No Resolutions For Me This Year
I’m not making any resolutions this year. I plan on staying on my diet as I have been. Since Thanksgiving things have been a little more funky than usual, but I haven’t blown it - except for blow days.
I do, however plan on starting to exercise. I haven’t exercised […]
Win A Laptop
Since I seem to have a bit of writer’s block, I’ve decided to enter a contest. A contest that is offering up a water resistant laptop - which would be good for me since I drink alot of water while trying to lose weight - and I spill alot of water too.

Successful Lap Banding Story
This lady lost 140 pounds and 10 dress sizes, by having lap banding surgery.
Despite the rapid weight loss, surgery wasn’t an easy way out. Hill says she still has to plan her meals and eat properly, and one of the biggest downsides is that she has difficulty digesting some starchy foods.

Today’s Food so far includes:
Coffee, black olives and low fat eggnog for breakfast. (The other half brought home the eggnog. He says: this one only has 25 grams of sugar! Oooh….)
Bread with real butter.
And since I’ve already gone to hell with myself, cooking has included butter in everything. And half and half where needed. […]

Chunky Chili
Made a pot of chili yesterday.
Chunky chili. And it’s not chunky because of the beans either. The tomato sauce itself is chunky. You can cut it with a knife.

I can smell the candy. It’s not in the house, yet, but I can smell it still.
Will I be able to withstand the temptation? After everybody is sleeping, will the candy call to me before it leaves the house with the other […]
Doctors Cancer and Shingles
This post is not really related to weight loss.
It’s related to shingles, cancer and doctors. And Moms.
Let me preface this with the small fact that my mom has lung cancer. She’s had radiation, and has been doing well for a year. She has never experienced any problems as a result of the […]
Spaghetti Sauce
I made spaghetti sauce yesterday. I’ve been craving it for at least a week. As a rule, I make a pretty good pot of sauce. A little onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, bay leaf. Tomatoes. All simmered for a few hours.
It came out tasting very - odd. Not necessarily bad, just odd. We like […]
