Long pants are my nemesis right now. I need to give up the capri length pants I’ve been wearing to work all spring and summer and squeeze my thighs into floor-length slacks and jeans. This, I am afraid, is going to require shopping. I love to shop for shoes, purses and jewelry. I hate to [...]

There was a meme all over Facebook this week about a woman who reportedly wrote a response to a bulletin posted at a gym. I do not know if any of this is true, so the journalist in me resisted posting it to my wall. Also, many of the memes included a nude photo of [...]

I absolutely love Starbucks. Huge fan. Have a gold membership and they send me reward cards. It’s a mutual love affair. If you can find the bitch that loves Starbucks more than me, point her out because she and I should be besties. A Starbucks a day, however, is a great way to rack up [...]

Despite the amount of delicious food and beverage we enjoyed on our weekend trip to the Circle City, somehow my husband and I both managed to lose weight this week. I know, right? I attribute this win to a good defense. In the face of overwhelming yummy food, we made the best choices we could [...]

I am about to share a very valuable pro tip with all you weight conscious folks who do like I do and trek into Subway a couple of times a week because it’s fast food that doesn’t have a bazillion calories and fat grams. This is important so pay attention. DO NOT order the new [...]

No movement on the scale at yesterday’s weigh in, which is frustrating but I know it’s part of the process. When I entered my digits into the Weight Watchers online program, however, I had to have burned off a few calories while cursing at my computer screen, and I was tempted to earn some activity [...]

Originally published on tumblr Yeah, you read that right. Went to the Rolling-Stones-song-inspired restaurant today for lunch with my husband. And we had salads. Nice healthy, totally on-Weight-Watchers-plan salads. Look how pretty! And they were delicious. Just a wee bit of ham (all you see here is all I had) and lots of veggies. And [...]
Desktop lunch review: A bowl of yellow

Originally published on tumblr Today’s diet entree comes from the calorie-conscious kitchens of Weight Watchers Smart Ones and can pretty much be summed up in one word: Yellow. Until today, I didn’t think of yellow as a flavor. But now, I know what yellow tastes like. And it’s not great. This bag of frozen sustenance [...]
Two pounds…down!

Originally published on tumblr Gotta admit, I was a little discouraged this week. Emotionally this week has been tough, and I have been all whiny and bitter about trying the weight loss thing again. I have dropped and added hundreds pounds for more than 30 years, so my failure rate at healthy weight maintenance is [...]
