Zumba crash and burn

Yesterday I took a long walk around the neighborhood with  my husband before he and my daughter took me out for a Mother’s Day brunch. Then I went to the gym. Walked a half mile around the track. Endured the CSWORX core conditioning class. Then stayed for 50 minutes of Zumba — a first for [...]

The question of why

Yesterday while I was changing in the locker room at the gym, I struck up a conversation with an older lady who was in my water aerobics class. She also had a knee replacement so we were chatting about that. She told me a horror story about how she dislocated the kneecap on her mechanical [...]

Better fitness through technology

Shortly after we entered the bariatric candidacy process, the nutritionist that works with our surgeon suggested we start tracking our calories and exercise using an app called MyFitnessPal. Logging my meals was one of the things I really LOATHED about Weight Watchers, but I couldn’t argue the point that while I was doing it, I [...]

Desktop lunch review: Chicken and other randomness

Today’s toteable mid-day nourishment comes from Healthy Choice’s collection of steaming entrees, and it’s so close to being a good dish I just had to blog about it. Honey Balsamic Chicknen for 210 calories. What could possibly go wrong? Almost nothing, really. The sauce was wonderful. You could dip inedible objects in this sauce and [...]

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 [...]
