This is Me: Week 3

Published by Mary at 10:34 AM

Okay, let's just be realistic. A daily blogger, I am certainly not. But I will keep to at least posting my weekly photo updates. Happily, this week I actually DO see a difference! Do you agree? (Click to see what I looked like two weeks ago).

This is me: Week 2

Published by Mary at 2:27 PM

Alright, so I haven't been so good about the whole daily journal deal here. And, in fact, my lack of posting reflects my lax approach to the while size 6 quest deal. I mean, I did work out here and there, and made some decent food choices. But overall, I wasn't serious, and the (non)results are apparent. Still, I'll post my weekly pics, just for consistency. Notice any difference? Even just an ounce?... me neither =(

Is There Such a Thing as Diet Inertia?

Published by Mary at 9:07 PM



When you've been inactive for a while, the hardest part of exercising again is just starting. If you tried to get me to start a running program, I might seriously consider just getting used to my rolls and replacing all size 6s with size 10 dress. LUCKILY, there are plenty of other options. One of these is dance and, happily, I've always been able to dive right in to this activity.

This is Me

Published by Mary at 10:38 PM

This is me.


And so is this.


And, yep, this too.


But, no, I'm not blogging these photos into the eUniverse because I'm proud of those charming ripples in my back. Quite the opposite= I'm mortified!

Why, then, have I posted them? Simply this: I want public record (and the corresponding accountability) of my quest to regain my size 6 figure.

What I ate today:

For breakfast:

  • a bowl of raisin bran with soy milk
For lunch:
  • a chicken burrito
  • tortilla chips and salsa
  • peanut butter cookies
  • diet coke (yes, I'm one of those people)
As a snack:
  • potato chips

For dinner
  • baked chicken
  • corn on the cob
  • baked sweat potato
Alas, I must say goodbye to almost all things on this list... maybe I should start on Monday ;)
