My Last Post For The Haters

November 12, 2007

(Only read this post if you have come from the site which has spent the past few days making fun of me, obsessively searching for my pictures, and calling me ugly and fat):
This will be the last time I address the comments that people are making on that other site about me.
1. I have [...]

Obsessed With Fake Fruit

November 11, 2007

The title says it all… since I cannot currently have real fruit (being that I’m on a low carb diet and all), I’ve somehow become obsessed with fake fruit. I have two different fruit bowls in the living room area alone…

Actually before going low carb, I tried having an actual real fruit bowl. [...]

More Updates

November 11, 2007

Reason #1725 that I like low-carbing: I can eat a steak four hours before going to bed, then get up the next morning and STILL be a pound lighter.
Today is a good day so far. I am getting tons of free publicity courtesy of the people who are completely obsessed with finding out who [...]

Calorie-Counting Doesn't Work Very Well

November 10, 2007

OK, it is absolutely, positively official now: calorie counting and exercise alone does NOT work for me. At least not very well.
Perhaps if I had a year to lose the weight I want, it would. At the rate I was going – 5 pounds per month, it would take 9 or 10 months [...]

Interesting…

November 10, 2007

I just discovered that there is a website making fun of a photo of me from back when I was 5′5 and 125 pounds. They are calling me fat, ugly and pro-anorexic.
Very interesting… My goodness if they think I was fat at 125, I wonder what they would think of me now? Plus [...]

No More High Blood Pressure

November 8, 2007

The good news is that my blood pressure is now 133/87. So it is not high. I don’t have to take meds… yet.
I’m supposed to go take a fasting blood test tomorrow.
The doctor said that I am not at an unhealthy weight, which floored me. I think it is because he sees [...]

Going Back to Low Carb

November 8, 2007

I’m going back to do a semi-low carb plan starting today (Wednesday).
I have a doctor’s appt. early tomorrow morning – 8am. I’ll report back here what he/she has to say about my health and/or weight, bp, etc. I wonder if he/she will tell me I need to lose weight. If so, I [...]

Let's Set The Record Straight

November 7, 2007

Well I have been accused of lying about my size in a previous post.
I will be honest – it hurt my feelings to be accused of being a size 14 or over when it simply isn’t true and never has been. Size 14 is considered to be for very large people, which I am [...]

Month One Progress

November 6, 2007

OK, I weighed myself and measured myself again today, and now have the results for my first month of eating healthy and exercising.
And the results are: I have lost a total of 4.9 inches and 5.3 pounds in one month’s time.
5.3 pounds in a month doesn’t seem like much, but honestly, doing it slowly [...]

Wal-Mart Pedometers Suck (And So Does Depression)

November 5, 2007

Lesson learned: Pedometers from Wal-mart suck. At least the one I bought, which really isn’t working correctly.
Oh well.
On another topic, I got a really good workout in yesterday. My Aunt and I walked briskly for an hour and a half – over 4 miles in fact. I plan to go on that [...]

Pedometer

November 2, 2007

I’m such a geek. I went out and bought a pedometer and have been wearing it today to see how many steps I take in a given day. Since my apartment here in Tulsa is quite large, I seem to do an awful lot of walking.
I’ll post what it says later tonight!

No Heart Problems, Just Acid Reflux (Possibly)

November 1, 2007

Well, I do not have any heart problems. This was confirmed after I spent five entire hours at a nearby hospital today. However, I have extremely high blood pressure. STILL.
To make a long story short, I had an extremely stressful couple of days. When I arrived home in [...]
