Yesterday, I ran in my very first 5K - the San Francisco Mission Rock Run. Running a 5K has been a goal of mine for years. One of those things I was always going to do, but never got around to even training for. Well, this year I was going to do it. Period. Yes, [...]

Well, not really. In fact, I’ve probably hit the hardest part of my journey. But it feels like I’ve been climbing this mountain and 150 was the peak. I could NOT seem to get there. I got down to 150.8 back in April - and that was as close as I got. Then I slowly [...]

That is exactly how I feel. Like I just want to eat and eat and eat. I’m not sure if I’m really hungry or not. I kinda feel hungry. Definitely not starving. And low energy. I feel like just curling up into a warm ball and sleeping. Right now. At my desk, well under it.
I [...]

152.6 this morning. I was down to 151.8 last week, so I’m almost back there again. Yay!
I got home from work last night and my daughter had made several big batches of cookies to give to friends for Christmas. And of course, there was a bowl of “leftover” out on the table for family. Not [...]

December is literally racing by me. I can’t believe Christmas is less than two weeks away. And I still have most of my Christmas shopping left to do. Unfortunately, the water bill is past due and unless I pay it Monday, it’s going to be a dry Christmas. And not in deference to Prohibition or [...]

I want to snack. There, I said it. SNACK - like on crackers and chips and… crackers. I even let myself have a small handful earlier, hoping that would satisfy it. But it didn’t, because the urge, the NEED, to snack has nothing to do with hunger. Sick child=snack. Problems at work=snack. Sick child + [...]
