Alright. I’m back on track. I think.
I saw my doctor this week for my annual checkup and she endorsed my be healthy/get fit/lose weight plan. She was somewhat unenthusiastic about my goal to get down to 185, wanting me to focus more on the being healthy part and less so on the losing weight part. Maybe she doesn’t want me to set my expectations too high. After all, it has been QUITE a while since I was 185.
But that’s my goal and I’m stickin’ with it!
Onward and downward!
Well, as you can see from the above weigh-in, I’ve hit a roadblock of sorts. A month ago, I was 3.8 pounds and 2 weeks away from my end-of-month goal of 200. A month later, I have almost twice that to go. Hell, a couple of weeks ago, I had made it up to 210. Yikes! Read the rest of this entry »
The gym and I still have a long distance relationship, but I did manage to run outside once in the past two weeks. Two more weeks to 200!
And since I have nothing interesting to say, I’ll just post some pics…
Ah, what a difference seven days makes. A week ago, I hit my goal of 10 lbs in 2 months and let out a girly giggle when I stepped off the scale.

I won’t say how much. It doesn’t matter, since really, I could be thirty and feel seriously old (if only). It’s all about perspective. I have no interest in being thirty again—it was a particularly restive period in my life. And without maturity or life-experience, that younger me was not so much pretty, no. If only you could be thirty and have the wisdom of someone—ahem—at my age. It would be the perfect combination. Read the rest of this entry »
Things I added in the past week:
1 brownie
1 apple cinnamon muffin (which quickly followed the 1 brownie)
3 battered, fried cod fillets
several french fries
5 blueberry pancakes (with syrup)
1 dozen or so Ritz crackers smeared with peanut butter

This is not good. Not good at all. Hostess is filing for bankruptcy? Somebody say it ain’t so! The idea that my beloved Ho Hos might no longer tantalize me from store shelves is unnerving to say the least. What am I going to use to relapse? Little Debbie Swiss Rolls? Read the rest of this entry »
Not bad, eh? – 7 pounds in a month of numerous opportunities for all sorts of gluttonous behavior. I made it through with a new sense of purpose and moderation, but I don’t feel like I’ve changed much about my life. Read the rest of this entry »
