In years past, I remember “putting away” (in my stomach) so much Halloween candy that I would not seem to tire of it. Still way too much, this year I limited myself to:
three mini bite-site Hershey bars
one bite-size 100 Grand bar
one mini package of plain M&M’s
two rolls of Smarties
one Reese’s peanut butter cup
I had [...]
Well, I did it! I lost 30 pounds. I was so happy to see 238 on the scale this morning. I checked several times (inconsistent scale, I have!) and it never said more than 238. In fact, it once said 237, but only once in the four times I checked, so I am not going [...]
Last night I added in some intervals of jogging with my regular walking. I guess I shouldn’t say regular… I have only been working steadily on the treadmill for less than a week. But, after a short warmup last night, I’d alternate walking and jogging, to the point where I had included a [...]

Does anyone have one of those scales that play tricks on you? With mine, I can step on it and see 238 (which is the number I’m really looking forward to because it means another 10% gone and I can update my progress photos page) then step off, then step on again to see [...]
I used the treadmill yesterday, and spent a half hour at a moderate pace, getting reaccustomed to the moving belt. I did well, though my feet got tired. I made the mistake of walking in just socks and the arch in my foot was a bit achy later in the day.
There is a [...]

We tried the multi-grain [...]

I am doing well with food, more or less, but I really need to commit to getting more exercise. The weight is coming off at an acceptable pace, so I really can’t complain too loudly. But, think of how much better I would be doing if I made the time to exercise!
Today, my [...]
Weighing in at 239 this morning, I’m saying goodbye to the 240s!

I am out of town on a road trip, giving seminars to adoptive parents about the need to create lifebooks for their children. I love doing these presentations and love how rewarding the work is.
But, being on the road means snacking to stay awake while driving a long distance and eating out at restaurants. [...]
I got them up over my hips but they’re far from able to be zipped. Perhaps about 15 pounds would be all that it would take to get them zipped, 20 pounds to make them comfortable. They are a size 20, but I’m comfortably in a size 22 now. They must have [...]
