This has been a long week. My sister is torturing me with endless chattering about planning for her trip to the Carribbean in a couple of weeks…I can’t go, I’m broke and have major work project deadlines at the time of the trip. So I am left tired, bloated, pale and envious. Ah me.

Got to dress up and wear the new skirt on Sat night. Loverboy of course was no help during the predicted pre-event wardrobe mini-crisis…poor guy was rendered speechless when asked for advice on which outfit hid the tummy rolls…he just wanted to dive for cover! It was a military event so he got to wear [...]

Last night I put on the really strong control top pantyhose and tried on all the clothes in the ‘too tight’ bin. Whoohoo! Squeezed into two pair of jeans, two pairs of dress pants and a skirt. Not quite ready to wear them in public yet but I can get them on and even do [...]

Sleepy Sunday. I am finding that the more attention I pay to eating a varied diet with lots of veggies, the better I feel. (Like that should be a surprise). Last night I took my son out for his birthday dinner. We went to a nice pasta and steakhouse place, and had a full dinner [...]

I am back to struggling to understand why there seems to be no connection between the scale, my measurements, calorie intake and exercise. This week I did less than half my usual exercise routine and have lost 2 pounds. I am about 6-8 pounds less than I was at the beginning of the summer, yet [...]

Friday afternoon. Yay! I am not going to Loverboy’s cabin this weekend. I am staying home to clean up my yard, plant tulips and do laundry, but mostly to SLEEP. What a week. I just don’t think I can physically face the drive.
At least I have managed to keep walking every night, even if only [...]

Hey, I bought a new juicer. There it sits in all its shiny glory, the highlight of my kitchen. I don’t know if I can bring myself to use it and destroy its overwhelming ‘newness’ aura.
I figured out that the track at the high school must be a 1/4 mile, based on how fast I [...]

Went back to the local high school track last night and ran. Ok, for probably only about 5 minutes total. Walked for 40. But still, I ran! I am such a klutz that that in itself is a small victory. I can only do it in the dark, I don’t even want to think about [...]
