During the school year, my weekends usually consist of running a few errands, cleaning the house, grading, and getting ready for school the next day. Not a lot of room for fun in the mix.
This weekend has been what I consider the perfect summer weekend.
Saturday
Yesterday my sister, mom, and I went to Santana Row [...]

Today my sister and I spent a girls’ day with my mom. We had a great day, filled with shopping, lunch, and a couple of glasses of wine. It’s so rare that we can all make our schedules work, so this day was extra special.
I had my “lean & green” meal at lunch. We decided [...]

Tonight CBCB invited a few of her friends and me to a celebration of the upcoming birthdays. Actually, I’m one of the people with the birthday coming up – July 2 – so I’m definitely looking forward to it.
The problem is she chose The Melting Pot as the place for us to go for [...]

This week I knew that my weigh in was going to be a good one, because I just felt healthier. My clothes continue to feel loose, and I’m able to wear all of my old clothes that were too tight not too long ago. It’s a great feeling.
What I didn’t know for sure was [...]

Since I’m going to the Boston/CT area in August, I’ve been spending some time planning the trip. Mostly I’ve been thinking about where I’d like to go, what I’m going to pack, and how much money I’m going to bring with me.
Then yesterday after reading CBCB’s itinerary that she has planned for us, I [...]

This morning DRMK, her husband F, and I played tennis at a local park that has tennis courts. It was F’s idea because although he works out 5 nights a week, he said that he really enjoys getting outside in the fresh air on the weekends.
I agreed, but warned that I hadn’t played tennis [...]

Or, to be more accurate, down. I got on the scale this morning and I was already down a pound from yesterday’s weigh-in. The reason is twofold — I drank a ton of water yesterday, remembered my Metamusil, and got TOM.
I also wanted to let you guys know that I’m loving this Medifast program. [...]

I stepped on the scale with a good amount of trepidation today, knowing that my weight was going to be up. First, I spent most of the week celebrating, which translates to breaking the fast with some high calorie foods, and drinking quite a bit. Also, I’m due for TOM any time now, and that [...]

Last week I put my first order in for Medifast, so that I would have it ready and waiting when I wanted to start it, beginning at the end of this month.
Great, so I’ll get a month’s worth of food (shakes, oatmeal, bars) delivered to my door. What could be easier than that? Actually [...]

While this week has been really fun for me socially, it has been murder on my diet. I pretty much went completely off the fast every day this last week. It was one party or another. One “last lunch before summer” or another. One surprise party or another. One bar hop or another.
Which is [...]
