A Journey Towards Feeling Great
I have started a new blog, but will continue to update things here as well.
My new blog is about juicing for weight loss and I am really excited about learning more about juicing and sharing it with everybody. you can find the site at:
Please join me as I make it bigger and better, while getting smaller and leaner!
The weekend went by fairly quickly. I was at an event on Friday night and Saturday and came home Saturday nigh for some much-needed concentration time to get a bunch of things done.
Sunday was spent cleaning up the house, which included getting the trim paint out and trying to get a start on the office trim so I am ready to redo the floors in the Spring. It will be nice to have all the floors completely done, even if I don’t know how I am going to keep the cat out, and where I will sleep for a few days while the process is completed.
Food-wise, I kept pretty much on target the last few days. Sunday night I had some comfort food of mac & cheese and a few fish sticks. I also bought a 6 pack of Zevia soda, which is far better than regular soda, so I am not going to count it against me!
Sunday night I tried taking some new social profile photos, and failed miserably. I need to make an appointment with a dermatologies to look at the cracking on the sides of my mouth, as well as the peeling and irritation of my eyelids and under my eyes. I also have a wound on my hand that hasn’t healed in at least 2 months. I haven’t been to a dermatologist before, but I really hope they can help. Ive tried just about ever combination of over-the-counter ointments, and I still end up looking like The Joker.
To say I am unhappy with my appearance would be an understatement. It has affected my self-esteem lately greatly, and impacts my confidence and the overall way I carry myself. Losing weight is only half the battle, I know. And I can’t look 20 again. But it would be nice not to always have puffy eyes and the double chin. I am working on it, but it really bothered me trying to take these photos today.
The scale didn’t show any gain or loss for the last few days so that is a good thing. I hope I can lose a few this week and get under 240 again. I really need to see some progress right about now.
Until next week…
For the most part, things have been uneventful the last two days. Most of the days followed my regiment of Yogurt in the AM, lean cuisine pizza or cheese & brocoli for lunch, carrots for snacks, and a sensible dinner. The big change this week … [Continue reading]
Today started with what could have been a very bad start. While I got a lot of things done before heading out to work - I forgot to have breakfast. Normally this meant a trip to the local Kum & Go gas station for 2 slices of breakfast pizza. … [Continue reading]
All in all today was a good day - at least food wise. Started off with my stand-by breakfast: YoLite yogurt and granola topping. Had a mid-day snack of baby carrots with light ranch dressing. Lunch was my usual Lean Cuisine pizza. For … [Continue reading]
This past week was the first week I was determined to get back into the habit of eating (and feeling) better. While I was fairly successful at shedding the need for soda (pop) again, I was tempted several times by things I know were not good for … [Continue reading]
You will see the last an entry was posted on this blog was back in July. At the time - everything was going great. I was at my lowest weight in years, I just had my 20 Year Reunion, I ran my first 5K, and people were complimenting me on how great … [Continue reading]
Big update to onemansloss.com coming soon! … [Continue reading]
We all like compliments. When I posted my before/after photo on Facebook I was in awe as they poured in. I watched the little notification of a new comment and then eagerly typed "thank you" to each one as they came in. A week and a half ago I … [Continue reading]
It's now been about 2 months since I have had any real weight loss results. Truth is, I've been cheating - sneaking in a soda here, chips there, eating out now and then, etc. Inside, I know what I have to do to get on track, I've just convinced … [Continue reading]
