Re-entry
Dang — getting back on top of the worklife is rough. I am trying hard not to feel as though I’m drowning…..
Weighed in. 139 — woohoo. One more pound to goal, but I’d like to get a couple of pounds under that since TOM arrives at the same time as official weigh-in. But I’m happy [...]
Transition Day
Today’s my first full “back home” day….. Plan is to be nice to myself, try to keep the relaxed center of last week inside me and nurture it so it’s there in the coming week/s to keep me from being a stress case.
I stretched before taking care of the dogs this morning, and that’s a [...]
I’m Baaack!
Just back from a week in Florida with BF’s family…some family tension there, so not a romantic/relaxing vacation but definitely a vacation, a time to step back and be in a different place for awhile, which is healthy healthy healthy.
I stuck to my eating plan for the most part, though yesterday and today were off [...]
Trip Witch!
The women in my family don’t deal gracefully with preparations for traveling and vacation, for some reason. We’re organized, we love the prospect of getting away, we have a great time on trips, but the day or so (and especially the hour JUST before) we leave? Henrietta, hold your hat.
Not pretty.
So I’m skimming around the edges [...]
Just 5 Minutes
Met with the weight management director yesterday to keep us all on track and motivated. One of the things she encouraged us to do that sounds so simple but so challenging is to take just five minutes a week for ourselves and identify goals for the coming week. Five minutes. That’s it. Take that time, [...]

Just for the record — it’s Wednesday. I’ve had a clear plastic cup half-full of M&Ms on my desk since Monday and have only eaten 5 of them.
AM Moving:
Jump rope: LOL! Tried to do this before breakfast, i.e. before I’d put on a bra. ROTFL! Not a good idea. So I jumped maybe 20 times, [...]
Focus
Today’s the self-report weigh-in-day. I’m at 141 on the digiscale. On the one hand, this is fabulous — exactly on track for my one pound/week mini-goal to reach the larger 12-pounds-by-mid-April goal. On the other hand, I feel like I’m being a Very Good Girl in terms of keeping calorie intake low and getting regular [...]

Monday Morning (CJ Dennis, 1930)
I often pause to contemplate
The sadly barren mental state
Of persons whom it is my fate
To meet on Monday morning.
They should be, after Sunday’s rest,
Alert, clear-minded, full of zest;
But everywhere they are oppressed,
Bad-tempered, dull and yawning…..
————-
Actually, I generally do feel rather “clear-minded” on Monday morning, though “full of zest” might be a [...]
Palm Sunday
B (9:30 AM): wholegrain English muffin with hint of butter and a little blueberry jam, coffee w/soy milk, 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice
Sort of skipped lunch. Got up late today so everything’s a bit off schedule.
Sn (3 PM): 10 kernels popcorn, two ‘pea’ snacks (salted), 2 small pieces homemade chocolate cake (no frosting); raspberry lofat [...]
Spring?
South-central PA has definitely experienced spring already, and I think we’re starting to put our pinky toes into it here in western PA, too….. The birds have been singing their hearts out here since 6 AM (yep, in the dark, in the city).
I’m going to take a day off weights today and do some stretching [...]
