HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!
So I had a Debbie Downer post up before that I quickly took down. I was in a bad mood/sick/my back hurt, and I just wasn’t feeling New Year’s.
A nice answer to a question I posed in that post turned things around, and I got my nails done, bought some champagne and now am getting ready to party like a rockstar. After all…
THIS WAS THE YEAR I DID IT!
I lost 47 pounds!

Good Morning My Pretties!
startinganewlife:
This morning started off with me reading my twitter feed in bed. It was a bit blurry, but my eyes lit up when I read my lovie Theodora has an article in Glamour! Gahh!!!! The amount of excitement I have is indescribable. Well ACTUALLY it can be described as a little kid on Christmas receiving their #1 asked for present. Like to the point where you want to pee your pants, you...

Running Safety
Hi, I’m 26 going on 76, apparently.
But…I realized a few things today about running safety.
I’m still in the big N-J, and I went for what was supposed to be a 4.5-mile run. I’d spent the day engaging in retail therapy hell returning/procuring. (P.S. I got a kid’s [yes, I can fit into a kid’s size! Even if it’s XL…] North Face fleece for $49. Oh...
Maintenance is the fine line between neglect and...
As I write this, I have a sport-sized Poland Spring bottle next to me. What sport did I engage in today, you ask? Um, competitive carbo-loading. And I feel disgusting. I feel like the old Theodora. When I tried on new clothes today, I was shocked (and amazed) that the 4s and the 6s actually fit. I got a new scale, and I’m actually a little relieved I can’t figure out yet how to work...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
And to my fellow weight-loss hotties, doesn’t it feel awesome getting those smaller-sized clothes under the tree? I am psyched to try on my new clothes, rather than dreading it.
Nuts: Naughty or Nice?
maryrambin:
Yes, I do realize the title of this post is suggestive. Oh, well. Also, let me clarify that I don’t ever think we should ever classify foods as bad or good (naughty or nice, etc.). I prefer examining whether foods are nutritionally dense or not. But I couldn’t resist the title since we’re so close to the holiday!
So, nuts. Nuts can be confusing, right? On the one hand, we hear all...
If all else fails...
startinganewlife:
If all else fails (as in the corner store doesn’t support your fat free popcorn obsession), cook up some egg whites with fat free cheese. Well at least that is what I just did. It was a little on the later side but I would rather not be hungry then go to bed with a grumbly tummy.
Anywho right before I went onto my corner store adventure, my roomie asked me if I wanted to go...
Frustration
So, my 15K kinda sucked. I’ve had on-and-off lower back pain the entire time I’ve been running, and it definitely came back again after Saturday’s run, along with my entire right leg being wicked tight no matter how much I stretch. Joel and I talked about it today and these two things are due to a combination of factors: stress, a medicine I’d been taking, a lack of proper...

What kind of scale do you have? Does it show your BMI, etc? I’m a scale virgin and need to purchase one soon, but I’d like to get one that does a full-range of things.
I have a Tanita scale, but it doesn’t do anything special other than weigh me.
My buddy startinganewlife.tumblr.com recently recommended the Biggest Loser scale:
“I recently purchased The...
