My computer can’t seem to find the server … And since I can’t go too long without posting a blog entry, I had to hop back over here to let y’all know what’s going on.
Yesterday wasn’t the day I’d hoped for. Instead of losing 0.6 pounds and hitting that 50-pound loss mark, I GAINED […]

It seems there’s something wrong over at Blog to Lose, so I’m posting this here instead. Guess it’s nice to have a backup plan, eh? I’d planned to get up and work out so I could earn some extra APs for tonight’s book club meeting. Well, I must have been exhausted, because I didn’t get up […]

I’m doing the American Cancer Society’s Climb to Conquer Cancer this August, and, for the first time this year, am trying to raise some cash for this great cause. In the past, the Daily Sun has had a team but unless no one told me, we haven’t done any fund-raising.
It’s more than just a great […]

I think I’ve discovered one of my “trigger” foods: Cheez-Its.
I bought a box of those 100-calorie pack Cheez-Its Friday because they looked good and I was craving something savory. I ate one — just one — last night, and another today. But I noticed that after eating them, I was kind of wanting something else […]

Today has been an OK day. I made it to the gym, spending 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 working with weights. The eating thing is a bit rough, though. It’s only 9 p.m. and I’ve used up pretty much all my Points. (I guess I have a couple of APs I can tap […]

I think I need to stretch more after my next training run. I tend to skimp on that aspect when doing regular workouts, but tonight my quads hurt. I’m pretty sure it’s the run and not the softball, because I felt fine when I woke up this morning (after the game).
The good news is I […]

Well, I told Ronji that I might start a “couch to 5k” training program for her May activity challenge.
So last night, I found one online and printed it out. This morning, I hit the treadmill at the gym. I did the “brisk 5-minute warmup walk.” Then I alternated 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds […]

The big bummer tonight is that we lost our game … by a score of 15-8, we think. (No one was working the scoreboard, and I lost count at 15-6.) This team was REALLY good, though. We decided most of the guys probably played ball in high school or college.
The good news is, that with […]

I actually have Points left over. Yep. I’ve only had 25 of my 28 Points today, so I get to have a legal snack tonight. Haven’t decided what it’ll be yet, but I’m leaning toward a quesadilla. That tends to be my go-to snack.
This is after I had a HUGE dinner. OK, dinner wasn’t all […]

I’d been having such a good week … but blew it today.
Exercise-wise, things were good. I did a Zumba class and took the dogs on a 40-minute walk. But food was a different story.
Breakfast and lunch were OK. I had an egg and a tablespoon of LF cream cheese on half a light English muffin […]
