Again with the swimming! - The last thing I want to do when the alarm goes off at 5am is get up. The bed is warm, the room is dark, the dogs are snoring gently and the husband is just a comfortable, familiar...

NSV with job search - I just took an offer yesterday for a new job that's going to net me a lot - financially and professionally - and I'm sure I aced the interviews in part because, well, I'm super sma...

Reward / Punishment = not playing that any more - I replied to a forum post here: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/VSG/4573780/How-do-you-reward-yourself/ that I did not reward myself for any moment of this journey. Back in th...

One last NSV before bed... - I have a job interview tomorrow and of course, have zero to wear. I had some Real Woman dollars from Lane Bryant that were going to expire so I headed over there. The slacks I b...

Here's what happens when you don't weigh yourself - You lose another 5 pounds! I'm 6 pounds away from 199. FREAKY!!! 

Today's NSV is also annoying - My bra straps keep falling down. I bought some double-sided wardrobe tape, but if I run out the door without it, I'm adjusting all day long. The reason I think is that I'm melti...

Who's on Fitocracy? - Find me - littlelizard

Ballet. Also known as sadomasochism. - Second day after ballet class and several of my thigh muscle groups are killing me. Deep muscle soreness is what they call it, and boy do I have it! I haven't been able to gym or s...

Getting cross fit -  I took an adult ballet class last night and would like to be heavily sedated today.    Having my ass kicked by a tiny little woman in a leotard has made me realize that I am goi...

Ugh. Overeating SUCKS!!! - I am still having issues with overeating my sleeve and right now, after too much gyro meat and salad I want to barf. I am actually debating throwing up. I think it's the salad t...

On swimming... - When the alarm goes off at 5am I hit snooze. When it goes off again at 5:10am I get up, suit up and head to the club I swim at. I do a breaststroke, a crawl, and a backstroke. I do...

Really, really do hate my period. - You're jogging along, enjoying life and the looseness in the latest size of jeans you got. You're up at 5am to go swimming or to hit the gym for a run and you're, well, happy. T...

A little bit of a mind-blowing NSV - I had some Target polo shirts in the back of my closet that I like, but was uncomfortable wearing as they were fitted, and when I sat down the bottoms rode up and you got to see wh...

"Keep doing what you're doing!" - I had my 3 month follow up with Dr. McGill this morning. I'm still right on target. I've lost 38% of my excess weight (48 pounds). I haven't had complications, and it's been a sati...

Yes. I ate ice cream. On purpose. - I did not go into this process with the mindset or intent of "never" eating "xyz" ever again. I think that's a great way to psych yourself out and to set yourself up for failure. ...

Dragon*Con NSV - I spent all Saturday at Dragon*Con (which for those who do not know is a HUGH sci-fi/fantasy geekfest in Atlanta). It is spread out between 6 hotels and frequently it's faster to t...

NSV only you guys will understand - I'm wearing a fitted knit t-shirt today. I'll try and get a photo later.

I think I'm under 220 - I stepped on the scale this morning and it hovered at about 218/219. It's an analog scale and I have to put it in the same spot on the floor and step on it the same way every time ...

This week's goal - DONE! - I was at the pool bright and early this a.m.! 30 minutes of pretty consistent lap swimming. That's 2 days this week and on my plan of swimming Tuesdays and Thursdays. w00t!

Wow! I did actual laps in the pool! - This morning at 5am I was up and on my way to the pool. I am a pretty good swimmer as in I am adept in the water and probably wouldn't drown in a boating accident, but I am not a g...
