Food

Last Friday, though, my Noom coach checked in with me because I hadn’t opened the app in about 3 days.

So things broke down three weeks ago … Continue reading Dental Appliances and Healthifying Your Food →

Current Feels: March 5, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com

Marking the Real Rewards: February 26, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com

If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning, you’ll remember that those first few posts concentrated heavily on rewards systems, but that I haven’t concentrated on it much this year. Simply put, my rewards stopped being motivating after a while. “Who cares if I haven’t lost five pounds yet? There’s really nothing stopping me … Continue reading Marking the Real Rewards: February 26, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com →

And With Every High Comes a Low: January 21, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com

I want to make this blog a real thing, so to do that, I've gotta be as transparent as I can be without disappearing into thin air. 😉 This weekend has been a LOW. Low, low, low.

It’s That Time Again!: January 2, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com

Okay, folks. It's been over a year since my last update. In that time, I have gained 25 pounds, completely given up on my day planner, and forgot that vitamins even exist.

I Just Don’t Want To: Archive from May 8, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com

There comes a point when you're just happy with yourself because you're a "good person." I don't know what else to do or think about to make me motivated to lose all this weight. I started out really goal-centered, really positive, really motivated. I made lists and goals and plans and rewards and here it … Continue reading I Just Don’t Want To: Archive from May 8, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com →
