Ketosis and Thirst
Posted on February 8, 2015 Leave a Comment
I am on day seven of my new journey. I chose to follow a ketogenic diet. I will explain why as I go along. I actually picked this diet for a scientific reason. Through my research, this was the best choice for my nutritional type. I feel GREAT on the diet so far. I am […]
No Longer All By Myself

So, about 30 minutes after my last post, my husband comes down the stairs and says, “I changed my mind. I’ll work out with you. Sign me up. I figure that if I can go cross country skiing and biking with my friends, I can work out with you. I just like spending time with […]
All By Myself

I’m sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I know that I need to do something to lose weight. I am tired of finding excuses to not do things that I know that I am in no shape to do. I really could use some support, but I asked my husband if he would join Orange […]

“I feel like I’m not doing anything well.” I was sitting in my advisor’s office at the University of Colorado. It was late April, I was supposed to be close to finishing an annotated bibliography for my thesis. My son was struggling in school with hyperactivity, which involved lots of communication with school. On top of […]
Every day I am married to you is the most stressful day of my life

When I first started this blog, I embarked on a journey to cut sugar and other carbs out of my diet. I was doing well until I started teaching for the Spring semester. Teaching takes a lot of energy and pulled a lot of my focus away from my dieting. I wish that teaching was […]
Plus-sized insecurities

I hate going to work events with my husband. I have never told him this. I usually go with him anyway. My lack of desire to go to work events with him has nothing to do with him. My husband loves introducing me to his friends. He often can’t wait to show me off. That […]

Blogging does matter. I haven’t mentioned this before, but I am writing a thesis for my masters degree. My thesis involves researching how people talk about obesity. That is actually what inspired me to blog about my weight. I was skeptical, but curious about why people blog. In the process, I discovered something: blogging really […]

Today, my cousin posted this article on Facebook: #FitFam: 11 Reasons Why The Fitness Culture On Social Media Needs To Be Stopped.” I was curious about the article, because my cousin is a fitness nut. He posts about what he eats, what he’s doing at the gym, what other people are doing wrong at the […]
Sabotage

Sorry for the silence. I have been both sick and super busy at work. I haven’t been able to stay awake after my kids go to bed. This week was a rough week. I was under the weather, and my husband had to cook. One night my family ate pizza. I ate it, too. They […]
Fat vs. Muscle
Posted on February 17, 2014 2 Comments
Today my friend posted a link to a blog about building muscle on Facebook. I perused the blog post for a little bit. (It was a little ranty for my taste.) As I scrolled down the screen, I saw a comparison of fat vs. muscle. Here is a similar picture from a Shaklee consultant: Wow. […]
