Just wanted to make a quick post to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
After one week of test driving the new diette (hopefully this will avoid spam!) I have lost 1 pound. Not bad considering I have not really fully followed it. Tonight was no exception. We had a lovely New Year’s Eve Dinner (DH [...]

Yes, I forgot to name my post last night. You definitely know you’re sleep deprived when that happens!
I was too tired to workout today! On a brighter note, I did not gain any weight after last night’s dinner extravaganza!
OK, I am off to register at the dept store.
Take care!

Thanks for all of the positive feedback on my 1/2 pounds loss. One small step for mankind….
I actually did reasonably well today, all things considered. This morning I spent 40 minutes on the treadmill - ok, I am not running, just walking - but it was still 40 minutes. And then I did the legs [...]

First of all, thanks for all of the support. Aside from the abundance of SPAM, I am getting wonderful support and suggestions from you all. Much appreciated.
Today was a somewhat “what the heck” day. I did have some bagels (yes some…three small bagels with nothing on them still hot from the bakery. I couldn’t resist) [...]

I saw that heading posted on an advert for quitting smoking and thought it was appropriate for weightloss too. As I ventured around town today I felt the beckoning call of Saint Cinnamon, Smoothies and other assorted “ok in moderation” foods. I was quite proud of myself for buying an apple instead of a smoothie, [...]

Well, day 1 of the test drive had its peaks and valleys. I did work out on the recumbent bike for 30 minutes, followed by about 15 solid minutes of weight training. As I have been weight training since the 1980s it is more of a ‘reminder’ to the muscles than a ‘building’ of the [...]

OK, I know it is the holidays and yadda yadda yadda. But I am going to try to test drive my new “plan” starting tomorrow. I have been reading about bridal bootcamp, Oprah’s bootcamp and bootcamp in general. The mind is willing, but the timing sucks. There is no way I can work out 6 [...]

Thanks everyone for your good wishes regarding Mom. I know it is a busy time for everyone so it was especially nice of you to send notes, and prayers our way. Mom actually got to come home today. Naturally she is overdoing it - in her room calling EVERYONE. (if you hear a ring, it [...]

I was pondering today, as I often do. Today’s topic of pondering was Why is it when we are under stress, our bodies crave “bad” foods and not healthy foods? I would think that if you are under stress your body would want you to eat healthy foods to keep you in peak shape. Wouldn’t [...]

Just wanted to update you all on Mom. She is in an isolation room, on oxygen. Her dx is pneumonia exacerbated by her COPD. She is very chipper and the added oxygen has given her the fuel necessary to point out shortcomings in our health system to any staff who dare venture into her room! [...]
