A Quick Saturday Check-in

Weight: 172.0
I just have a minute.
Furry Vengeance was HILARIOUS!!! Definitely a kids’ movie adults can appreciate! Many many laughs NOT in the trailer, some of the funniest scenes come out of nowhere! And the dancing montage during the closing credits will have you crying, they’re so funny!!!
I would like to make a big huge point [...]

Furry Vengeance Friday

Weight: 172.2
My honeybun’s new movie opens today. Everyone go see it!!
The cupcakes are nearly gone and should be but a distant buttercream memory by the time I get home from work today. Though I do feel like I’ve maybe crossed the line into child abuse by letting them eat those things!
As for me, I worked [...]

Oh Em Geee!!!!

Well girls, I had a great birthday. Just got back from the cruise to Cabo. Had a fabulous time! How fabulous?
Weight: 178.4
Yeah, WOW! I haven’t seen a number that high since 2007! OUCH!!!!
However, FORTY is here and I’m embracing it.
Forty is going to be AWESOME!
(My new med seems to be working!!)
I got up, did my [...]

Epic Disaster

Weight: ignorance is bliss, also after yesterday I probably exceed my scale’s maximum weight capacity. Boo!
Let’s just say by yesterday afternoon things took a major downward turn. Involved were malted milk balls aka Whoppers, cheap-ass Cheez-It’s imitation crackers from the $ store (whole box), a small plate of french fries and a pint [...]

Re-committed

Weight: 168.6
Ah, I feel like I should totally be committed!!
I didn’t exercise this morning. I had the WORST night’s sleep. I tossed and turned, could NOT get comfortable. Had totally bizarre dreams when I did nod off. Woke up EXHAUSTED. Total suckfest!!
However, I am sipped hot Irish breakfast tea this morning. I did not use [...]

Cabo Wabo, Baby!!

Weight: 161.2
I did my 45 on the elliptical this morning. But boy oh boy, did I struggle! I was SO tired I could barely get my body to move. I had to play the mental game of “just 5 more minutes” to get from 30 to 45 minutes. Then I did plank, squats, crunches and [...]

Not as bad as I thought OR Back on track-ish

Weight: 167.8 (seriously shocked not to be in the 170s!)
I GOT UP AND DID 45 MINUTES ON THE ELLIPTICAL THIS MORNING. I am like a God, I know!
I also did 20 seconds of Plank, which sort of sucks, but hey it’s my first day “bacK” and Jillian is no where to be found just yet. [...]

Problem of Junior proportions!

Weight: 165.2
Breakfast: jack in the box hearty breakfast bowl without the hashbrowns. I ORDERED the denver bowl (comes with ham instead of sausage) and they screwed up and of course, I don’t find this out til I’m at my desk at work. Too late. CRAP! But at least they left out the hashbrowns, which I’d [...]

Accomplishment feels SO GOOD!

Weight: prerun - 164.2; postrun-163.6 (hmm… I think I’m taking the second one!)
So I RAN TODAY!!! You can read more about it HERE. I did NOT want to go this morning. I kept making excuses for myself to not go. I was tired. It’s cold outside. It’s trash-day. I need to be to work early. [...]

So the deal is this…

I have Celiac’s disease. I’m allergic to gluten.
This sucks. I want my cookies!!
I know that’s hypocritical since my son’s been on a gluten-free diet for over two years now.
And now, I know where he got the gluten-intolerance from.
Me.
Dammit.
