I Can’t Believe It’s Been 3 Months Since Posting

Man, time goes by fast! It’s been nearly 3 months since I last posted. Weight loss has been slow, but I’ve stayed on plan. I now have 71.6 pounds off in 38 weeks. I have 20.8 pounds to go, to get to the top of my healthy weight range. I was, at first, going to [...]

The Great Weight Loss is BACK!

OK….why can’t we be patient with our bodies, and just wait it out when we don’t seem to be losing as quickly as we want? *sigh* I went to my Weight Watchers weigh-in last night (Wednesday) and lost 2.4 pounds this week, so I’m back to losing 2+ pounds like I have typically been doing since [...]

What’s going on with my great weight loss?

OK…it’s been a while since I blogged…mostly because nobody was reading it (except for spammers, and well, they weren’t really reading it either), so I got tired of doing it, and just quit. But now I need some help, and hopefully someone will give me some feedback. From the time I started Weight Watchers (August 8, 2007), [...]

Another Contest

Check out Roni’s new contest! I can win a Nutritional Smart Scale from Eat Smart and so can you! Click here for details! This past Wednesday night was my WW weigh-in. I lost 1.8 pounds, for a total of 54.2 pounds in 23 weeks. I have 38.2 pounds to go, to get to my WW goal [...]

Tea Party

My only granddaughter turned 3 years old yesterday and her Mommy had a Tea Party for her. As you know, I baked and decorated the “princess cake”. Along with the cake, there were cookies of all kinds, a plate of candy (I’ll bet it was candy that was given to my daughter-in-law for Christmas….you know, [...]

Eat Cake!!

OK….don’t eat cake…just bake and decorate it. My only granddaughter turns 3 tomorrow, so last night I baked a Cinderella cake, and tonight I decorated it. Sheesh! What a job! What a lotta icing! And I didn’t even lick my fingers. Her Mommy is having a Princess Tea Party for her. It’s an open house, where the [...]

Weigh-In Time!

Well, I had my Weight Watchers meeting last night, so I weighed in. I only lost 0.8 pounds!! That’s the SMALLEST amount I’ve ever lost in 22 weeks! And what’s weird is, I thought I was going to lose a lot last night, because for the last week, all my clothes are getting too big, [...]

Too much rain, a better snack & 2 neti pots

Yesterday, when I left work, I thought to myself, “now there’s no need to take my laptop home because I have Curves right after work, and a one hour pilates class after that. My truck is empty, so I have to get gas, so by the time I get home it will be nearly 8 [...]

Back to a normal week

We’re back to having a normal week…..which means working 5 days in a row, and working out 4 days in a row. In a way, I’m glad….but I miss having days off…besides weekends, I mean. Trouble is, there’s never enough time in my evenings to get everything done that I need to. I mean, here [...]

A Bed, Some Pork and a Karaoke Night

Man, I’ve been busy this weekend! First off, I had ordered a new Sleep Number bed from QVC on the weekend prior to Christmas, and it was delivered on Thursday. It wasn’t supposed to have been here until January 9th, according to QVC, but it came early. Thanks goodness I shopped last weekend for a [...]

The 2nd Half of My Vacation, a Holiday, and Still Lost Weight

Wow! I mean....WOW! I can hardly believe it. The 2nd half of my vacation was the hardest to stay on plan. Our family had a HUGE 4th of July get-together, which lasted the whole weekend. I did really well on the 4th, going only about 2 points over my daily allotment, but on Saturday the 5th, it started out with a big family brunch. There really wasn't anything there to eat, that was really WW friendly, or anything that I normally ate for breakfast for the last 11 months. So I tried to stick to th… Continue

On Vacation and Lost Weight

Well, I'm on vacation this week, and at WW weigh-in tonight, I lost 1.4 pounds. Hooorayyyy! Especially since last week I stayed the same. And.....I made it over the 80 pound hurdle......80.6 to be exact....with 11.8 pounds to lose to get to goal. Slow, but sure. I guess that's OK, but it sure will be nice when I make Lifetime and don't have to pay any more....especially with the cost of gas....and then there's food. Sheeeesh! Boy, this vacation stuff is wonderful. I didn't go anywhere....just h… Continue

A Bit Behind

Well, I haven't blogged for 2 weeks......it's been absolutely CRAZY at work! Today at 5pm, I am on a week's vacation. Yayyyyyyyyyyyy ME! I SO need a vacation! So about my weight......last Wednesday (6/18), I lost 0.8 and got down to 168.2, but this past Wednesday (6/25), I weighed exactly the same! How did I do that?? If I tried to remain the exact same weight, I'd never be able to do it. And even though I stayed on plan, it never ceases to amaze me how we immediately THINK WE DID SOMETHING WRO… Continue

Back in the 160's!!! Haven't been there since 1996

Oh man!!!! I had my WW weigh-in tonight and I weighed 169! I was SO excited, I rang the bell !! I only have 14 pounds to go, to get to my WW goal...and another 5 pounds after that to get to my personal goal! Boy, I was just sure that I wouldn't lose anything this week. I only lost 1.4, but I didn't expect to lose that much. I didn't feel any thinner. And I've been losing slow, but regularly for quite a few weeks in a row now. So I guess I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, as they say. I w… Continue

I have them here and there out front...they just keep coming back year after year no matter how dead they look in the winter!
