Inching back a day at a time

So I did it I stepped on my Wii for the first time in two weeks on Saturday morning. I guess behaving myself brought a bit of success. I lost about .5 pounds. One of those YIPPEEE moments and I can only imagine how good it would have been had I truely stuck to plan. [...]

Still trying to get up again

Hoping to haul my size 16 butt back her once and for all. Haven’t been able to find time to Wii - eat right or do anything but work (poorly) and take care of my mom (rather well if I say so myself). Brought her home from the hospital on Thurs - spent the night [...]

I fall down but I get up again

So was going to take one day “off” sort of. We had a family dinner - buffet style but still able to make decent choices. My future mother-in-law is the type to shove food at you and I am constantly fighting with her about it. All the women in my sweeties family are maybe size [...]

Day 16 — feeling GREAT

Zee — yes it means a lot to have my mom and G get along.  My mom adored absolutely adored my late husband so poor G had that strike against him from the start and my LH was very charismatic - G is just my darling sweet quiet G - funniest thing is  he is [...]

Day 15 - -two weeks down!!

Zee you are soooo correct — that is mostly why I avoid those places but what’s a girl gonna do when mom asks for something special.
Calories for 06/11 1550 yep you read that right. But only because I was busy in the morning doing the Wii Fit demo at the gym. Very interesting information I [...]

Day 14 — sighs

Calories for 06/10 1935 another good day at work but I had another “mom night”. How to do this without really sounding like an awful child but I have just about run out of the end of my rope here. I know this is nothing like what she is going through but she fought me [...]

Day 13 — good

Phyl - we always have worse body perceptions of ourselves. I feel like a moose most of the time - but then every once in a rare while it all comes together.  Sure I am a big BIG girl - always will be but I will be thrilled to be a size 12 again some day.  Making [...]

Day 11 and 12!!!! Trudging On

Calories for 06/07 1624 06/08 1722 I love when I can eat really well — enjoy what I do eat and still keep it under 1800. I didn’t deny myself much of anything — just made great choices all day. I am completely proficient now at reading labels and I will measure if I am [...]

Day 10 - PHEW

Calories for 06/06 1872 not a stellar day but not horrid either. Worked up in the lab for close to 2 hours. Never stopped moving - got everything out of the way and then the contractor came by and said there was no reason to move things. Of course typical contractor they just don’t get [...]

Day 9 - heading to double digits

Zee — yes in many ways we are cut from the same cloth - -actually when I read many of your posts it reminds me of the passion my darling fiance feels for many things - and I agree 100%
Calories for 06/06 1797 LOL Phew finally just squeaked under 1800. No more Starbuck’s mochas until [...]
