Nobody’s perfect. Weeks of working on my coping skills to get to the point that I could find peace in something other than chocolate went up in smoke in the last few days. Most of the gnawing anxiety is work-related, so I won’t go into detail because: I’m a a professional The details are boring to [...]

Desktop lunch review: Pao! Wham! Eh.

Today’s frozen, mass-produced food morsel comes to us from the good people at Healthy Choice, Kung Pao chicken in a steamer tray. I think producers of mass-marketed frozen diet entrees really love Asian-inspired foods. And what’s not to love? Rice, veggies, white meat chicken and a bit of spicy sauce and WHAM! You have an [...]
When I’m bad, I’m to-the-walls bad

Yesterday was stressful. Hard day at work, husband out of town, dogs bouncing off the ceiling, cat being a dick. You know, the typical stuff. While I have been almost boastful of my resistance to eating my emotions lately, I folded like a seven-two-offsuit hand of Texas Hold ‘Em last night. I totally grabbed a [...]

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 [...]
The jeans dilemma

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 [...]
Desktop lunch review: In the raw

As you can see, today’s lunch selection is sparse. That’s because I have a raging headache and the only food that appealed to me when I left for work (more than an hour late) was fruit. Today’s fare is a feast compared to yesterday’s lunch, which was non-existent. You know those stupid people who say [...]
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 [...]

Vacation is synonymous with joy to me. I love being free of the stress of every day life and I love traveling. This week I am tagging along while my husband attends a conference in Los Angeles, because I am too selfish to let him get that close to the ocean without me. Yesterday while [...]
Weigh? Or no weigh?

I don’t want to go to my Weight Watcher weigh-in tomorrow. I haven’t checked my weight at all this week on my bathroom scale, which is calibrated correctly so it matches the one at WW. I have eaten healthy for the most part, but there was a drive-thru incident on Sunday. After I swam laps. [...]
