Desktop lunch review: A veggie tale

Another work day where noon arrived and I hadn’t consumed a bite of food yet. Either I am a dumb ass or I’m over-worked. Smart money places a bet on both. In light of the fact that I neglected to bring the lunch I packed (dumb ass pulls ahead in the odds) and that today [...]

What does healthy look like?

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 [...]

Eat less, move more

I hate math. I really do. Considering math has been a big part of my professional life since my first full time job is ironic. Laughable, really. It rained all day here yesterday, which I gather is a rare thing in October in Southern California. Um, so yeah, all you Californians who laughed that our [...]

Pre-workout snack attack

In the spirit of really trying to work my Weight Watchers program, I am tracking my food and meeting my goal of going to the gym at least three times this week. Tonight will be the second visit. Since this means I won’t eat dinner or I will eat it very late, I brought along [...]

It’s crowded in here

No desktop lunch review today because I had the pot stickers that I reviewed a while back again because they were delicious. No need to repeat myself, even though I sort of just did. I wonder sometimes about my inner dialogues and just how many fucked-up voices there are inside my head. For example, when [...]

Better choices

Not gonna lie: I celebrated yesterday’s loss with a food reward. I know I wanted to find better ways to pay homage to the hard work that is dieting. But honestly, after weigh in yesterday I was starving, and I needed to run an errand for work, so my husband and I ended up in [...]

Namaste, bitches

Originally published on tumblr I am contemplating going to a yoga class today. I like yoga, but with my bad knees it can be tricky. And at my gym, there are mirrors on two of the studio walls that are hard to avoid — if I don’t get one particular spot in the back of [...]

Dead even

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 [...]

Walkabout

Originally published on tumblr Today was the first day in about a month that a person who hates to sweat profusely could walk around outside and not feel like a sprinkling of gooey cheese melted on a pie in a pizza oven. (I prefer delicious metaphors, a habit I will not surrender due to dieting.) [...]

My overwashed jeans

I hate to exercise. I really do. I know people who are physically fit (and I’m looking at you, Olympic athletes) get high from working out, and believe me, if it made me feel like I did at parties back in the day, I would probably love it too. But I don’t get high. I [...]
