  • Better Oats = Awesomeness

    I wanted to share a new love in my life with all my bloggy friends.  Better Oats is AMAZING.  I’ve always been an oat meal fan, so I’ve tried just about every brand out there and this is my current fav for several key reasons.  First and foremost is flavor; it’s strong, you can feel…

  • Week 11 update

    I missed a week!  Last week I didn’t post an update because I was sick as a dog!  You can see from the graphic above that I wasn’t bothering to record what I was eating (I was eating), or doing much of anything.  I did end up losing 3.09% of my starting weight for the…

  • Week 9 update

    Well, week nine was a dud.  Granted, I lost 0.89%, which is something, and puts me back over a total weight loss of 9.09%.  But it’s pretty obvious from the chart above that I wasn’t recording my eating or really tracking with the process.  In all honesty, I was thinking about quitting.  I kind of…

  • Week 8 update

    Ug.  So, last week I mentioned how even though I was recording a weight loss it was only because I had been away from my scale all weekend and couldn’t get it logged in time for the Lose It! app to include it with last week.  Which means that the gain from the over eating…

  • Week 7 update

    Ug.  I don’t want to talk about it. Confession time.  I almost didn’t blog an update this week, but that sets a bad precedent of avoiding my online accountability with myself so here it is.  I overshot my calorie budget for the week by 4,314 calories.  And that’s taking into consideration that some of the…

  • Week six diet update

    Week six has come and gone and I’m still plodding away at my goal to be presentable to Dr. H, the doctor for Biggest Loser, this coming May.  Now that the holidays have come and gone, and May is looking a lot closer, it has been easier to get back into a calorie routine.  According…

  • Biggest Loser season 11

    http://www.hulu.com/embed/GcUtQuh7wTtPgCcGih-CBQ Did you watch the premiere of Biggest Loser season 11 last night?  I have to admit, I haven’t seen it yet … but it’s the first season I’ve been excited to check out in a while.  I love the idea of new trainers, of changing things up, and the other things they have going…

  • Week 5 update: Another Holiday

    Another week down – this puts me a fifth of the way towards my deadline in May for heading out to California to see Dr. Huizenga at the season three cast reunion for Biggest Loser.  Typing that just made me tense up a little bit!  Granted, I’m about a third of the way towards my…

  • Week 4 update: the holidays

    For the first time, my weekly confessional/update/accountability report is on time!  Here’s how I did last week, ending yesterday.  My goal is to eat 2100 calories a day … which kind of got shot this week.  I have to admit, it’s kind of embarrassing to post this one – when I was on Biggest Loser,…

  • Week 3 diet update

    Once again, way overdue with the update.  I blame the holidays.  And the moving.  And cleaning out the old house … when do these excuses become no longer valid? Anyway, you can tell which days I had Christmas parties on … it only takes a few cookies to shoot the calorie budget.  It’s also reflected…
