Mike Week 4: Time Slows Down
Being disciplined takes time and determination. As I enter week four the relativity of time becomes more apparent than ever. Four weeks sounds like a long time but it seems that on a daily basis it feels like an eternity. Each day I try to approach in a series of a segmented day. Just have […]
Cassie Week 4: RepEAT
Yogurt, Kashi cereal, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, pasta, chips and verde salsa. That’s what I have eaten this past week, and pretty much every week. Every morning I wake up, drink a glass of water then wait until I’m hungry which usually takes 30 minutes to an hour. I put three spoonfuls of Yoplait strawberry yogurt […]
Byron Week 4: Going SUPER Green-Friendly
Last week I mentioned how I attempted (and succeeded!) my very first lettuce wrap. This week I get even more green-friendly! Before starting my very serious approach to weight loss and getting fit, I did a lot of research. I wanted to be sure that how I lost weight didn’t hurt my body in any […]
Mashelle Week 4: Confessions of a Chocoholic
This past week was rather difficult for me. After a long summer relaxing, working out, eating properly, and working on losing weight, I returned to work as a teacher. Last week, with all of the stress surrounding returning to work, I had a setback. Last Wednesday, I had a very stressful day. I had to […]
Scott Week 4: Back On Track
After last week’s emo fat post I resolved myself to put in the extra effort this week to make sure this wouldn’t be another check in that sounds like I want to slit my wrists. I have re-read last week’s post more than once since then and it all rings true, even now. I knew […]
Holly Week 4: Vacation
Dieting becomes exponentially more challenging when on vacation. Last weekend, I attended a camping trip in celebration of my brother’s upcoming wedding. Food options were limited to burgers, hot dogs, and chips. I tried to bring ingredients to make veggie sandwiches, but that was way too much work for such a laid-back event. On the […]
Elizabeth Week 4: What Does Exercise Got to Do With It?
As I have mentioned previously, I am a long time athlete, not in that fitness buff kind of way, but in the sense that there hasn’t been a day gone by that I don’t participate in some kind of sport. As a teen, I played every sport imaginable and I still continue to ‘dabble’ from […]
Catherine Week 4: Slowly Emerging From Island Plateau and Getting Over Feeling Trapped
Well I am down four pounds this week which is not bad. Actually pretty good. I would even have been happy if it were just a pound because it is so difficult for the weight to come off so this is a major blessing. I will be ecstatic when I am beyond 342 pounds because […]
Jade Week 4: Gaining Muscle and Losing Weight
Woo Hoo! I feel back in the groove. After having a one pound weight loss last week, I lost two and half pounds this week! I am almost to my ten pound weight loss for the month and I’m feeling fantastic. This week I really tried to get back to basics. I stuck with my 5 […]
Michaela Week 3: Becoming a Better Version of Myself
Weekly Update: Yeah me! Weekly Weight Loss: 2.5 lbs Inches Lost: Chest: 2”; Waist: ¼” ; Hips: 0; Arms: 0; Thighs- 1 ½” My biggest challenge this week? Muffling the quitter’s voice in my head. Thursday morning the voice won. I didn’t go work out but chose to sleep in instead. The funny thing is that […]
