First post of the new year!

Ok, so, I started the no junk food challenge and had one tiny setback. Tim Horton's decided to release a red velvet muffin. I was gonna wait to try it, but it was a limited time thing and I had no idea when it would finish, so I had one on January 1. Dunno if I wanna just shrug...

So sleepy. -.- But if I don't post now, I probably won't get a chance later. I'll try to keep this brief.

Like everyone else, I'll be having weight loss as one of my goals for 2014. But I'm gonna put forth a good effort to do it smartly and properly. At this point, my game plan is to have minimal weigh ins (like once...

Super quick post.

The latest attempt at a few low-cal days didn't have as good results as the last, but oh well.

And today I went to dinner with my dad's side of the fam. Just the standard buffet dinner at Mandarin and then going to my Oma's after for snacks and small talk. It's amazing how doing so little can make you so sleepy....

Gonna go for another few low-cal days.

I've been off work for the last 6 days and have eaten pretty poorly. I haven't weighed myself in those 6 days, but I don't expect a good number. So, since I have work for the next 4 days straight, I figure it'd probably be best to try and go low-cal for those days. Not sure if I'll...

Well, I did it.

After 3 days of meatless, low-cal eating and going to the gym each day, I'm down 6lbs. I doubt there were any inches lost, but I physically feel better. I might need to make this a regular occurrence. Or do a few days carb free or something. I'll see. Also, I didn't get to the gym today, but I just did...

Gonna give something a try this week.

I'm gonna have a few low-cal, meatless days in a row (Mon-Wed). I work 8 hours on all 3 days, which means I won't be able to snack all day. I'll also be hitting the gym after work for all 3 days, so I'm kinda hoping this'll jump start something. Now, the meatless aspect of this is not...

Another overdue update. I know, I know. Sorry. I'll try to keep this brief.

Ok, so, I don't think I told you guys that the battery for the watch portion of my heart rate monitor died. Well, it did, so for a while I was kinda "going in blind" when I did my work outs. I know some calories burned is better than no calories...

Time for a SUUUUUPER overdue update.

Where to begin? Well, I healed/am still healing from my eye surgery, but I’m on schedule with it. Vision is still pretty blah, but that’s to be expected for a few months. I have an appointment tomorrow (4 weeks post-op) and I expect that to go well. And hopefully they’ll tell me when I can think about getting my...
