I’m going to elaborate a little on something that I said in yesterday’s blob. Here’s the quote:
“I feel like I’ve turned a corner; like the ignition has been turned and I’m moving forward. ”
The topic for the sermon at church yesterday was “Christ is enough”. It fell right in line with the Wednesday  night study [...]

This weekend has just been fabulous in every way. I’ve done well with exercise and eating. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical yesterday and 30 in the circuit room. It felt good. We had a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for my brother and his wife, which totally blew them away. They had no [...]

Calorie counting is the name.  It looks like calorie counting has won as the method of weight loss at my house. I’m okay with that: I just wanted a unified front so we can all help keep each other accountable. I found a great place to count calories. countcalories.about.com It’s great. You punch in your [...]

Someone left a comment and asked if the junk I devoured Tuesday/Wednesday was in my house. Well, she said it a little nicer than that but same question.  :)  The answer to that is that the donuts and chips were at work in the kitchen; general public area and up for grabs. The cookie dough, [...]

Okay, confession time: I hit a major pot hole yesterday/today with being healthy. I’m talking crater sized pot hole that included cookie dough, chips and donuts. Jiminy.

Well, I did drag my sorry butt out of bed this morning and hit the Y. Yeah. I did 30 minutes in the circuit room. I feel good. It had been so long since I’ve gone I’d forgotten how it helps get your day off to a good start.
I posted my new health [...]

Holy mackerel, Batman. I got the sledgehammer put down on me today. I went to the doctor for a bump on my neck, right behind my ear, and got more than I bargained for. The bump was just an infection for which he gave me two antibiotics to take. But he took my blood pressure [...]

http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/thebell said something very interesting in her blog the other day. Here it is:

Okay, imagine the best Valerie impression from “Princess Bride” voice. :)  I’m sitting here at work, on break, feeling like a total liar and hypocrite. I just went onto a new web blog and left a comment encouraging them and telling them they can do it and not to give up…. you get the picture; when [...]
