2:30am Update

April 3, 2010

Yikes! I really shouldn’t be up right now. Actually about to go to bed any second now. I wanted to update though and say that I had fun tonight, I spent some time with some great people and even went shopping with a couple of girls. I took my blood pressure [...]

Friday Update

April 2, 2010

TGIF! Thanks again for all the super sweet comments I got yesterday and today for my last post!
So, onto updates. My body still hurts, I am still tired although I’ve cut way back on my Librium and take just one or two a day now. I need to start monitoring my BP [...]

Visualization, Hypnosis Miracles & My Hospital Visit

April 1, 2010

So… I’ve alluded to the fact in a recent post that I was in the hospital last week because of dangerously high blood pressure. Here’s the story. Brace yourself, it’s a long one. It’s a pretty ugly story that gets beautiful and hopeful at the end.
I’d like to state up [...]

Super Duper Quick Update

March 30, 2010

Sorry I haven’t posted sooner… it’s been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy these past few days.
I am doing fine. In fact, I had the most amazing experience of my life last Friday (two days after my hospital experience) that has changed my life hopefully forever. To make a long story short, it was during a powerful [...]

Feeling Better

March 22, 2010

Ever since making the decision to go back to Vegetarianism, I have felt 100% better! I didn’t realize how much it had been bothering my conscience to eat turkey and chicken.
In case anyone was wondering, these are the main reasons I decided to go back to being a Veg:

Digestions and elimination. When I’m [...]

Going Vegetarian Again

March 20, 2010

I’ve decided to go back to being a vegetarian.
I doubt anyone is surprised at this point. I change my mind so often that it’s quite silly!
I’m just going to focus on getting more protein this time around. I will get it in the form of fake meat, rice and beans, whole wheat [...]

Quick Saturday Update

March 20, 2010

Happy Spring!
Of course, it’s snowing out and I’m pretty much stuck indoors today.
I did well on the Paleo type of diet on Thursday, but I decided not to stick with it. Truth be told I just see no real reason to give up my grains altogether! I don’t seem to have [...]

Experimenting With The Paleo Diet

March 18, 2010

So, I’ve decided to experiment with the Paleo Diet today. I discovered that I already have been pretty much eating the Paleo way except that I add in grains and a little dairy. So today I’m going to cut out grains and only have Greek Yogurt with my lunch. I’m curious to [...]

Wednesday Update

March 17, 2010

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate it! I’m like 60% Irish but I’ll be staying sober tonight.
Ever since I began eating meat (poultry) again, I swear my body is craving it more and more. I’ve been having turkey and/or chicken nearly every day and really, really enjoying it! I’ve even [...]

Monday Evening Update

March 15, 2010

Proof that I’ve been sitting in front of the computer wayyy too long today: I’m sitting here giggling maniacally over the Marky Mark pics I posted a while ago on the skinny website. (Not in a mean way because oddly enough even with the weight gain, I think he’s still hot!)
Today’s [...]

Monday Update

March 15, 2010

I was absolutely exhausted this morning! My “get up at a decent hour” trick didn’t work like it usually does. Usually if I know I’m going to be tired in the morning but want to make sure I get up at a particular hour, I’ll set my phone alarm for one hour before [...]

Late Sunday Night Update

March 14, 2010

Well, I ate around 1700 calories today and worked out on my stationary bike for 45 minutes, plus did resistance band arm exercises.
It looks like my appetite has returned!

Sunday Evening Update

March 14, 2010

I woke up super, super late today. I slept 12 hours in all… I guess I needed the sleep or something! I was also exactly 1 pound down on the scale from yesterday (which means an additional .6 pounds, since I’d gone up .4 yesterday). I hope the loss keeps going.
Today’s eating [...]

S: bagel with fat free cream cheese (170)
D: 1 cup raspberries, 1 banana, a serving of steamed [...]

Saturday Morning Update

March 13, 2010

I’m sitting here drinking a cup of coffee for the first time in many, many months! I decided to make some coffee this morning and I forgot what a nice legal ‘kick’ it gives you.
So in order to kind of ‘get things moving’ (which is also one reason I’m drinking coffee) and also [...]

Friday Update & Another Long Spiel

March 12, 2010

TGIF!
Today has been a pretty crappy day all around.
First off, my sister’s puppy’s skin/fur condition has gotten a lot worse, so we had to take her to the vet’s again this afternoon. They said it takes several months to clear up the condition. The poor sweetheart. My sister has been [...]

Thursday Night Rambling Update

March 11, 2010

(I really need to come up with better post titles already!)
So, I went and saw my psychologist today. I found out there is an eating disorders group that meets just down the hall (or sometimes right there IN the hallway by the elevator for whatever reason). I had kind of suspected it [...]

An Old Photo of Me & Update

March 9, 2010

I found an old picture of me from August 2002 when I was in New York City… I was 5′5 and somewhere between 125-130. One reason I’m posting it is to show the general weight range that I’m planning to get down to. Well, I’m actually shooting for around 120, but if I [...]

Quick Monday Update

March 8, 2010

Just a quick update…

I was down another .8 pounds on the scale this morning.
Had a lot of trouble sleeping last night for some reason and I’m beyond exhausted today. I’m taking the day off from exercising.
My therapist today told me I am looking much better overall. She saw me one week ago [...]

Quick Sunday Update

March 7, 2010

Looks like I’m back to daily weighing for the time being! I’m down another half pound on the scale today. Considering how much sodium I consumed yesterday plus how hard I pushed my muscles, I’m surprised I’m down at all! Usually when I really push my muscles, the scale goes up [...]
