As I think I’ve mentioned in a blog post recently, this past week hasn’t been my finest hour in terms of weight loss. I’ve had a lot on my plate – starting school, arranging the move to my new place, and getting adjusted to working life again. I haven’t been great about tracking my food [...]

I was inspired by Scale Warfare’s 7n7 that she posted about today, and because once school starts back up for me, life gets even more hectic. It becomes harder to make/find the time and the desire to stay on track with my weight loss goals. I can already sort of feel myself slipping into bad [...]

Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror.” ~Byrd Baggett I love this quote this week for so many reasons, but most of all because it’s a good philosophy for life. I don’t tend to hold on to things unless they have special meaning, but every now and then (like when you’re about [...]
Just one of those days

Yesterday was a decent day that quickly dissolved into a nightmare of sorts. The day started off normally enough – I brought Lulu to doggie daycare, went in to work, attended a meeting, got things organized for the start of school, caught up with teachers who I hadn’t seen since June, etc. I definitely didn’t [...]

I have been dying to write this post all day, but I’ve been stuck at work doing a million things at once, but I’ve finally got some time to sit down and write this. As you guys know, last Monday I started following Kaiser’s Lap Band pre-op 1200-calorie/day meal plan. I have been using LoseIt [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I am so thrilled with everything that’s been going on in my life lately. I feel like all the puzzle pieces are finally falling into place and it’s all downhill (in a good way) from here. 1200-calorie Meal Plan: I’ve been doing really, really well with keeping my calories low, considering everything [...]
Quote of the Week: Laughter!

Laughter is inner jogging.” ~~Norman Cousins This summer I’ve been laughing a lot, and it feels great. A shared inside joke with a friend, the retelling of an old family story from childhood, a goofy look from someone on the street – sometimes that’s all it takes to start me laughing. When I’m with my [...]
