What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
My week’s been crazy, not me — well, no more than usual. However, I continue to lose weight, so apparently this is good for keeping me busy. I really haven’t been thinking much about food. (There’s a lot more time to do stuff, by the way, when one isn’t thinking about food all [...]

You know, I was just in the kitchen, washing dishes before heading to bed (can’t stand waking up to dried up dirty dishes) and I realized — I am a different person. I have made permanent healthy changes. I’m not perfect, but I do pretty well. And I will lose this weight, in time. And [...]

OK, in typical me fashion, I made it through the tough part (the travel) pretty well and now I just want to kick back. Ugh. I don’t so much want to eat, but I do want to sleep and I have no energy to exercise. I want a miracle to occur.

Here’s my favorite quote from one of the Influencer blog posts on how to recover from failure by Maxfield:

I know I still owe you the final Influencer post, but I had to interject this one!
So, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that I’ve made a big personal breakthrough: Exercising to lose weight sometime in the future? Yawn. That’ll last a few days. However, having a goal like riding my bike to work [...]

LifeRemix is a great private collection of blogs. I found these two gems there tonight while riding my @#$^^&*&#$%@% exercise bike at 11:10pm to meet my @#$@#^%@^@#% daily exercise commitment. (But I did feel great when I was done.)

Well, down 3.3 more pounds for a total of 12.7 in three weeks!
-12.7 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-19.5 since starting blog
-36.5 from highest weight
I don’t feel deprived, I am enjoying (l.o.v.i.n.g.) the exercise I’m doing, and am so motivated.
This week was an extremely difficult week for a number of reasons. I’m glad I didn’t [...]

Hi, all! I wanted to get back to business and continue to my third post (see first here and second here) about the Influencer by Patterson, et al.
So far, we talked about figuring out what to change, getting yourself to buy in to the change (for real), and the ways to actually make the change [...]
