More than an ounce, less than a ton

April 18, 2011

I had a  very good weigh-in on Saturday and finally reached that 100-lb milestone. Woo hoo! I can’t say if the good loss was due to eating fewer activity points. I didn’t completely abstain, which I guess isn’t abstinence at all. If one is practicing abstinence, one is not doing the thing from which they [...]

On the bright side

April 15, 2011

This week I’ve told three different people that I have no idea where I’d be right now if I hadn’t blown out my knee and lived with pain for two years.  One of the people was my supervisor. I had my review with her this week and after we were through talking about what we [...]

Whenever in blue jeans

April 13, 2011

A few days ago I whined about how I haven’t lost any weight in six weeks. I’ve been through the Weight Watchers program often enough and long enough to know that the exercise and eating right are paying off in spite of what the scale is saying.  But when you’re stuck on a plateau, it’s [...]

A working vacation

April 12, 2011

I have all next week off from work. I will have the house to myself and have only two things on my to-do list. Balance my checkbook Work on the new blog. When I say “new blog” that’s a bit of a misnomer since I’ll actually be importing all my old posts to the new [...]

There is a special place in hell for bathroom scales

April 11, 2011

I was very much hoping to post that I had lost the 1.8 pounds that would bring me that 100 pound milestone. Nope. I GAINED 1.8 pounds. Shit. So what went wrong? For one, I did not follow through on the Activity Points Abstinence Plan I laid out for myself last week.  I ate every [...]

Diet politics

April 8, 2011

A couple of weeks ago I overheard some women in my office discussing another co-worker’s weight loss.  They were gushing about her progress and how skinny she looked, and even though I didn’t know who they were talking about or which diet this newly skinny co-worker had been on, their discussion piqued my interest and [...]

Virtue is its own reward, or so I’m told

April 5, 2011

Ever since the physical therapist (a.k.a. Hot Yoda) gave me the go-ahead to get back on the elliptical last summer, I have managed to work out at least four days a week. My goal is five days a week, Sunday through Thursday with a two-day break for my knees before starting my five-day stint all [...]

The cookie whisperer

March 31, 2011

My last, panic-fueled post about losing control made a whole lot more sense a couple of days later when I started my period several days earlier than expected. My apologies to the fellas who may not want to or need to know this, but when a girl has her calendar nailed down and knows that [...]

Cocky

March 21, 2011

Saturday I weighed in and was very happy to record a 3.2-pound loss. I was actually blown away because not only did I indulge in half a piece of Cracker Barrel Coca Cola Chocolate Cake, I also ate half a chicken Parmesan sub and a generous portion of waffle fries at a local pizza joint Friday night. [...]

A dream to build a wish on

March 14, 2011

Last night I had an extremely vivid dream that I was pregnant again. In this dream I was at the very end of my pregnancy, just days away from another c-section and not at all prepared to bring a baby home. We had nothing for a baby since we gave away or sold everything once Autumn couldn’t [...]
