Life is not all hats and horns

…and neither is this weight-loss mission.

I’ve gained my stupid pounds back – the ones that I keep dancing with over and over again. It’s not like I don’t understand why I am gaining weight. What I don’t understand is how ‘that thing’ that makes people gung-ho about accomplishing something works. I’m certain that it’s [...]

Bad ideas and more lessons learned

Talk about screwing up a good thing. I totally wasted this month with my ‘plan’ to only do the c25k program. What an idiot. So basically, I’ve been gaining and losing this pesky 4 pounds all month and I’m pretty sure it’s because my exercise routine is shot to shit. I have to get back [...]

Weighing in (morning rituals)

People say (whoever those people are) you should only weigh yourself once a week. I say phooey! I weigh myself daily…sometimes out of curiosity, multiple times. I think its fascinating how much weight we gain during the day. Sometimes at night, I weigh as much as 5 pounds more than I did in the morning! [...]

Moving right along…(or not)

It’s been a long last couple of weeks. I came frighteningly close to throwing in the towel. Imagine that? Who does that? Well… lots of people I suppose. I remember the first couple seasons of the biggest loser – the winners all gained their weight back. After that, the producers started incorporating mental health into [...]

Obesity… it’s morbid.

 

Didja see that little play on words there? LoL So darn clever I am.

Ok, so this morning I figured I’d see how far I have come on the Body Mass Index or BMI.

When one is obese, it means that a person is 20% or more pounds over their ideal weight. This equals [...]

Lessons learned

Back in January when I started walking, I made it my business to go out almost every day. It was like, my mission. I felt like if I didn’t go out every day, or almost every day that I would quit. I was always a bit of a quitter – especially when things stopped being [...]

Osteoarthritis

Looks like I have the most common type of arthritis: osteoarthritis. Here’s a picture of the horn growing out of a disk on the right side of my lower spine.

big ole’ horn-o-arthritis

I have some more on my upper back and my tailbone is almost fused with my lowest disk. My neck is [...]

Endomondo

There are a few apps that do the same thing but Endomondo was my first and I’m sticking with it. I’ve downloaded RunKeeper and other similar apps to my phone but I’m afraid to try them. All of my stats are on Endomondo so that’s what I’m sticking to. Below you’ll see my history. Give [...]

The first days of walking

I mentioned in the ‘get up and go’ page, that my first days of walking were horrific. Today, I went out for a leisurely stroll and retraced my steps using the Endomondo program. Turns out, I used to walk the .57 miles to the cafe where I would have some coffee and wait for the [...]
