Yepp, a legitimate checklist for my water intake. So, my good friend that introduced me to HealthyWage.com (Click my referral link here if you're interested! https://hwage.co/525687/) also turned me on to a guy who wrote a recent-ish blog post on drinking more water and how it helped him lose weight. https://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/how-to-lose-10-pounds-in-ten-days/?fbclid=IwAR3-mZ5MUwYtyQ20rYdNdkZ2No24q0oFuW1Z_8oUBpULco_-ikufyjG6dHg It's been life-changing.

Betcha I Can Do It!: January 7, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
So my good friend Ryan saw my last blog post and PM'ed me about a new weight-loss motivation site called HealthyWage.com. I checked it out, googled around, and it seems pretty legit. It's been featured on NPR and NBC, Time Magazine and the Washington Post, and a host of other sites and news outlets. So … Continue reading Betcha I Can Do It!: January 7, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
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. New Year's always provides a fresh start. It's like that "reset button" for life. There will be a lot of changes this year … Continue reading It’s That Time Again!: January 2, 2019: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Here I Am Again, Singing the Same Old Tune: Archive from December 5, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
No one got the song lyric from my post in March, so I'm making it the title to see if anyone can guess. 😉 I know, I know, long-time-no-post. Well here's the update. I gained 12 more lbs since my last blog post. I hit 237, caught sight of myself in a dressing room mirror, … Continue reading Here I Am Again, Singing the Same Old Tune: Archive from December 5, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Just Another Blog Post: Archive from July 12, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Alright everyone, I've put this off long enough. It's time for another blog post. I've got my Josh Garrels playing in the background, my coffee is hot, and my water bottle is full. Confession time. Since my last post, I've GAINED 15 lbs. 15. That's quite a lot in only 3 months time. I've tossed … Continue reading Just Another Blog Post: Archive from July 12, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
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
Rewards – Changes: Archive from March 8, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
So rewards update. Not that y'all particularly *need* to know every detail of my weight loss plan, but it helps me to write it all out. Because food is neither good nor bad (see previous post), it isn't helpful to use food as a reward for weight-loss. So I'm revamping my rewards system a bit. … Continue reading Rewards – Changes: Archive from March 8, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Micro-Changes and Comfort Food: Archive from March 7, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Okay, so in short, after talking with my therapist today and my life coach yesterday, micro changes are back on. (Yes, already.) But with a couple changes. I'm still keeping 4 of my original 6: 1) Set my alarm for 6:30. Changing to 6:15. 2) Drink a glass of water for every cup of coffee. Changing … Continue reading Micro-Changes and Comfort Food: Archive from March 7, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
Motivation – What’s That?: Archive from March 6, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
So, not only have I barely done *any* of my micro-challenges this past month, I've also GAINED 8 lbs. In a month. (She says while she eats a handful of chocolate covered cranberries.) I would love to say, "You know what, I've given up. I'm just going to be fat forever and I'm going to … Continue reading Motivation – What’s That?: Archive from March 6, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
The Micro-Changes that Didn’t: Archive from January 30, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
So I'm not sure where I went wrong. My first three weeks of micro-changes went fairly well. New habits established. Healthy attitudes. Consistent positivity. Then Week 4 hit, with new challenges. I really didn't change all that much. 10 jumping jacks to 15. Set my alarm for 15 minutes earlier and change the snooze amount. … Continue reading The Micro-Changes that Didn’t: Archive from January 30, 2017: Cross-Posted from SparkPeople.com
