Here I am, back in the game.
Posted by: underneathsarah on: July 10, 2009
Hello to everyone reading this, if there are any of you left. I dropped off the face of the earth, moved to a new apartment, finished up classes, fell off track, gained 15 pounds, and got back on track.
My lowest weight on the plan was 217, which was sometime around April, and as of last week I was back up to 232. fortunately, I caught myself and am back on plan and working back down to that lovely 217. Oh so close to 199. I have had some MAJOR setbacks, and never really went completely out of control, but as you can tell by the weight gain, I wasn’t being healthy. Too many carbs, too many drinks, too much pizza!
Hooray for Friday today! I am up early and just finished a “Green Monster” shake. They are seriously unbelievable, and I HIGHLY recommend you try them if you haven’t. Here’s a link to the info: http://greenmonstermovement.com/
I weigh in on Monday, and that will be the first real day that I am hoping to see a loss, which I am excited about!
I’m back!

I have decided to return to the blogging world. Expect a long return post tonight!
On Blogging
Posted by: underneathsarah on: April 25, 2009
In the beginning I felt like this blog really helped keep me motivated, and now I feel like it’s something I have to do. I don’t really enjoy it anymore, but I do occassionaly go back and read my earlier posts. I think I am going to stop blogging for a while and maybe return to it this summer when I have a little more time.
That being said, I am still on the WW plan and doing well. Almost at 40lbs total lost, which is nearing half of my goal. It’s taking longer than I originally wanted, but I am learning a lot and adjusting nicely along the way.
I will check back in in the future.
Another one bites the dust!

Silly title. I know. Anyway, I am a busy bee today because i’ve got class, but I wanted to check in. I weighed in this morning, and I lost a nice, even 2 pounds this week!
That’s a total loss of a little more than 34 pounds! I can’t wait until that number is 40!
I am finally at 219. Getting closer and close to that magic number, 199. I seriously can’t belive that in 19 pounds I will be below 200 again. Seems unreal. It will be the first time in 4 years I was below it. And then, only briefly because I was dieting. So it will be the first time in 6 years that I have weighed that weight comfortably, and not on any crash diet.
Having short-term goals totally helps.
Quick Blog: ALERT!

Wow….I am sitting at my desk at work, and I suddenly felt inclined to cross my legs. I haven’t been able to for over 2 years. And…I can now. Small victory, but a tremendous success nonetheless. Go me!
Another week down…
Posted by: underneathsarah on: March 23, 2009
I weighed in this morning and I lost another 1.2 pounds! Even over spring break!
I am excited to be really working toward my goal again…almost 33 pounds lost! I can’t wait to make it 40!
Bad weekend :(
Posted by: underneathsarah on: March 22, 2009
I had a really boring weekend. I hate that I have been complaining so much lately…or not blogging at all. I have just felt like total crap. There’s nothing to do and most of my friends have moved away since they’re done with school. I have two good friends who I hang out with all the time, but we don’t ever do anything exciting really.
I have gotten into a rut of just drinking and watching tv on Friday and Saturday night. That’s it. I never feel like going out, because I am not comfortable with my physical appearance. I literally crave interaction with people my age, but I can’t get up the nerve to ever go out. When I do I just sit there with my two friends and we don’t talk to anyone. I am desperate for a change of scenery.
Milwaukee is not a city I ever really wanted to live in, but when I first moved here I knew a lot of people. Me and three friends moved here from Indiana and quickly made other friends. For the first 4 years we knew a lot of people, and then everyone graduated and eventually moved away. Even the family that I had here is now gone.
I’m painfully shy and awkward in public, and I don’t make friends easily. I have been waiting to really push myself to go out in public more until I shed some more of this weight, but the depression from lack of entertainment is slowing me down. I’ve only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 weeks.
Tomorrow is weigh in, so I am happy to get new points and start fresh. I even went out running yesterday for the first time this spring. I can run about 20% better than I could last year even after practicing because I have lost 30 pounds. I can’t believe how much easier it makes exercising!
There are things to look forward to…but I am hopelessly depressed lately. I dunno…I guess that’s it. I am going to go back to cleaning my apartment now.
Ups and DOWNS!

I am publishing this quickly while at the office, because I have a ton of updates to come! I have been away again visiting friends and family, and have had some tough times with food…especially with St. Patty’s! I had to skip this week’s WI since I was out of town, but I am finally home and back on the bandwagon. Longer update to come…
Spring Cleaning!
Posted by: underneathsarah on: March 12, 2009
I guess I shouldn’t really call it that, because I only cleaned one room of my house. I finally got around to picking up the laundry I had throw everywhere. I also opened the windows, plugged in a “Wallflower” from Bath & Body Works and vaccuumed everything! I feel much better now!
This week has just been FLYING by. Today was my last day of class for the week, and it’s officially spring break! I do have to work Thursday and Friday, but this weekend I am going back to Indiana to see family and friends. I am looking foward to it!
I have been doing really well with food this week. I am 3 days in and I still have most of my weeklies left!
Well, I just wanted to check in since I have been the worst about blogging lately. I will be back to chat later 
Week 16 is over!
Posted by: underneathsarah on: March 11, 2009
My weigh in was on Monday, but I am just now getting around to blogging. I am pretty proud, because I lost again. My loss has been small the last few weeks, but it is consistently going down. I had a weird hiccup last week where I was bloated like CRAZY for weigh in, and then the next day all of the weight magically came off…hence the 3.6 pound gain and then 4.2 loss. I’m just glad those pounds are gone!
I am just going to keep sticking with it. I have been feeling bloated and gross because I have been eating too much junk food. I have been so busy with work and school and sometimes its just too easy to grab a 7 point grilled cheese from Culver’s drive through.
Tonight, however, I completely avoided it! I chose a salad, veggie sushi, and a bottled water from Whole Foods instead. I am feeling a little bit cheated, because I can just imagine that delicious grilled cheese, but I am really proud that I resisted it. Me and Culver’s relationship was getting a little too cozy! We’re on a break for a while
Anyway, I have an obscene amount of homework tonight. I’m off to finish it!
