Okay… going down…
Yes, my snarky friends... I have hit 185 (which would be ideal if I were 6' 1"... but I digress). The good news is that I did it with better…
The Gym Blues…
Okay, so what I've left out lately is how I *completely* fell off the wagon after such an excellent start with my weight loss this year. My last post about my weight was…
Week 1 with my FitBit
WEEK 1 with my FitBit = Time for the BIG GUNS. Warning... if you are OCD, you'll want to stay away from this particular device! I've been crazy enough to…
A friend in need…
A friend in need... is a pain in the a@%... that is a quote from a friend of mine, not my opinion, LOL... but I am a friend in need…
On the wagon, off the wagon… who’s counting?
So, you mostly missed the part where I got back on the wagon (last post) and then fell off (until yesterday). I ended up losing 9 lbs. between November 15th…
Don’t faint… but I’m back on the wagon…
I've been waiting for a lightbulb to go off... a fire to start and something to motivate me to lose this weight (and not just put the covers over my…
Ooops… did I forget?
I can't believe that I haven't posted since March. Oh well. I can't seem to commit to a diet and am way too tired to exercise. I absolutely hate the…
Back on the wagon
Not too long after my last post, I came to a few realizations. The biggest was that I was wandering around in a fog and not really taking care of…
Got to get back on the wagon…

I’ve been bad…
Okay, hit the magic 15 lbs. lost and then went on the cruise late May and proceeded to not exercise all summer. The good news is that when (note the…
You don’t scare me Mr. Easter Bunny
He's watching me, you know. And he knows that I know that he's watching me. And there are two of them--but the worse one is CONVENIENTLY open and 1/3 eaten. …
Okay, I’m holding steady…
Since my last posting, I have lost only one more pound and I think that I have to either step up my exercise or cut back further with my dieting. …
Woo hoo! Finally results!
Yesterday, April 9th, was 1 month from the beginning of my new diet/life change. I am down 7 lbs. and 1/2 inch off of my waistline.
