Big sigh of relief and my new challenge for the rest of 2007. 
Weigh in was today and I knew that I gained over the holiday but I was really hoping to stay in the 150’s.  I had the dreaded plateau in the 160’s and trust me I do not want to go back!
Results are as follows: I […]

 
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  We had a fantastic time being out of town, enjoying the holiday festivities, and we walked everywhere (approx. 6 hours a day).  So I allowed myself to indulge, within reason, over the last four days and the plan was that I’d be back on track today. 
However, I […]

       
Yippee!  I made it to my 10% goal and the halfway point, even with a later weigh in time and a huge celebratory lunch for an old colleague of mine that just recently got promoted.  — Congratulations, C - little shout out from me to you! —
Normally, I weigh in on Thursdays before lunch but since […]

 
I am so excited!  I promised myself that I could go purchase a new dress belt (size M - yeah for me) for work when I dropped into the 150’s at WI.  Last week I finally managed this feat, I had plateaued at 161 for a over a month.  At first the loss felt very unearned as I really hadn’t […]

I’m still here and missing all of you in the community.  Thank you so much for your support.  It’s been a rough week for our family but we are pulling through.  Our daughter as I said before is amazingly resilient and wonderful.  This situation is actually much harder on us at this point.  While she’s skimmed over it and […]

I am heartbroken right now and trying to pull the pieces back together.  My diet is on pause and I am perfectly fine with that.  There are some things in life that command your full attention and recent events have done just that.  My family is in pain and all of our hearts are broken.  […]

 
It’s official, I’ve maintained for an entire month now.  This complacency stops here & now!  This is not where I want to be.  I know that bungalow looked cute yesterday but I know that in a couple more months the what if questions will rear their ugly heads.  What if I had worked harder?  What if there really is a […]

 
I have become complacent.  It’s true, I’ve hit ‘that’ point.  I’m unmotivated, I’m hungry, and I’ve lost site of what my goal is.  My mental attitude towards moving on down the road has been way laid - I feel like this spot on the map really is a quant little town, maybe I should just settle here for now.  […]

Yesterday I got a hankering for Capinato.  It’s a traditional Italian vegetable dish that’s typically served cold on toasted Italian Bread (similar to bruschetta, only heartier).  Yum!  Every year about this time I get the craving for Italian food.  I have been fortunate enough to travel abroad and spend time in Tuscany.  Italy is a beautiful country with beautiful […]
