Only 3,272 Steps Yesterday :-(, but I'm Okay with That :-)

Okay, fine, I only took 3,272 steps yesterday, and my goal was 8,000, but, I think I needed it, and today I’m already up to 3,394 with our early morning taking of Milo to the dog park, so I think that today I should be able to hit the 8,000 mark. Yesterday, there was a [...]

Can I hit 8,000?

As I went through this week and my Fitbit seems to be very happy with my progress so far, this weekend could be tough to keep things up.  The main problem – oppressive heat.  It’s going to be hot, which will limit the outside options, and there is a lot of little things I want [...]

Here Comes the Heat

Today might be the last day for a good, lunchtime walk for a few days as the weather forecasts all show heat warnings coming.  It sucks as I’ve been doing really well this first week in, getting back into the swing of things.  I see two options on the horizon (well, three if you count [...]

Being a Furry is a Good Workout, but I Prefer the Term Mascot

Yesterday things were off of the chart for me, and I’m feeling it today.  Yup, my Fitbit says I hit 13,256 steps and nearly 7 miles, but the thing my Fitbit doesn’t know is that most of those steps were done hopping up and down inside of an elephant suit.  Yes, for a few hours [...]

Yup, I Need to Weigh My Food. For Awhile.

So yesterday I went for a 45 minute walk, and a short walk with Milo, and scored 10017 steps for just over 5 miles according to my Fitbit.  It was hard.  Okay, it wasn’t that hard, but the 45 minute walk is a tough go every day.  As I analyze today, with maybe a shorter [...]

One Step at a Time.

I had a couple of goals yesterday, on my way to getting back to healthy again, and the first was to write a blog.  Yay!  I did that one right away, so that was nice.  The other was to use my Fitbit and see how many steps it says I took in what I would [...]

211.2 - Time for More Fun!

I’ve been trying. Well, maybe not trying that hard, and I almost got to 200 pounds, but I’ve noticed that lately I’m slipping back into some old, bad habits, and with that my weight is drifting back up.  So, I’m back! I hope.

This post will be short, just to get me back into a habit [...]

I Think I Need a New Plan

2011 is here, and sure, I suppose I could celebrate the success of 2010, especially my getting married to my best friend, but for this blog it’s about my weight loss, and in 2010, my weight loss plan netted, drumroll please, 8.4 pounds.  Yup, according to my first post with my weight I tipped the [...]

Well, That Didn't Work.

And so, with my lack of posts for a while, it appears my getting on the exercise bike for just 15 minutes a day for 30 days didn’t work.  I could make excuse after excuse but the honest answer is that I just didn’t do it.  But as we get upon a New Year, yup, [...]

Day 23: Really Quickly

It’s day 23, here I am on my exercise bike again, and as my mind is a mesh of a billion thoughts this morning, I don’t really have anything to write for today. But, here I am, and maybe the next 13 minutes will help me clear some things up in my head!

This is my [...]
