Bombed the Interview, Stayed Off the Diet, and No Wifi at Home

This was a weird week, huh? So my interview did NOT go well. They used a rather intimidating interview style with 6 people on one side of the room and me on the other and while I wasn’t really intimidated by that, I blanked out on the management question in a really obvious way [...]

I miss the DVR…

So, I’m in Norfolk, Va awaiting an interview and I keep having to remind myself not to rewind shows. No DVR I also went completely off Atkins today and yesterday. My sayonara dinner was fajitas at Cinco de Mayo and while delicioso, it was carby. And I skipped breakfast and was ravenous at lunch [...]

Weight Watchers Inspiration Lasted a Day

So I was sewing a dress yesterday from a pattern I’ve used before and that fit me fine then and I could barely get the dress on yesterday. I do not want to take a chance with Weight Watchers when I know that Atkins works for me and that I like Atkins and just have [...]

Weight Watchers?

So my sister,’s tried it (M)and it was good for her for awhile before she stopped it.  I also hate their commercials and have yet to hear anything really complimentary about the company who runs it. I know they have to protect their product, but I get he impression of heavy-handedness from them.   Anyway, so [...]
