Weekly Weigh-in

I HATE HATE HATE the scale…after all that walking I was up 1.5 pounds!!  Argh.  Maybe It was weighing my stress level instead…right before I set off for my TOPs meeting, my car wouldn’t start…(it’s in the shop today for a new starter at a cost of about $450.  Argh!!

Fall’s Really Here - first frost

What a change.  Had to wear a coat to work this morning Brrrr.  Fall used to be my favorite season, but lately I like Spring.   Fall reminds me too much of the end of things, death etc.  Maybe I’m just thinking a lot about death as I just read the book for our next library [...]

Fall Inspirations

Got out with my camera on Sunday.  Lovely 75 degree weather, blue blue skies - just unbelievable for end of October in upstate NY.  I liked the way these leaves fell on the wet grass.
The weekend was again a challenge eating-wise.  Went to a TOPs Fall Rally (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and they served a [...]

Stormy Weather

It’s very dramatic outside this morning.  Looks like we’re in for some rockin’ storms.  Life too has been rocky this week.  My daughter and husband are clashing like thunder clouds and I must choose to mediate or not.  Yesterday when arguments left both of them angry and frustrated I chose to go and take a [...]

Trying Tuesday

Well…the weekend was a blast (now there’s an expression from the past).  I acted like a teenager on a field trip…drank some wine, ate lots of snacks, cheeses, crackers…and just enjoyed being with friends. The weather was great…cool with dramatic fall clouds, and the winery overlooked Keuka Lake in all its beauty.  We were 2 [...]

Long Friday Morning

Geeze - the clock just isn’t moving this morning.  I’m at work and have lots of small tasks to catch up on, but everytime I check my watch it’s still earlier than I expect.  Maybe ’cause I’m so looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday.  My mom was always telling me my favorite saying growing up [...]

Weekly weigh in results

I lost…0.6 pounds, but it’s enough to put me down a pound on my tracker.  I’m halfway to goal!!!!

Weekend to Myself

I loved it.  Friday night I relaxed, (maybe a little too much) with a couple of drinks, read my book, watched a movie and “Friday Night Lights”, and then made a vegie pizza.  Unfortunatly I was so relaxed from the drinks that I ate the whole pizza, thus going over my WW points for the [...]

All Better

Amazing what one day of rest will do.  Woke up this morning feeling just fine.  I was all prepared last night to call in sick for today, but felt so normal this morning that I just couldn’t do it.  Still AB_SO_LUTE_LY beautiful here.  In the 80s and sunny - and they predict it will be [...]

Sick today

I was up at 5 am with an upset stomach.  Went in to work for an 8 am meeting and then tried to stick it out, but felt lousy.  When I got home I slept for like 5 hours straight.  I really don’t know what hit me!  I’m skipping choir tonight and will probably sleep [...]
