Just keep going... just keep going....

I am horrible at coming up with blog titles. Really bad. Oh well, you still love me. So let's start with my weekly update, which is kind of a bummer. Just as I thought, that 3lb loss was probably a fluke and I am up 2 pounds from that. So to make myself feel better I am ignoring the 3lb loss and instead thinking of it as me losing 1 lb ;) My food intake has been "meh" but I been on a roll with...

Derailed...again!

Well this turned out to be a life altering week. And not in a good way. I was once again derailed by life. I had a death in my husbands family this week, and it has been devastating to him and his family. Needless to say, we found out last Tuesday and I proceeded to vegetate on the couch with him for 5 days. I didn't worry about food too much, mostly because I think we just didn't really eat a lot.I...

AMR/BMR/WTF?

Christmas in May? You're welcome! I'm truly scraping the bottom of the "food lyrics" barrel....Anyway......so I gained 1.7lbs this week. Might as well get that out of the way up front, right? I haven't been eating any of the things in that song....but when I look at my food log, it is full of things that probably aren't so hot. AND, I went over my calories 3 or 4 days last week.....but, I also worked...

Day 86: SuperWoman I Am Not!

Good evening: This post is super-duper late. It is after 12:00 AM on Tuesday morning and this is the first time I sat down since I got home from work at 5:30 PM. Work has been kicking my butt, my car was in the shop, my library books were two weeks overdue, and my daughter told me at almost 8:00 PM that I needed to check her school's web page. I'm supposed to check her teacher's web-page once a week,...

Celebrate!

Sorry everyone! This was supposed to post yesterday. I was out of touch and had no idea it didn't publish as scheduled. -DaraThat is what I am doing today! Celebrating. I am celebrating my 2lb loss since last Tuesday. I am also celebrating the total 4lb loss over the last few weeks. (See my ticker! It moved!)So, obviously eating as a form of celebration is out. What's a girl to do? Well, for me. I...

Can't Touch This

As if you didn't know what was coming. Even though I was home sick, I still got my cardio in for the day. Thought maybe I should share some with you!Okay, now that we got that out of the way..... I don't have much in the way news to report this week. I stayed home sick today and completely forgot to weigh in before stuffing my face. So, just for the sake of consistency, maybe tomorrow morning....

Nothing to Report - part 2

I'm still sick...getting better however as meds are kicking in but also knocking me out for most of the day. Only today was I able to spend the whole day on the couch instead of in bed. I haven't weighed in a while but I know I've lost because I am still on the diet because the meds have a negative effect on my craving food. All I crave is water and the occasional broth... Because I have nothing...

Did you take your vitamins?

Happy Thursday Twitlossers! I was a very very bad girl last week and completely spaced on my post.... but to be fair I was in over my head in schoolwork. Thankfully I am done with the semester. Hopefully this will help with my twitloss effort as theoretically I now have more time to cook and plan, etc etc. I wanted to talk (maybe briefly) a bit about supplements and vitamins. Is anyone else taking...

BACON!

Okay so there isn't any bacon here. There isn't much of anything here. I have little to report. I gained a pound (196), started physical therapy and now I am off the sauce. Yep. No alcohol. I really enjoy a beer after work, but that isn't happening. Not for a while. Maybe I should try something exotic as a treat? How about bacon falvored Diet Coke?No? Not tempting? LOL! Hope everyone has a good week,...

Another One Bites the Dust

You did nothing to deserve it, but you're getting Freddie Mercury in his underwear shorts. No, no, don't thank me. It's my PLEASURE!Heh. Watching that made me really happy! Anyway, hey everybody! Sorry today's post is late. Last night was crazy with about 400 people (despite what our print media reported) coming out to protest library closings. I stood outside for 3 hours talking to an overflow crowd who couldn't get inside the building (due to fire code restrictions) and trying to keep everyone's...

Day 71: GAME ON!

I gained a pound this week. I know, you're like that's not too bad. It's not really, but it's not like I don't know why. I wish I could be one of those people who don't see how screwed up they are and can't see the truth if it hit them in the face. Unfortunately, I have always been very self-aware. I know how screwed up I am! I just can't get motivated to fix it. This is why I gained weight. I...

Nothing to Report

There is really nothing to report for me this week. I am in bed, under heavy meds that are definitely going to influence the weightloss (I've had it before and gained weight with it). Last Monday night I had the scare of my life when I woke up in the middle of the night and could hardly breathe...It was the start of a very bad asthma attack which I can't describe in another way but that my respiratory...

A Balanced Diet...

This week I am talking about my eating habits. The cartoon above illustrates my general eating habits. I diet and diet for a few days at a pop...maybe even a week. Gasp! Then I blow it. Or the weekend comes and I blow it. Or someone brings donuts into the office (like they did on Tuesday) and I blow it. The general theme here is I BLOW IT!Well, I started thinking again about what might work for me....

Short and Sweet

I don't have much to report this week! Last week was an exercise in futility because I was far out of my routine. I started off good......even waking up early to exercise in the hotel gym on Wednesday morning. Yeah....that lasted exactly one day. I haven't done much since then. Tomorrow, I'm back on the workout train. Food? Well, it was a good news/bad news kind of thing. The good news...

Day 64: On the Run

Too bad I mean On the Run figuratively, not literally. This is a short post as I'm late. Work was hectic today and the internet was down. Sorry. I'll make it up next week. Umm. . . . Still lazy as crap working out. Sitll eating right.! Umm, really, really need to find balance in kids, hubby, work, exercise, and sleep! But I did lose a pound Day 1: 155 pounds Day 8: 150.5 pounds Day 15: 151...
