Week 4 Summary

November 9, 2009 by hollie Goals Update

This is the end of my first month of moderation! I updated the progress page to reflect this week’s achievement of staying pretty nearly in the exact same place. And it’s okay! It doesn’t look like anything is happening, and yet I just know it is. I’m not worried at all about the lack of [...]

Week 3 Summary: Changing habits around food and exercise requires change around other areas of life, too

November 3, 2009 by hollie Goals Update

It’s Tuesday morning, and the start of a new week. Last week was just messy. I did accomplish my goals last week (see the Progress chart for latest notes), but barely. I was exhausted, I hardly exercised at all, my anxiety problems were acting up, and there was a lot of stress. As if to punctuate all [...]

Klicker strawberries, and some amazing brownies

July 4, 2009 by hollie Food and Recipe Reviews

Here in Ellensburg, we have a local ice cream shop called Winegars, and every year they sell buckets of these amazingly delicious Klicker strawberries, which are grown in Walla Walla Washington. I bought a 20 pound bucket, which takes up a not-trivial amount of space in the fridge, but they’re so delicious none of us [...]

Tossing out the scale; keeping my bike

July 2, 2009 by hollie Exercise and Fitness

This is me this morning after my half hour on the stationary bike. I’m exhausted. I’m so out of shape it’s surprising I can get up the stairs to bed.
Mmmmm, bed. The question at this point isn’t WILL I take a nap, it’s WHERE WILL I? The kids are in daycare today, which means I [...]

Elimination Diet | Day 4 | I’m kicking butt!

June 25, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Ahhhhh, Day 4, lovely Day 4. Look at me smile! That’s a real smile! I’m feeling much happier today! I woke up with some anxiety symptoms, but I took a dose of my anxiety medication before I even got up, and within a short while I was feeling much better. I’m definitely convinced at this [...]

Beans. Bah.

June 24, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

After I wrote my last post, I began considering the idea that I might want to add back in one major group, just so that I’d have something else to eat. Right now it’s pretty lean times over here, made much worse by the fact that I just don’t like a lot of vegetables.
So I [...]

Why am I eliminating everything?

June 24, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Megan asked these questions in a comment, and they went along with some questions that one of my Megs asked, and I figure I ought to answer it in a post in case a few people are wondering.
Megan’s questions are in bold:

Elimination Diet | Day #3 | STILL ALIVE

June 24, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I can’t believe I made it to Day 3!
This is me after a shower this morning, with Beth sitting in my lap, eating an apple. We’ve both been eating a lot of apples lately. They’re sweet and crunchy and they’re easy to eat quickly (wash and go!).
General Status:
I still feel crappy. Very worn out. It’s [...]

Elimination Diet | Day #2

June 23, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Okay, so for those of you counting at home, which I’m sure is everyone no one, it’s now been approximately 36 hours and 12 minutes since I had sugar.
As you can see from this incredibly flattering picture: NO BOILS. My skin is not burning off, nor do I seem to have any rashes or other [...]
