OPPW: Week Two – 301.2lbs
So this week, I went in the wrong direction. Despite being sick for two days, and eating nothing but saltines, rice and ginger ale for two days, I still managed to gain weight. I guess it doesn’t help that all I did for those two days was lie in bed,…

Weight Loss This Weekend
I have to admit, this weekend wasn’t so great for my weight loss goals. While I did do a ton of walking (probably close to seven hours in three days now), I didn’t eat as health consciously as I know that I need to. I did, immediately upon coming home,…

OPPW: Week One – 298.8lbs
So, it looks like I’ve made my first week goal (300.4lbs last week / -1.6lbs), despite not eating perfectly. I have been getting in a good hour of walking or more every day. I have been drinking more water, juicing, and eating lots of fruit and veggies. I’m planning on…

I Never Feel Full
I never feel full, I never feel satiated, I always crave sugar, salt and fat. It is more than a minor annoyance. How do people find the willpower to focus on eating and drinking right for long periods of time? I sometimes thing that I should just concede and start…

Three Days With Mild Headaches
So, at first I thought it was because of all the exercise I was getting in the crazy heat. I was sweating up a storm, and not getting enough water, but the last few days, I’ve been getting headaches, and I’m starting to wonder if I could be just as…

First Time Juicing
Today, I made my first fruit juice with my new juicer. My roommate was interested to see how it worked, the consistency of what came out and how it tasted. I quickly cut an apple into a few pieces and tossed it in, added two strawberries and half a dozen…

OPPW: Official Start – 300.4lbs
So today, I begin working my butt off in hopes of losing one pound per week. Today, I received my juicer, and a fan for my room. I went for a ninety minute photo walk to get my exercise in, and I drank five glasses of Brita filtered water. Other…

OPPW: Pre-Start – 299.2lbs
So tomorrow, I officially start my one pound per week project. Today, I got my scale, the only thing that was delivered by Purolator when I was actually home. Tomorrow, I should receive the juicer. Currently, the scale is saying I am 299.2 lbs. This is the heaviest I’ve ever…

Eating Right is Hard
So, I’ve been trying to improve my diet. I’m not trying to be perfect, or even amazing, just better than before. I’m eating more fruits, more vegetables, and less processed food, but I’m still finding it very hard.

Juicing Recipes I’d Like to Try
Here are some juicing recipes I’d like to try over the coming weeks and months. Some I’ve made myself, others I’ve found online. I’ve tried to “portion” them out for one or two servings as I won’t be refrigerating the juice I make. I will be drinking it immediately after…

One Pound Per Week Project
So, I’ve hit a wall again when it comes to my weight. I’m not sure exactly how heavy I am, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a scale said 300 pounds. The heat of the start of the summer, and the increasing difficulty in trying to find suitable clothes has…
