If you’re not one of the lucky, naturally-thin folks out there who is blessed with a metabolism that leaves you actually wishing you could gain weight, then most likely some form of weight management needs to become a part of your life forever. Unless of course you want to “accept” fatness as a facet [...]

“Cook Yourself Thin” TV show

I don’t really like to watch too much TV, but sometimes on weekdays I have off I’ll cruise the channels a little bit with my morning coffee or tea until I’m fully woken up. Today I caught a show on Lifetime TV (which I usually HATE mind-you) called “Cook Yourself Thin.” As most [...]

Amy Tracks Her Progress is my new blog. It’s more or less an online archive/back-up of my spankin’ new food/exercise journaling/progress tracking program I designed for myself by tweaking a food/exercise journal template I found on The Balanced Weight Management site . Go to my new blog and you’ll learn of how I [...]
“But I hate to exercise – it never works!”
Posted in eating habits, food and drink, health and fitness, human behavior, tagged health, junk food, diet, exercise, fitness, soreness, hating exercise, getting sore, new to fitness, healthy food on 05/07/2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently had a discussion with someone who has tried a few times to get into an exercise routine/healthy eating pattern, and always got impatient as far as seeing results. This person also maintained that they never enjoyed it, always felt sore no matter what, and it always felt like a boring chore to [...]

Well, it’s been a long time since I posted. I realize that there are going to be infinitely stupid things said and thought about weight loss and healthy lifestyles in general, so it might not be the end of my desire to post on here. I’ve had many unfortunate things happen in my [...]
This blog’s future after I reach my goal…
Posted in eating habits, human behavior, my weight loss, opinion, tagged blog, diet, eating, economy, fat, financial crisis, goals, names, weight on 03/18/2009 | Leave a Comment »
So I thought about this. Once I reach my goal weight (31 more pounds to go!), I’ll have to change the name of this blog to, “Amy Lost and Won,” or something like that. Or I could just change it to a name that reflects the topics I like to focus on, which [...]

Oh, my. Public transportation in a small city can lend so many opportunities to look at your own life and go, “wow, I ain’t got it so bad!” These are seriously the people I look at and think, “Gawd, no matter what happens, I’m not going to let that happen to me!” [...]

“I’ll eat this meat, until my innie turns into an outie.”
I tell you if a woman made that same declaration on a commercial for a fast food place, it would not go over nearly as well. The sentiment that exercise, or watching what you eat, is somehow for women only [...]
Different nutritional approaches, and my sugar “addiction”
Posted in eating habits, food and drink, health and fitness, my weight loss, tagged sugar addiction, HFCS, high fructose corn syrup, nutritional approaches, human food, whole foods, complex carbs, good fats on 02/28/2009 | 2 Comments »
I hate it when people try a certain type of approach to diet, then decide that since it worked for them it must ultimately work for others and then they get all dogmatic about it. Who’s to say one style of eating is right for everyone?
There are so many approaches out there: South Beach, [...]
How did you do it?
Posted in eating habits, health and fitness, my weight loss, tagged persistence, silly questions on 02/18/2009 | 2 Comments »
I had 3 different regular customers at work comment on my weight loss yesterday. I think because it has been so slow and gradual over the last 2-odd years that several people who see me frequently are just now starting to really notice a dramatic difference. They always ask me how I did [...]
