Sometimes life just isn't fair. Like trying to keep your weight under control at the holidays.  Even worse is when you are at the very start of the process, so it's not ingrained behavior yet. Sigh. I will be fine.  I just have to remember that while I can relax a little, I can't go... Continue Reading →

  Well, isn't that interesting? This past week was one where I struggled a little with my feelings about unemployment.  Between the weather and my schedule, my workout routine fell short (this is the first week in a while that will definitely fall short of 150 minutes).  I'm trying my hand at NaNoWriMo (National Novel...

  Not the week I wanted.  In any sense of the phrase.   The week began with me losing my job.  More on that tomorrow.  But talk about not being in the emotional place I want to be to build on last week.     In the end, I'm actually pretty happy with how I... Continue Reading →

  Oh yeah! You thought the Cubs had a good week?  They got nothing on this boy. LOL. It was just a matter of not giving up.  I didn't even have a particularly good week.  I fell well short of 150 minutes, which disappointed me a lot.  But I keep looking for times and ways... Continue Reading →

This was the week I've been waiting for.  The one where everything decides to get in my way.  So I went into my weigh-in a little worried.

Because I've been doing well with both the eating and the exercise, I've been waiting for a sabotage week.  With the milestone weight within reach, this is usually where I mess up.  So I tried to be extra vigilant.  And it paid off. Of course, that just... Continue Reading →

I moved down a size in jeans. That does not mean I fit into my goal jeans yet (I refuse to call them "skinny jeans" because men my age shouldn't even think about that  awful fashion style.  In fact, no one should), but I am comfortably into the next size down. And isn't that always... Continue Reading →

So the new regime has been in place for a week. I'm happy to report that there are no ill effects from the new drug I'm on.  So one less thing to worry about. Tracking my food used to be my least favorite thing in the world.  It was a pain in the ass.  But... Continue Reading →

  These posts have been gone for a while. There have been a lot of things going on in my life and there are still some things that are unresolved.  I will do my best to deal with them as they come, but first let's deal with the reality on this particular topic. Earlier this... Continue Reading →
