After one week on the weight watcher plan, I have lost 4 pounds! I was shocked. So shocked, in fact, that I stepped on the scale twice because I thought surely I had misread it.  Yay!
One thing that has been really helpful is the food journal. It’s hard to argue with yourself about whether or [...]

Good morning, my friends. I hope everyone had a great weekend. The title of this post came from a battle I’ve been having with myself this weekend. I received my new WW books and calculator and I’ve been going back and forth with myself about whether or not I’m really ready to finally do this [...]

This will probably be a long one so go grab a cup of joe or hot tea and get comfortable. If confession is good for the soul, then I should feel pretty darn good when I get done writing this one!!
First, I’m into my second week of “real” exercise. You know, actually doing it [...]

We are having some wonderful sunshine here in the Commonwealth of KY! I am glad to see it, too. We had a great weekend with a very special five year old (more about that later; say sometime in May/June).  From 3:30 p.m. Friday to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, we spent a total of 5 1/2  hours [...]

Don’t you love it when you get those unexpected breakthroughs? That’s where I’ve been this week and it’s been great! Through many different means, I’ve come to realize a lot about myself and the reason I’m not breaking this weight issue. But, arming myself with my new breakthroughs, I will finally and completely have success. I [...]

Well, it’s a good start: down 7 pounds since I started on 01/04/2011. Yay! Got a long way to go but it’s a good start. That’s it for now; on our way to Bowling Green to shop for furniture. Have a great day.

Weighed in this morning; down 1.4 pounds. YAY. And that’s with only three days of exercise and-quite honestly-not much change in my eating habits. If I can do at least that every week for the next 11 weeks (the duration of our contest at work) I will lose 16.8 pounds/6.3% of my beginning weight! Being a loser [...]

My daughter is 19 years old and still lives with us. We have discovered something, a major deal, that she is doing that we need to confront her about. True, she’s 19 and technically can do whatever she wants. However, she is still living wih us and we are paying her insurance, auto and medical, [...]

Yep, it’s that time of year; new year’s resolution. Actually, my decision started before the new year but it’s close enough to count.
I have been absent from blogging here since 02/2010. I’ve decided to come back and start over. Starting over with a clean slate; no re-hashing of the yo-yo exericse and diet plan that [...]

Well, it’s time to stop being the lone ranger and go see my doctor. I have started back exercising and doing WW points but I am having the worst time controlling my snacking! I’ve tried an all natural appetite suppressant which works but only if I remember to take it, which I don’t b/c you [...]
