Skanky Tuesday – It Only Looks Like Herpes

March 6, 2012

Funny thing, apparently when you get a cut in the corner of your mouth and then you pick at it incessantly because you can never leave anything like that alone… ever… it results in a scab that everyone and their mother will assume is herpes. A few weeks ago I got all stuffy and couldn’t [...]

Taking Me Back – Stronger

March 5, 2012

 I’ve always had a love hate relationship with strength training. Sometimes I’m completely jazzed about the idea of it and every moment of exertion feels awesome. Other times the feeling of purposely working my muscles to exhaustion feels like torture. Last Sunday I had one of those days where I was all jazzed about it [...]

The Lazy Chef – Ground Beef and… Stuff

March 2, 2012

On Wednesday I mentioned how I often use dairy as a filler for when I’m in a hurry, feeling lazy, or am too tired to cook anything. Let’s face it, there are some days when I come home from work and anything that does not resemble a pillow and blanket can suck it. Those are [...]

Monthly Goals – March

March 1, 2012

Ooh, the pretty monthly goals! I’m awfully fond of making monthly goals but this month it was hard to come up with what I wanted to do since I’m already trying to continue with previous weekly goals and build new ones upon their precedent. It’s working! So, I’ve had to look at it this way, [...]

Weigh-In Wednesday – 236.8lbs, .4lbs Lost This Week

February 29, 2012

You know, I authentically didn’t expect to lose weight this week so I’m more than happy for what I did lose. I worked myself hard this week and I expected to see the body freak-out-and-hold-on-to-weight I’ve seen in the past when I started working out again. I suspect that there’s some of that happening but [...]

Skanky Tuesday – Everyone’s A Douche

February 28, 2012

It has long been my conviction that when it comes to matters of love, sex, and dating; everyone is a douche. Yes, even you. And me. Especially me. Think about it; we spend a lot of time talking about how men are all assholes. Guys probably spend almost as much time talking about how all [...]

Run Forrest Run – With a Fury

February 27, 2012

I’m kind of a brat. Anytime I’m told that I have to do something the odds of me actually doing it are slim to none. I really don’t like being told what to do. Even if it’s me telling myself what to do, I react like a petulant little seven year old, mentally stomp my [...]

Measurements Update: Month One

February 26, 2012

One month in. Again. I’m glad to be here. I can’t objectively say if I like this time or last time better but I’m definitely in a better place overall than I was two years ago. While starting over and admitting that I really fucked up was incredibly hard, it was absolutely worth it. I [...]

A Gift For Me

February 24, 2012

A long time ago, just before I started actively losing weight, I gave myself a gift. I told myself that I could eat whatever I wanted in whatever quantities I wanted. I also told myself that I could be as active or inactive as I wanted. I decided to take all the pressure off myself [...]

Giving It Up For Lent

February 23, 2012

This post was written on Tuesday but Skanky Tuesday and Weigh-In Wednesday took precedent, so it appears today. Funny how I went from having absolutely nothing to talk about to having to schedule posts ahead of time. ********* This year I decided to hijack a sacred religious tradition for my own personal gain. I’m going [...]
