I went to two different jewelers in town yesterday for estimates and ideas. I live far enough out in the suburbs where it would be a drive to larger chain jewelry stores but our town is affluent enough to have a couple of options locally. It has been almost 20 years [...]

I have been putting it off and putting it off, trying to wait until all of my weight is lost, but I’m becoming extremely fearful that I will lose my rings. My wedding band is (I’m guessing) about four sizes too big and the engagement ring (not soldered) has a rubber spacer on the [...]

Another three pounds are gone, and today’s weekly weigh-in showed me at 182. I made lots of sensible food choices and logged all of my intake diligently, so my weigh-in is a logical reflection of my eating.
I only worked out once this past week, and I would really like to be doing more, [...]

Katie asked me recently what my goal weight was. She asked nearly a week ago and I have found it so difficult to find the time to respond, although I’ve really given it quite a bit of thought!
If you were to look on the blog header, you think that my GW (goal weight) is [...]

I was out of town again this past weekend. I was doing an outdoor show in Indianapolis. It was HOT. I think this was good for me, as all the sweating and lugging equipment helped me use more calories than I needed apparently. After last month’s road trip resulted in 11 [...]

I was reviewing my list of tag words and was happy to see that I haven’t used these words in a long time:

plateau
boredom
plus-size
rut

I haven’t used them because I haven’t felt them! Many people I come across are bored with their exercise routine or feel frustrated that they (think they) are eating right and exercising [...]

While working with the Wii Fit Plus, I took the full Body Test, which measures weight, calculates BMI, determines center of balance, and issues little “tests” that along with your actual age helps determine your “Wii Fit Age”. So, as a 40 year old woman, I was delighted to see that the computer thinks [...]

This week’s weigh-in has me at 187, down one pound from last week. I’ll take it! I was pretty diligent with food, not going over my daily calorie goal (of 1350, which is what livestrong.com says I should consume to lose two pounds per week) any day of the week! Of course, [...]

I thought it would be interesting to share my calorie intake for last week, per day, and include what three items each day represented the highest portion of those calories.
Monday, June 28 — 11o0 calories
Macaroni and cheese (195), Cinnamon Life (120) , S’Mores (130)
Tuesday, June 29 — 1296 calories
Mandarin Orange Cake (287), Tuna Patty (217), [...]

After last month’s crazy ups and downs, I settled in with a really nice week last week. Last week’s Monday weigh in showed 191 on the scale, and this morning I weighed 188. I had seen 187 momentarily but it didn’t stay for long. Oh well, as Katie says, if the scale [...]
