I Was Ready With Recriminations…

I think that’s the word I’m looking for to describe my birthday lunch yesterday. My middle daughter who treated me to lunch, did as she does to everyone in the family who’s birthday it is, talked me into Red Lobster for lunch. I should explain this a little.
When the kids were small we used to [...]

Checking In…

 About 3 lbs heavier this AM. I don’t really think it was Christmas as much as it was probably my Birthday yesterday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year, and happy Boxing Day to all my friends in Canada.  When I was up there it would be so odd if I had to [...]

I Am Moving And…

my house is getting cleaner! In one of my earlier posts, I had said about doing housework for exercise to kill two birds with one stone. I’m here to say that it works. It just takes a holiday and company coming to get me motivated! LOL. Really tho, I feel so much better. I have [...]

The Holiday Tips In My Inbox

I made a concious decision not to weigh in yesterday. I decided to clean house and get ready for the Christmas Tree instead. I didn’t decide not to weigh in for the usual reasons people don’t weigh in this time of year. It wasn’t from too much partying, to many holiday treats, etc. It was [...]

I Didn’t Disappear…

And neither have the pounds. I have been doing some research. I, for the first time wanted to know all I could on body changes thru peri- and post- menopause. I know most of you I communicate with are young enough you don’t feel you have to worry about this yet, but you should. I [...]

I Swear…Really

I weighed in yesterday, but it wasn’t good. Oh, I went down, but not much for as good as I’ve been.  I know a lot of it is lack of exercise, but I’m not eating anything like I used to, and, I was so good all last week. It’s so frustrating! I’m thinking our bodies [...]

I Really Do Love The…

Christmas season! Everything is so beautiful and fun. It’s a shame so many people forget just the basics. It’s still free to take the kids and go looking at the beautiful homes dressed in Christmas lights. (Well, not completely free with the cost of gas being what it is). It’s still a wonderful time for [...]

I’m Thinking About Jumping…

ship. I have been so good journalling that if I don’t make some progress this week, I may try kickstarting some weightloss with ‘Core’ instead of ‘flex’ points. One thing journalling has done for me. Since I’m being so honest, tracking every glass of wine at nite, I’ve cut down on my drinking. LOL. It’s [...]

Armed And Dangerous…

To fat! I have a points counter in my purse. I have one in the kitchen drawer where I cook. I have one at my desk. I added a journal to the kitchen drawer last night, I have a journal in my room, and I am adding one to my purse. I’m serious! I’m going [...]

It’s Cold. I Want Comfort…

 food! The weather is bleak and wet and cold. There is no sun and this these are the kind of days that bring on SAD (Seasonal Affect Disorder). The skies are dark so it feels much later than it is. This causes my body to feel like it’s time to go to bed. I want [...]
