When I first signed up for a account I thought I might be too old to be at this social networking place. What changed my mind was that many of my friends were already using the site and they are the same age as me. I even found aunts and uncles of mine! Once [...]

2 Weeks Down
Posted in LIFE, tagged carbs, lifetime fitness, swimming, weightloss, workout on June 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well it’s been just over 2 weeks since I jumped on the health wagon. I still don’t know what my weight is – I’m not ready to hop on the scale just yet (maybe next week) but my jeans are getting a little looser so I know I’ve lost something :)
I have stayed away from the bad [...]

Man, people love their dogs. I know I’m one of them but I’m amazed at the amount of money people will spend on their dogs above and beyond vet bills. I guess if I had that kind of money I’d spend it too. Working part time at a Pet Resort ( fancy name for [...]
The Money Will Follow…

I think it’s been one week since I’ve been eating well. I feel better but not necessarily thinner. I’m following the South Beach Diet which makes a lot of sense to me. Limiting bad carbs is the idea behind this diet. Although I don’t think cutting out fruit is the best thing, but it’s only for 2 weeks. [...]

Some days I feel just fine (which has been most of the time lately) and then a day like yesterday creeps up on me. Its been lurking, just waiting to pounce. I think I am finished mourning my marriage and then the sadness returns. I don’t like the thoughts I’m having but I know [...]
2 Days Down (feel like Bridget Jone’s diary)

Well, it’s been 2 days since I’ve been eating good again. No sugars or breads and small frequent meals. I have to say I feel much better. No more food hangovers : )
Someone likened my 15 pound weight gain to carrying around 15 pounds of groceries in a bag all the time. My son said “eat [...]

There’s Always a Trade Off (Back up Story)
Good Bye Dairy Queen – you are no longer my friend
Sunday evening I went to a barbecue. Burgers, taco dip, chex party mix, beans, chips, strawberry shortcake, I had it all. Did I become full? No : (
Here is where the story gets bad… After I left the [...]
