You may have noticed that I didn't post last week.  That's usually a sign that things have gone well and I'm in avoidance mode. Or the end of last week may have just been incredibly busy and I got swamped. Last week's weight was essentially the same as the week before.  I refuse to get... Continue Reading →

Some days you're just an idiot. I have been dragging my feet about posting this week.  The reason was simple.  I was positive that I'd had a very bad week.  I tend to not want to talk about bad weeks.  To be honest, I don't even want to think about them. There's just too many... Continue Reading →

I was all set to be really upset this weekend. Did not see what I wanted to see when the scale gave me the numbers. After two good weeks, a step back. Then I remembered.  Super Bowl AND my birthday in the same week. Suddenly the number wasn't so terrible.  It isn't good but I... Continue Reading →

Does two weeks qualify as a streak? Second week with positive movement.   Which means it's time for my biggest enemy to make his appearance. The Inner Critic. It's that internal voice that delights in telling me that I'm going to fail.  That I'm not good enough, not smart enough, not talented enough, not good-looking... Continue Reading →

Yeah, I'm late. I simply did not want to step on the scale. Two bad numbers in a row.  I made a single conscious change this week.  I had no idea if it had helped.  At that point the negative thinking took over.  It won't work.  I'll never lose this weight again.  You'll never be...

Bleah. Not a good week, not a good number Exercise is the issue clearly.  I haven't done any. I'm also wondering why this has been so much more of a struggle than before.  When I hit 30 my metabolism clearly slowed down.  I'm wondering if I'm facing the same issue again. Under any circumstances, this... Continue Reading →

Well, at least the news wasn't bad. A bit of a mess, very little exercise, not great eating. Which resulted in an effective zero change. Like I said, it could be worse.  Next week will be better. Do want to share something that has been very useful.  This is something I learned from the "South... Continue Reading →

  All right, back at it. I'm not going to spend a lot of itme on the first weigh of the year.  Let's say that I made it through the holidays within the parameters I wanted.  My last weight was around 203 and I did all the holidays with only a two pound change.  I... Continue Reading →

When things don't go well you have two choices.  To quit or to begin again.  If you choose to begin again then there has to be a starting point.  Today is that.  I refuse to worry about watching every calorie during the holidays.  It's a time to celebrate and enjoy whatever there is to enjoy...

If you follow the sad tale of my weight loss you will have noticed that I haven't posted in a while.  Part of that is just reality.  I don't worry a great deal about sticking to a tight plan this time of year.  It's almost impossible and largely makes life unpleasant.  While the last week...
