I have a confession to make – last week I didn’t make it to my WW meeting on Thursday. Regular readers know this is a terrible habit I have – if I see something that I may not like on the scale the morning of my WW mtg, I often skip it. It’s called DENIAL [...]

Bella, the Bathing Beauty – Installment #1: 24 laps
Posted in exercise, feeling good, fitness, goals, health, healthy outlook, swimming, weight loss, working out, tagged bella the bathing beauty on June 29, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Ok, maybe not quite, but I went to the pool again today and for about 25 minutes (out of the 2 hours I was out there), I was the only one there. Loved it! I could almost pretend that I had this fabulous pool in my backyard, surrounded by a huge, park-like expanse of grass. [...]
Bella 1, InnerFatGirl 0 (mostly)

As you may have guessed from today’s earlier post, I was feeling quite trepidatious about going to the pool by myself. I was worried that there would be a pool full of people, or worse still, a bunch of people lounging poolside, ready and able to oogle my fat self in a bathing suit. In [...]
Trying to Ignore InnerFatGirl

Yesterday was HOT! Like 96 degrees in the shade, hot. My sister and I planned to take my dad to a local bocce ball court to spend the day with him for his birthday. My dad is a master at bocce, and my sister and I are both pretty good, too. Without knowing the weather [...]
So silly that it’s ridiculous

Ok, you guys, I’m not sure what has been going on… call it a senior moment (except I’m only going to be 38 next week), call it a blonde moment (except my hair is black), call it being oblivious and stoopid (yes I know that’s spelled wrong – this mistake warrants misspelling). For the past [...]
Skechers Shape-Ups

I just bought a pair of Skechers Shape-Ups from Amazon.com. Have you seen the ads for these shoes? I’ve seen them in a few magazines, including WW and Women’s Health. I thought they looked interesting, especially because I was sure they were a lot cheaper than MBTs. I bought them on a whim today, but [...]
Adventures in EA Sports Activeland – Day 1
Posted in exercise, feeling good, fitness, goals, health, healthy outlook, new activity, weight loss, Wii, tagged EA Sports Active, Weight Watchers, Wii, Wii Fit on June 26, 2009 | 6 Comments »
To be accurate, I originally tried using the EA Sports Active with my new velcro work-around yesterday, but the leg band kept slipping down my thigh as I tried to do different movements. It was so frustrating that I finally gave up. So today, after warming up for 20 minutes using the Wii Fit, I [...]

Last week was the official end of my Walk-It Blog-It 8-week Challenge participation, but I wanted to write one more post to let you know just how successful this challenge was. The PR rep I’ve been dealing with for the Walk-It Blog-It Challenge wrote this: Good morning, Bella Congrats again on being featured on WeightWatchers.com! [...]
Staying Active!

Today I wasn’t sure what to write about, and then I thought, “why not write about being active?” My life today is so much different than it was even a year ago. I am astounded by how much more active I am now. I have discovered that I love to be active – to move [...]

My first week off of school has been absolutely fantastic! Have I done my “summer workout plan” perfectly? No. But have I been getting in a lot more activity than I was the last month of school. Definitely! For example, I had some library books to pick up on Thursday, and instead of driving, I [...]
