Triggers, Triggers Everywhere…

What’s a Trigger?
A trigger is defined as “anything, as an act or event, that serves as a stimulus and initiates or precipitates a reaction or series of reactions.” Weight Watchers has a great article about Eating Triggers on their website. They state that eating triggers fall into three separate categories: trigger foods, trigger feelings, and [...]

Binging Blunder

Friday I didn’t make it to Weight Watchers. Why? Because I was prepping for a marital blow-out, drag down style confrontation. Thursday night Sarcasman and I got into a fight over politics. We are on completely different ends of the political spectrum but usually we are good at playing nice with each other and just [...]

I Eat Too Much. Period.

These past couple months I’ve been in a funk. I’ve just felt melancholy, lethargic, and defeated in life in general. There is no real spur for these emotions, no crisis going on, and no life changing event that spurred my slow downward spiral in depression. I almost wish there was so that I could point [...]

Reinitialize Exercise & Tracking

My exercise level is faltering. Actually, it is almost non-existent at this point. I’m ashamed. Ashamed of my sloth. Ashamed of how lazy I am. Ashamed of how much I just want to sleep when I get free time.

Part of me thought that by “taking a break” from focusing on [...]

Where’s Kelly?

So I’ve been a little (lot) M.I. A.  lately.
What have I  been doing? Homework. Lots of homework. And reading. Not the fun type of reading either but textbooks and academic journal articles. I’ve also been working full time and am the Adult Community Head Coach for the Special Olympic track team right now, a task [...]

The Jumpstart Weight Loss Questionnaire

Sometimes life knocks us down. It seems that happens more often in the realm of weight loss. It seems like lots of weight loss/ healthy living bloggers are struggling right now. While I’d love to put on a happy face, say a motivational quote, and perk everyone and myself up let’s be real: sometimes the [...]

The One Where Kelly Can’t Seem To Pick Herself Back Up…

I came home distressed. I didn’t feel like the midterm went well. I got my homework back and my grade on it was less than stellar. Negative, nihilistic thoughts danced through my head. I called my mom and told her about my sad state of mind, my worries, and my frustrations. She listened and told [...]
