Yesterday's race was AWESOME and I'm super proud of myself.  Today, I hurt :P Any my weight is up 2lb.  Last year after this race my weight was up 4lb!  I know this isn't "real" weight gain, so I'm not worried.  It'll be gone in a few days.

It's too early.  But this is race day and I'm leaving in 17 minutes.  As it's race day, I'm not 100% sure about what I'll eat.  

1: protein shake
2: post-race banananananananana!!!! (This is the real reason why I race.)
3: chicken cae

Yesterday did not go as planned.  I don't know if it was the blood draw in the morning or what, but I felt odd all day and ended up eating off plan to try to fix the oddness.  Thankfully, a few extra carbs did fix things and I ended the day feeling muc

Today is packet pickup for Sunday's race.  Woo.  

1: quest bar - I had to get fasting bloodwork done first thing, so didn't want to deal with a shake
2: leftover chicken cordon bleu dip
3: some

The word of the day is unprepared. 

Between now and class at 4pm I need to run, stretch, shower, eat two meals, do laundry, pick up my glasses from the optometrist, see my PCP, drive to school, prepare for group work in Anatomy and Physiology l

I'm awake.  

1: protein shake
2: not sure, maybe fajita meat - something that will be a guac delivery system.  
3: slow cooker chicke

Happy Tuesday!  It's 63F outside and I am so excited to go running!  I hope that the oppressive summer heat is finally over.  

1: protein shake
2: leftover something with guac - there are a few meat options in the fridge
3: probably a

Last week I posted that my next big goal was to reach just overweight.  And I made it!!  Yay rah!!  So now my current goal is 169 - One Hundred Fifty Lost/75% EWL.  My other goal is to get far enough under my partner's weight that the scale no longer a

I hate that the only way I can get extra sleep is if I skip exercise in the morning.  But going to sleep earlier than I already do means going to bed before my partner and that sucks since I value the pre-sleep snuggle and talk time more than I value e

Woo, it's Saturday!  I started lifting weights again today after a very long break.  It's nice to feel like I'm finally reclaiming my life since the Term From Hell that was the beginning of this year.  

1: protein shake
2: can you guess??

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS!!!!  Today, for the first time in the entirety of my memory, I AM NOT OBESE! Today the scale dipped to 174 - BMI 30.  I started off in the "Super Morbidly Obese" range and never thought I'd actually get to the "Overweight" range.  So

I woke up with quite a bit of pain in my neck/shoulders so I think I might skip running this morning.  

1: protein shake
2: leftover frittata
3: not sure, it's leftover night - maybe pineapple chicken stuff, maybe I'll need a protein

Big milestone this morning for me!  I can officially say that I've lost a gross amount of weight.  LOL forever. :D  

Yesterday's eating test went fairly well.  I didn't have my shake until 11, ate lunch at 2:30, and then dinner after class.  Sa

For the last many days I've just been exhausted and it's frustrating.  I wake up after a good 8 hours of sleep and just want to sleep for 8 more.  I'm 99% sure that it's just adjusting to a new schedule/new term, but it's very unusual and concerning.  

Happy Monday!  

High weight - 319

Last week - 178.2

This week - 176

Next goal - 174 "just" overweight

So close!

How about you?  

It's Monday again - it's a three day weekend for my family, so we're having friends over for grilling of meat.

1: protein shake
2: leftover frittata (I'll be sad when this is gone)
3: carne asada, various salsas, corn, tortillas for p

I've been completely exhausted these past days and I don't know why.  It's very frustrating since this term has just started and I fear this exhaustion will last until December.  I hope that it's just getting used to new schedules and a different work

I could use another 10 hours of sleep, since my week has been exhausting.  Maybe I'll just go to bed really early tonight!  

1: protein shake
2: leftover frittata
3: slow cooker pineapple chicken - in burrito form for the guys, just t

My Fall term just started on Monday.  (I'm working on my AA in Exercise and Sport Science - thanks VSG!)  I'm having trouble figuring out my Tuesdays and Thursdays and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.  

Here are the things that are se

I'm so glad it's Friday.  This has been a week.  

1: protein shake
2: leftover frittata
3: spiced ground lamb and chickpeas, leftover baba ganoush, rice for the guys

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: hopefully tai chi

Happy September.  Hard to believe, eh?  It certainly doesn't feel like Fall is almost here in the great state of Maryland.  

I'm not entirely sure about meals today since I'm in class from 4-7:15 on Tu/Th and have a 45 minute drive before and a

So, um, school started this week for me and I had been thinking "woo!  Only three credits (plus 2 labs), I'll have so much free time!!"  Yeah.. not when one of the three is Anatomy and Physiology.  I do think I'll have time to reclaim my exercise sched

My dad's service was lovely and the celebration of his life throughout the weekend was perfect.  I'm so grateful to have had such an amazing man for a father!  Now it's time to move forward - back to life and school.  My fall term starts today.  I'm on

This is my last day to be able to start this for a few days - so I hope someone else takes over through Sunday!  I'm heading up to PA today for my dad's memorial service which is on Saturday.  I'm feeling really grateful that my Binge Eating Disorder i
