Stressful Week This week has been really stressful. It’s bad enough with the adjustment of back to school – and babyboy immediately launching into bad eating mode. Geez. Third day of school, what does he get? Why cupcakes for some kid’s birthday and ice cream on top of that. I’m ready to pull my hair [...]
Non Diet Question of the Day What happens to a Koolaid Cherry Jammer Artificially flavored Juice drink (you know – in one of those baggies with a straw) when it expires and sits on a shelf where you’ve hidden it from your kid? Expiration date: Aug 27, 2006. A. It turns orange B. It turns [...]
Swimming and Sugar Crashes Had another brilliant idea today. Swimming. We have a pool in our complex but I never go because A. I don’t have a bathing suit B. If I did I wouldn’t go out in public in it. But today I went to a pool party with babyboy and there were several [...]
Getting Ready For School School will be starting next week and we’ve been busy getting ready for it. The backpack is all ready to go, stuffed with enough school supplies for the year. We don’t need to buy clothes this year. I have a slew of shorts that I bought last year that babyboy outgrew [...]
Two Discoveries Today – One Good – One Bad My first discovery today was weighing in and finding a weight loss of 52 pounds. Whoo Hoo! I love this time of the month, right after my period when the weight loss actually registers instead of staying at one spot for days on end. It’s very [...]
Off the Wall Weight Loss Solution Years ago, when I was in late teens, I guess I was 18 or 19 years old, I got it into my head that I wanted to join the Army. It seemed like a perfect solution for me at the time, I was kind of floundering around, did alot [...]
Reasons I Can’t Exercise Today I have to cut my toenails. I broke a toenail. I have to watch my toenails grow. CSI Miami is on! I’m PMS’d. I’m not PMS’d yet, but I plan to be soon. CSI Vegas is on! I have a bugar. My hair bugs me. My hair bugs me even [...]
Living Life By The Scale I always hear that you shouldn’t weigh yourself everyday – but I do. It’s an obsession of mine that I plan on keeping. Unfortunately though, while most of the time it’s good (at least while dieting), I occasionally have times where weighing myself everyday is bad. This week for example. [...]
Skinny Clothes Today was a bit of fun. I decided to get into my “spare” closet – which is actually the shower stall in the second bathroom – and clear out some of the stuff in there. It’s a mess, noone can find anything and it was driving me crazy. I needed to get in [...]
My First Blow – Blowing the diet Today is the day of my first official blow. A planned blow. I am going to blow my diet by having cake, a chocolate cake, and pizza. I may even have 2 pieces of cake, as the sugar sounds especially good. I’m also preparing to be sick tomorrow. [...]
Just a few of the foods I obsess over when dieting.
Paddleball Did I mention I fell on my face on our second day of playing paddleball? Yup. Sure did. Expected to have a really big bruise on my face but it’s just a little thing, with a bump to go with it on my right knee. Smashed my left boob just a tad. I hit [...]
Tofu Discovery The other half discovered the Tofu yesterday. It’s not like it’s not right there in plain site, I didn’t hide it. Just goes to show you how often and how deep the other half gets in the fridge. The tofu is in the door, for pete’s sake. Anyway, he picks up the plastic [...]
Skin Changes Weirdness on the skin today. First, a bit of history. I have permanent (I think) lymphedema in my left leg due to a blood clot I got when I was 29. The leg stays swollen. My skin as a rule is drier than most, but on my left leg it gets *really* dry. [...]
Donuts Babyboy’s teacher brought donuts to his class this morning. They are going in earlier this week because they have an extra class an hour earlier. Guess the bimbo thinks that this will assist in waking them up and assist them in their learning. Here’s an idea: why not give them extra recess time? That’s [...]
