After last week’s scary weigh-in, I knew that this week was going to be better. No matter what the scale showed, I knew that I was going to be down, because I’ve been doing well with water, tracking, and generally feeling a lot more positive about the whole process. Besides that, I went to an [...]

You’ll remember that a month ago I made Back to School Goals, and I thought this would be a good time to check in on those and to make some new Autumn Goals. Here’s how I did on each of the Back to School Goals: Track every bite in LoseIt, whether I’m proud of the [...]

It’s been about two weeks since I moved to my new house, and in that time, I’ve come to realize something rather significant: my attitude and outlook on life is so much more positive. I was going through the motions for the last year at the old house. I was often depressed, felt powerless to [...]

This morning, after taking Miss Lulu on a walk, I broke tradition and went to the grocery store (Trader Joe’s, to be exact!). It was so nice to beat the weekend crowds (and the expected heatwave coming today) and get my shopping done early. I even found rockstar parking! You guys know how organized and [...]

Yesterday I got on the scale, and even though I said I wasn’t going to post that weigh-in on the blog, I felt the need to write. The number that I saw Wednesday morning was SCARY! It’s the highest number I’ve ever seen displayed on the scale, and it’s not a number I ever want [...]

Part of me is [...]
Mini Moving Break

If only moving were this easy! This is how busy I am: this morning I didn’t even realize it was Wednesday until I got to work. Which means no weigh in this morning. Which I’m taking as a sign to just wait until next week. I’m now at the point where if I’m not at [...]
