Sometimes I think I am my own worst critic and that I tend to guilt trip myself over minuscule offenses. I guess this is probably a good thing and a bad thing. I’ve been feeling guilty that I haven’t really either had the time to work out or the impetus to work out very much [...]
I’m closing in on the one year mark of my journey into health, fitness and vegetarianism. I started Weight Watchers a week after New Years. Its been an interesting journey to say the least — one which I wish I had embarked on much much sooner.
The journey has not come without its challenges. Modifying my [...]
Its been a month since my last blog post. I’m still enjoying my pescetarian/vegetarian lifestyle. It has been a little over two months now and I haven’t hit any major road bumps.

Since my last update, I have survived my first month as a pescetarian and have officially hit the 40 pounds lost mark weighing in this morning at 160 pounds.

I picked up one of the books recently and have been reading it diligently ever since. While I am skeptical that you could be on an effective diet just by following the food [...]
I’ve been surprised that my weight is holding steady for the most part during a prolonged fitness slump. It’s not that I am not exercising at all or am not partaking in any kind of daily activities. I just have not been working out as rigorously as I had been up until maybe a month [...]

As I hover just above the 40 pounds lost mark, I am on a daily battle with stretch marks. Most of mine [...]
Once again my weight is fluctuating. Fridays, weight has me down to 162, with fluctuations up to 164 over the weekend. I’m getting close to the 40 pounds lost milestone. One of the things that I have come to realize is that my metabolism has changed. This is why I am losing weight when I [...]
