Originally published on tumblr Nothing lost this week, but nothing gained. If this were my first time at the weight-loss rodeo, I might be discouraged. But it’s not so I am not. This week was a market correction of sorts because I dropped too much last week, really. I am, however, going to have to [...]

A little bit of hope
Originally posted on tumblr In the spring of 2008, my husband and I joined Weight Watchers. And I absolutely hated it. But being accountable to the scale kept me going. We lost a lot of weight, though. A lot. Then we quit. Not intentionally. We just stopped. And we started eating the food we enjoyed: [...]
Hacked, humbled and hungry
Originally posted on tumblr My personal blog, the one that I neglect like an ugly house plant on a high shelf, was hacked earlier this month by Russian pornographers. I thought I undid their damage, but apparently not. My host server has disabled my blog. A beautiful and smart techno geek is working to restore [...]
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 [...]
During shot
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 [...]
