Does anyone else watch this Lifetime tv program? It’s about 5 friends who have decided to start working out & dieting together, with the help of a personal trainer & a therapist. I really like it. So far, it seems practical, motivational, insightful, & sweet.
It makes me think of my 3fCs “tribe”
Whenever I’m [...]

My appetite has been insatiable this week. I gave into it last night: I had a 10 piece McNugget meal with fries & a Coke.
I thought “if I feed that desire, then I will feel satiated & horrible enough to do something about it tomorrow”. Fact is, however, today, I’m craving cake. What is wrong [...]

All things being as they are, the holiday damage on my weight was not as bad as I feared. I currently weigh 215.2. In fact, I managed to lose 2 pounds — hardly something to praise, since I *could* have lost more if I tried, but …
I’m taking this as a sign that the work [...]

The holidays are kicking my butt! How about you? I’ve thrown diet & exercise into the snow, stomped on it, let the dog diddle there, & covered it under layers of sand & salt. Well, to be more accurate: sugar & fat. But, you get the idea. It’s been quite a pig-out fest at my house.
I [...]

Lately, when I’ve looked in the mirror, I have liked what I see. This has made it difficult for me to stick to my exercise & diet plans. And, although I think self-loathing is NEVER good! I do think it is helpful to remind ourselves that what our mind can tell us is “good enough” sometimes still [...]

It is incredible to think that, when I started this journey, I thought I knew what I needed to do. I thought I needed to reclaim my life, & what that meant was to weigh approximately 135 — even though what I *really* wanted to weigh was what I weighed in high school — even [...]

1. I have already lost a lot of weight (yay me!), but I still have several pounds to lose.
2. Just because I like how I look now (OMG, I have cheekbones!), I cannot rest on my laurels. I still have several pounds to lose.
3. Given how long it took me to put on all my [...]

So, the stress related with losing enough weight to get my trip to Paris was too much for me.
Thankfully, I made at least one good decision ten years ago, when I decided to marry my husband. He decided that, as a reward for all the hard work I’ve managed to do this year, he will [...]

Since my weight has been rather steady lately, I decided to try some new workout activities. I recorded a few new programs & have used them, to varying successes… FitTv has two shows I like: Gilad’s Bodies in Motion & All Star Workouts, which is an hour program of all sorts of cardio.
I also, this week, [...]

I have to get through the holiday season on a diet. As the weather turns colder, I want to eat more & snuggle under blankets in my comfy clothes; I don’t want to wear a thin layer of poly/spandex, climb into my cold car, deal with precipitation, & go to the gym! Wah!!!
Plus, I’m [...]
