I spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen and it seemed like old times. FrankenThumb is healed; no more bandage and the tender new skin is getting tougher every day. And every day I get a little more bold and a little less chicken shit. Body and soul are indeed connected. It helped that it [...]

Being good, and eating good, for the big game

Today is game day. The AFC Championship game. When my beloved Colts take on the upstart Jets and battle for a berth in the Super Bowl. This, to me, would normally be a chicken wings, pizza and beer day. But since I am trying to chisel some of the flab off my fat ass, I [...]
Long week of bad choices

I avoid talking specifically about my job on this blog because I have plenty of other forums where I bitch about/discuss that. Let’s just say that for the last four years with my current employer, my holiday season revolves around one specific project, and that project sucks all the life and joy out of me. [...]
So close and yet I managed to fuck it up

I tried to do the NaBloPoMoFo challenge. I lasted until the 23rd. Aaaaand then I just forgot. I brought work home last night, so I was on the flippin’ computer, working until I had bony fingers, all evening long. But it didn’t hit me until I was in bed, past 11 p.m., that I didn’t [...]
Excuse #8,934 for blowing off the gym

OK, I totally blew off the gym last night. And I can’t blame Paula Deen. Or anyone else but me. I went into lazy mode as soon as I got home. I was tired. I was frustrated. I had a hard day. I totally deserved that pizza I ordered. And the bottle of wine I [...]
The numbers

I started with a big number. Really big. A whopping 268. Then I started Weight Watchers and going to the fitness center. And all I did was track numbers. Numbers of time I ate each day; the value assigned to each bite of food; the total glasses of water, servings of veggies, healthy oils, servings [...]

Here’s a photo of my hubby just a couple of months ago. Pretty cute, huh? He looks great. He still has more weight to lose, but I think he’s damn hot now. He’s a big fan of my cooking, and he’s a damn fine grillmaster. He likes to eat and drink every bit as much [...]

My hubby and I both started Weight Watchers in June, 2008. Since then he has lost 100 pounds and I have lost 40. Men always lose more weight faster than women. Something about a having a penis just means fat falls off you, I guess. That sucks. Big time. But hey, good for him. Love [...]
Downscaling: a mission statement

I am a fat girl. Plump, chubby, heavy, whatever you want to call it. I am overweight. Obese. Let’s just get that out there right now. I’m not proud of it, but there it is. I am in the shape I am in because I love, love, love food, especially the really decadent stuff like [...]
