What Happened?

Posted by: velveteen In: General

Work happened.  Unbelievable, but true.  Once again I was faced with stress too great to focus on anything else.
I haven’t been to WW, but now that this month (month-end, fiscal YEAR-end at work) is over is back to basics again.
Facing the music on Tuesday to see what/how much the damage is.  I am not fearful [...]

How Embarrassing!

Posted by: velveteen In: Thoughts| accountability

I have the best support here, I really do.  Thank you all so much for the comments on my “accountability” post!
I didn’t make it to the gym.  I ended up working late.  I am really reluctant to post my excuses because I truly believe that when our heart and head are both in it, we [...]

Holding me accountable

Posted by: velveteen In: accountability

you girls don’t even know it, but you are holding me totally accountable.
My brain is saying “too tired for gym!” but I’m going to post this and pack my bag and do it anyway.
I’ll be sure to post what I did when I get back tonight.

Inspired

Self-portraits inspired by Alana Jo.  She has a good reason to be taking self-portraits as well
 not completely fair - it’s a downwards shot angle (we fat girls live by this rule, right?)

what I forgot to do was take a picture of my jeans’ waistband that is clearly too big on me

and just for [...]

Week 4 Update!

Posted by: velveteen In: General

Ha! Not much to update!
Wednesday went out to dinner and things pretty much went downhill from there.  Not really, really, downhill, just sort of.  I actually ate Mexican out and used all my saved points plus my dinner points and was still on plan.  But Thursday - Sunday wasn’t really much on plan, or at [...]

Let Her Eat Cake!

You know, this birthday has been totally low-key and I’m so down with that at the moment
You see, yesterday I planned exactly what I was going to eat.  I got up early this morning (no lie-in for the old chick here) and I prepared everything.  My goal points per day are 21.  My [...]

Week 3 Update

Posted by: velveteen In: General| Postive Mental Attitude| Recipes/Food products

Not much to report.  Things are going fairly smoothly.
I went to the gym twice this week.  The first time was Wednesday when I had my “intake” with my trainer (I get 4 free sessions).  I went on Friday as well.
I didn’t plan as well this week, so that’s something I want to do better this [...]
