The Gooch Lives… what now?

In one of my favorite movies, “Auntie Mame”, the lead character frustratingly tells her dowdy secretary, Agnes Gooch, to break free from her constricted wallflower role & to “live! live!”. After a night of drunken debauchery, the secretary returns home utterly frazzled. She pulls up her dress & climbs the stairs to Auntie Mame’s bedchambers to seek [...]

I don’t usually talk about my sisters or mom & dad. I think about them, & probably talk about them, more than I see or talk to them. We don’t live near each other. The closest person to me, geographically, is my sister (both my sisters are younger than me); & she lives several large [...]

See Me

Sometime during the past week or so, I ran out of clean clothes. Which isn’t to say I ran around town naked; I just had to reach into the depths of my closet to find ANYTHING I could wear in public without either getting cited for indecency or assumed to be an escapee from an insane asylum.
I absolutely [...]

Total transformation

On the road to gaining my weight, I rarely wore makeup or did anything to my hair.
At some point, at my largest weight, I started to wear my hair my plaits, twisted around my head like a little Dutch girl. I thought it was a cute look. It was also easy.
After losing some weight, I [...]

Devil inside

One thing I’ve noticed about myself is that I’m very competitive… sorta. I’m not one of those people who feels better about myself if someone else has gained weight or fails to achieve something they wanted. I think stuff like that is really mean & pointless. The way in which I’m competitive is that if [...]

One more week to go…

Then this quarter will be over & I have a date with a skate! Well, two skates to be precise
My exercise partner has been M.I.A. these past two weeks. She returns in one week & we’re to begin rollerskating every Friday for about an hour or so. Hopefully we can stay on the [...]

I’m alive!

Still going strong, but SUPER BUSY! Want to just drop in to wish all well, & let everyone know how much I appreciate the positive feedback from my latest posts. I’m very inspired to keep going. Just gotta make it through finals! Whew! A ferocious person’s work is never done!

Back on the horse (again… no, really!)

The sun is out & I’ve got a little spring in my step! It feels like it is time again to get back to losing weight & feeling GREAT
I’m not going to weigh myself today (kinda the wrong time to do so, in my experience). But, today IS the first day of the rest of [...]

What’s my problem?!?!

Nothing new to report. I’m holding down the fort with butter & cheese. No, not really ;-) I have been very hungry lately, though, I think because I’m tired. I get really hungry when I’m tired. So, I’m mostly ignoring my desires to eat constantly. 
As for exercise, I barely have time to do anything structured. I’m [...]

Sorry for the delay

It seems life is a little more chaotic lately than I anticipated. So many new things are happening & so many old friends have been popping up ~~ & they all take so much time to deal with properly!
I’ve been staying active. Mostly walking. I go on exercise walks each Friday with a friend. And, I [...]
