Always trying....

So, I haven't had much to say lately, mainly because it's been a struggle and I feel like you guys are probably sick of hearing me whine.

I'm sick of hearing me whine.

It's been about a week or maybe a bit more, that I've been doing well. I haven't been weighing,  right now I don't think it's that important. It's more important to get my eating on track than it is to beat myself up for not losing or for gaining .5 ounces or whatever.

I've decided to set my goal low. Every 6 months I get weighed and blood work and all that for my study I am doing, and my goal is to lose 20 lbs in the next six months. I know it's slow going, but I think it's all I can handle at the moment. I'm doing well with my food, drinking fresh juices, I think tomorrow I will start tracking again. For the last week I've just been trying to make better choices.

btw, I had my blood work (cholesterol, thyroid, sugar, etc) checked in january and I haven't been back in to the doc to get my results, but when there is something amiss (Last time my cholesterol was 8 points too high) I get a letter from my PCP telling me to make an appt to talk about it. This time, no letter. I can't wait to see what my results are. I've been taking fish oil to help lower it.

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that I'm still around, still fighting the good fight, struggling, but still trying. Always trying.

Will write more next week when I've had some tracking under my belt. Not sure when I'll bother weighing.

    20 lbs in the next 6 months is TOTALLY doable. You CAN do it. YOU CAN!!!!

    It's actually one of my goals (20 lbs in 6 months). We can do it together.

    AND WE WILL!

    Chin up! YOU CAN DO IT! Now get out there and hustle, hustle, hustle and show your body who is boss!!!!!

    Sounds like we are in the same boat! I've been struggling too ~ in my case, it's being around a bunch of restaurants that I haven't had in Canada for the last nine years.

    Like you, I am just focusing on being on track, not what the scale says. We can both get into Onederland, and we're gonna! It just might take a while, and that's okay! WOOT!

    Please know that you always have my support and I would much rather "hear you whine" than not hear from you at all. Sorry I have not been around to read but with the new goals I have set for myself, I hope to be around more for support but also to be a supporter! Hope you are well, friend.

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b
