Up Zen Down(s): healthy girl 101

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2011/06/healthy-girl-101.html

Since my last blog, I've had a lot of ups and downs, weight-wise and life-wise. Without getting too dramatic, life has changed a LOT for me. My kiddo has gone back to living with his bio-parents (who seem to be on an anti-phone-calls kick), I'm finishing up my PhD in about a month, and I'll be moving to Wisconsin to teach. This is very much a transition summer. In order to do that successfully, I have a plan. Because that's how I roll. 2 Restart with Weight Watchers - ie, go back to meetings. 45 pounds -...

Up Zen Down(s): February 2011

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

So I've been off-plan for a while. But I'm BACK, baby. And even though I am the Queen of Starbucks today, I'm still on plan. Mostly because I imported lunch from Subway next door.

Up Zen Down(s): December 2010

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

I ate two salads. Reworked over 7,000 words of the dissertation. Finished grading for most of a class. Had dinner with a friend and her kiddo (and S-Baby). Fell asleep by 8:30 or so. And then. I woke up with pink eye. Again. But did you read about the salads? In planes that were packed to the gills with people.

Up Zen Down(s): New Start

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-start.html

I feel like I'm constantly looking for a way to get a fresh start lately. I've not had much luck with the new planners that I've been finding, in part because S-Baby keeps drawing all over them. And I, for some reason, want a clean new planner. Metaphorically. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

Up Zen Down(s): weighty times

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2010/12/weighty-times.html

Sigh Life is so difficult sometimes, for so many people. You know, I sit here and think about my world and my problems. And, let’s be honest, sometimes I wallow a little. Flying to NY was difficult last week - the seats were constrictive, and I wasn’t super thrilled with being stuck on the runway for almost two hours - TWICE! In planes that were packed to the gills with people. We all carry the weight of our souls with us; I forget, sometimes, just how heavy that can be. Hang in there :). 40 pounds - hai...

Up Zen Down(s): November 2010

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

So Today was a little extreme in terms of food. AM - 1 pancake, 2 eggs, 2 pieces bacon, 2 pieces sausage. Lunch - 2 double cheeseburgers, 1 small fry. Snack - a LITTLE bit of popcorn at Harry Potter 7.1. Dinner - Mashed potatoes, grilled shrimp (6), chicken. Exercise - haven't decided yet. But I'll get 10 minutes in before bed. So, not as a reward for my slackerness, but as a motivator to keep going, I downloaded Half-Assed. And Chris Downie's The Spark. To read through over this Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Up Zen Down(s): March 2011

http://upzendownzendown.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

I am taking back control of my health. I am done being a wuss. Tomorrow, BodPod at the gym. Workout. Weight Watchers. Next week, a meeting with a new doctor and an appointment with a dietician. My first session with a personal trainer. I feel like I'm constantly looking for a way to get a fresh start lately. I've not had much luck with the new planners that I've been finding, in part because S-Baby keeps drawing all over them. And I, for some reason, want a clean new planner. Metaphorically.

Up Zen Down(s): Stranded at Starbucks
