Yep, I am still talking about dieting. I realize that vilifying a process that has served many for so long will upset some of you. While I do hope that my thoughts and writing will help some to make good decisions that fit their lives well, I do not expect to sway everyone and probably…
As I march through my eliminating the diet mentality week, I continue to find traps that I need to avoid. In my readings, I am finding that not being on an official diet is not the only way we (I) can fall into a diet trap. Tribole and Resch call this “pseudo-dieting”. This includes: “Counting macros”…
I actually skipped a step last week by starting with learning about my hunger. However, I knew it would take some time and I will continue to work on that issue while I examine the issue of diets. Two psychologists: John Foreyt and G. Ken Goodrick first talked about a phenomenon called the “Dieter’s Dilemma”. Essentially, this…
A year ago today, I was attending the first bodybuilding competition for my friend Tammy. She and I have both made many changes in our bodies and lives over the last few years (see her blog at: http://liftingmyspirits.wordpress.com/). I could not have been more proud of my friend and yet, there was a part of me…
A year ago today, I was blogging about managing my own and others’ worries as I prepared for my STAAR surgery. I was also looking forward to attending my friend Tammy’s first bodybuilding competition. My mind was busy and the level of stress I was experiencing was greater than I knew. The idea for this…
I cannot remember whether I have posted before and after pictures here. So, I apologize if you have already seen these. While I have been larger than this (with an all time high of 235), this is a pretty good representation of what I looked like for most of my adult life (except that I…
154 weeks using the bodybugg (most of the time). That’s about 1080 days! My weight loss journey began on March 8, 2010. That was 1127 days ago (and interestingly, that was also a Monday). I cannot begin to tell you all that I have learned about diet, nutrition, exercise, metabolism, weight lifting/training and so on.…
The short answer is…busy. The longer answer is that I have been spending time renewing my relationship with my boyfriend. I have also been recovering from some awful cough that kept me out of work for a week, out of the gym for two weeks, and off most cardio for three weeks. In addition, I injured…
How many of you live and die by the number on the scale? Does it make your day if it is a smaller number and crush you if it is a larger number? Do you weigh daily? More than once/day? First thing in the morning on an empty stomach or after an hour of cardio…
“Just say no” was a part of an anti-drug campaign in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. However, that is not how I am using this phrase. Instead, I am encouraging you to say no to a broader range of situations and people. How many times have you said yes to someone’s request for you to do…
