From the Hip

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 [...]

Post Meat Consumption Update + Abs & Core Galore

Post Meat Consumption Update
I’m two weeks into pescetarian mode and haven’t run into any major obstacles yet. Although, I need to rethink my work lunch strategy, since going pescetarian it eliminated probably about 90% of the frozen lunch/packaged crap options since each brand has a very small amount of vegetarian/fish/seafood options. I’m not saddened to [...]

New Adventures in Post-Meat Consumption….

Change can occur over time and sometimes you just wake up and the change is there waiting for you to notice it.

Last Friday, I began a new journey on the road to health and well being, I decided to give up eating red meat, pork and poultry and to become a pescetarian (a vegetarian who [...]

Ups and Downs

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 [...]

Weight and Fitness Check

I’ve started weighing myself daily, more out of curiosity than obsessiveness, to see what my actual weight range is over the course of a week. My average on the high side is 165, while my low is 163. I seem to be skipping over 164 altogether. Its just fascinating to me, I’ve noticed my weight stays around the high for a few weeks then drops to the lower weight and stays there for a few weeks and so on and so forth.

Maintaining the Balance

I managed to drop two pounds this week. I had been hovering in around 167 for awhile and then was steady at 166 all week, then dropped to 165. I find it kind of funny since I am on the Weight Watcher’s maintenance plan that when I lose weight, I get these funny little messages [...]

Health & Fitness: Updates

Since I last posted, I am holding steady around 166-167, which is fantastic considering that I have been overindulging a bit, though to be fair, my idea of overindulging has drastically changed. My worst day I rounded out at about 40 points on the Weight Watcher’s method versus my normal 26. Granted, I have an [...]

Health & Fitness: Yoga and Beyond

I’ve been meaning to write a follow up the the piece I wrote on Health & Fitness: Dieting awhile back because I get a lot of questions on a regular basis on dieting and fitness. I’m no expert by any means and different things work for everyone. The best I advice I can give is [...]

Hanging in There

I’m still working the Weight Watcher’s maintenance plan for now, though I managed to lose a pound this week without even trying and whilst splurging a bit more than usual between my birthaversary party last Friday and a couple brunch & lunch excursions. I’m not complaining seeing as I had braced myself for the possibility of [...]

Health & Fitness: Dieting

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about weight loss and exercise since embarking on the journey to health and wellness in January. It is now June, which takes me through a full six months of the journey. I’ve slowed down the weight loss (31 pounds to date) for the time being and am maintaining [...]
