Another attempt at Weight Watchers

It seems there’s something wrong over at Blog to Lose, so I’m posting this here instead. Guess it’s nice to have a backup plan, eh? I’d planned to get up and work out so I could earn some extra APs for tonight’s book club meeting. Well, I must have been exhausted, because I didn’t get up [...]

Fighting cancer one step at a time …

I’m doing the American Cancer Society’s Climb to Conquer Cancer this August, and, for the first time this year, am trying to raise some cash for this great cause. In the past, the Daily Sun has had a team but unless no one told me, we haven’t done any fund-raising. It’s more than just a great [...]

Trying out new community …

Here’s the link to my blog (which has only the post I just made here …) http://www.blogtolose.com/profile/Arlene

Here’s a thought … or two or three

I think I’ve discovered one of my “trigger” foods: Cheez-Its. I bought a box of those 100-calorie pack Cheez-Its Friday because they looked good and I was craving something savory. I ate one — just one — last night, and another today. But I noticed that after eating them, I was kind of wanting something else [...]

It's not official, but ...

My scale reading at home this morning was 199.8! Woo hoo! What a pleasant surprise it was when I saw that number . I know it's not official unless it shows up next Monday. And my home scale DOES weigh me about a pound to 1 1/2 pounds lighter than the one at my meeting. Even so, I can now see how my hard work is (finally!) paying off — and that'll make it easier to stay OP for the next several days. I also took another set of measurements yesterday. There weren't too many changes, unfor… Continue

Lightbulb moment and a report

I'll start with the lightbulb moment: I was working tonight, totally stressed out and too busy to leave my desk. But since I didn't have anything with me to snack on, I didn't eat anything. Normally, when I go back to work after dinner, I take a few things with me to eat while I'm there. But tonight I didn't ... thus I didn't have any snacks. Is it really that easy? Surely not! But it did work tonight, so I'll be glad for that. As for my cutting back on carbs today, I failed miserably. I ente… Continue

Yesterday was good

With the exception of my not-so-great WI, Monday was a good day. I'm just getting around to posting about it because my Internet stopped working last night. Thank goodness it's back now. I did some more thinking yesterday, and realized I had a lot of sweet snacks. They may have been just 1 Point apiece, but I went through two boxes of Mrs. Freshley's (one box of 100-calorie chocolate cupcakes and a box of the 100-cal oatmeal cream pies). That probably did nothing to help my trip to One-derland.… Continue

At 10:17am on July 22nd, 2008, Candi said…: Hi Arlene! So good to hear from you, thanks for the comment and support. Im going into it this time slowly, I want to get back on track with eating right then Im going to add in exercise. Thanks again and it looks like you are doing great!!

At 12:35am on July 22nd, 2008, JillianBean said…: Thanks for the supportive words Arlene. I got back into the grove today, and am feeling so much better for doing so.

At 11:27am on July 19th, 2008, Kellie said…: Definitely read that book and let me know what ya think. I'm kind of a 'workbook' type of gal, although it's not really a workbook, it gives me something to work on as I go. Hope you're doing great!!! (I forgot to tell you I'm looking into buying a Zumba DVD to try.)

At 11:10am on July 17th, 2008, Deidre said…: Congrats on being halfway there! I noticed on your ticker you've lost 42.8 with 42.8 to go! That's awesome!!

At 11:03am on July 17th, 2008, Kerina said…: Thanks for the great info about the table generator. I am very excited to start it. I think it will help with being accountable. And thanks for all of the great comments that you give. You are a huge support for all of us :)

At 9:48am on July 17th, 2008, KLinsk said…: i know what you mean, .4 can be kinda of a bummer when you're expecting a bigger loss. my philosophy is expect the worst hope for the best.

GOOD LUCK! Maybe a big loss next week, who knows :-)

At 8:56pm on July 16th, 2008, JillianBean said…: I am definitely considering attending meetings again...I'll have to figure out what it costs up here before I make my final decision.
I like the yellow notebook paper...it seems less bright than some of the other themes. :)

At 12:15pm on July 16th, 2008, dd said…: Thanks for the comment, and the warm welcome to BTL.

Question: Why is it that guys love to watch their gals eat the ooey, gooey stuff? You would think they'd understand the consequences! lol

Anyhow, have a great day, and YES WE CAN do this thing (doing a little rip-off of Bob the Builder there...) : )
