WEIGHT UP/DOWN THIS WEEK: -1.3POUNDS TO GO TO GOAL: 20.5 So it seems that working out and eating well pays off. 'Cause you didn't already know that, right? But what is it about me and my Sundays? I was on a weight-loss-get-fit tear. I ate well. I worked out 3 times (not including Yoga). I was down … [Read more...]
Deserving
I deserve it. That's what I said to myself yesterday: I deserve a treat. It was a really full, intense day. I worked, and then took a big outing to Costco to buy this for my daughters: Long story short: it came in 2 boxes, one of which weighed 198.41 pounds (yes, I checked). It took about 3 … [Read more...]
10 pounds…again.
Summer 2003 - Kath and I both looking a little plump... Summer 2007 - Fit and at my ideal weight. Feeling great. How many times do I have to do this to myself? I have been up and down with my weight my whole life. I've never been "obese" by definition but have gone up and down as much … [Read more...]
20 Pounds and Counting
WEIGHT UP/DOWN THIS WEEK: +1.8POUNDS TO GO TO GOAL: 21.8 There is, evidently, no justice in this world. I went back on Weight Watchers program last week, and now, one week later, I actually weigh more than I did when I started. Oh! And I went to the gym three times - two aerobic workouts and a … [Read more...]
Retrospective
Ahh...it's the time of the turning of the year. A time to look ahead, but also a time to take stock. I decided this time to take a look not just over the past year, but over my entire weight loss journey to date. Why? Well, to re-motivate myself during the cold winter months ahead...this journey … [Read more...]
The Next Thing on My List
I have just finished reading The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski which has forced me into a position I had fully sworn off in the last couple of years: Resolutions!!! Smolinski's novel is absolute chicklit with the heroine, June Parker, discovering herself while finishing a list for a … [Read more...]
Weight Loss Reality TV
Okay, I know I've said it before, but I love me some weight loss reality TV. My original love and still all-time fave is X-Weighted (catch it on Discovery Health Channel Canada). It's just sooo...Canadian. The formula is this: each episode focuses on a particular individual who wants/needs to … [Read more...]
VICTORY!
Whew! The *#$% Sacred Heart diet is OVAH! Yeah, baby! AND! I am 4.6 lbs down from my last Weight Watchers weigh-in (2 weeks ago). This morning I weighed in at 172, which is CRAP when you consider where I've been (158 at one point), but GREAT when you consider the problems I'd been having lately. So, … [Read more...]
Kill Me. Kill Me Now.
What was I THINKING??? What could I possibly have been thinking? Granted, yes, I have lost five pounds since I last weighed myself (2 days into this Sacred Heart Misery) so there is a definite rapid weight loss factor. There is also a very definite and pronounced MIND-LOSS factor! I told my husband … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Four
Wow. Who knew that doing a weirdo fad detox diet could put you off food entirely? Today's regime was bananas & skim milk. I was hungry to begin with, but amazingly enough, eating only bananas has a way of making you prefer hunger to eating. And I like bananas. Get this though: I'm at the airport … [Read more...]
