Today’s Monday weigh-in was a little disappointing, although yesterday’s wardrobe was uplifting — not even taking the new bra into account!
I gained a pound, according to the scale, so this week’s official number is 181. <sigh>
However, I wore my “college jeans” yesterday and not only was there no “muffin top” spilling out over [...]
I decided to try the McDonald’s bacon and cheese angus snack wrap tonight for dinner. Several months ago I had commented that with wanting to watch calories I could no longer afford to eat the 1/3 pound angus burgers — although I thought they were delicious!
As I drove by the McDonald’s on the way home [...]

On my dad’s side of the family there are seven cousins. My dad was one of three kids, and each of them had two, three and two kids respectively. My brother and sister posed with our other four cousins last year and again this year. I have blurred all their faces, because I didn’t really [...]

This week’s weigh-in results in nothing to report — well, except that the scale didn’t move. My weight fluctuated a little over the week, up and down, but the net result is the same as last Monday, 181.
I’m happy with that however! This past weekend was another road trip, this time for a family reunion. [...]

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 since these rings were [...]
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 168, [...]
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 enough [...]
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 technically should have [...]
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), [...]
