I really want to go for a hike today but it is currently -36C with the wind chill. That is no fun. I will see what happens by the afternoon, it might warm up a bit. In the meantime I will try to get some of these chores done.
Looks like the ticker is moving down, [...]

After three days of feeling murderous I am now on the upswing of the pendulum and am unbearably cheerful and funny. By tomorrow things should have settled down. Sigh.
I am proud of myself for staying away from all cookies, breads, chocolate, etc…errr, well, alright, I will cop to a handful of smarties and one square [...]

How many calories does a hot flash burn? There has to be some payoff with this…

Still cranky, but at least in a human way. Sigh. The atkins thing is feeling pretty good. One thing I have noticed on this, and I remember this from before: there is no such thing as the feeling “oh, I’m a little nibbly, I wonder what there is to eat.” I am either ravenous, or [...]

Horrible, unreasonable PMS. It just fell out of the sky and landed right on me. This deep and green ANNOYANCE is not coming from inside or because of anything that happened. It is like a heavy cloak weighing me down. I don’t have time for this. All I can do is hold my breath and [...]

Last night, I planned to get a morning run in - why do I do that? I know there is no way I am getting up one second earlier than I have to. I am just not a morning person. And to go out in -20C winter in the early morning dark? So not going [...]

Well. So far so good. I am going to jump the gun and say ‘Yes, Day 2 on track’. Exercise rest day, but good low-carb day.  Taking the dog out in a bit for a short walk cause it is -20C AGAIN and I just don’t want to be that cold tonight. I have turned [...]

Monday morning and the number is up again, but I am not freaking out at all. Thank you Eileen for reminding me that I have to do what makes me feel right/works for me, and that is low-carb. The last time I did atkins for about a year I lost weight and I felt great. [...]

I have to take the dog out for a run now or I am not going to have time until late in the day. I have a volunteer commitment that will take all afternoon, and I have to spend a couple of hours at work preparing my annual budget because I didn’t stay late Fri [...]

I am heading out for a snowshoe run this morning. I went to bed early (before 11pm!) and slept through most of the night - no nightmares, no dog emergency dragging me out from between the covers…I feel gr-r-r-r-r-eat!
I have been letting my imagination runaway with me on the TNB thing, and not in a [...]
