and, how about a postive post for today?

We went to Berlin last weekend, which was GREAT.  What a great city!!  So much history and things to see, do and learn.  Amazing place really!  When I was a kid I always associated “Berlin” with something bad and evil… I mean they were communists right?  And communists did terrible things (this is what was [...]

I’m here

Posted by: velveteen In: General

I’m up a few kg but I’m here!
For a girl who made not enough resources to have a successful day, I feel ok about today. At the very least I feel ok about my food and only my food.
The update since beginning of July:
I went on vacation. We ate ok, we walked a lot. [...]

OK guys, so I’m struggling a bit with my schedule. Being in Amsterdam during the week should mean I have time for myself, to go to the gym, to prepare my food etc. But it’s not happening. I finally seemed to get it together around midweek last week - even went to the gym - [...]

Finally a chance to write!

Posted by: velveteen In: General| Numbers| WW Weigh-In

Welcome to my crazy life.
First, several days in Amsterdam, away from home and a not so stellar week.
Then, a weekend away in Manchester (UK), certainly not really on program.
Then, a week in Dusseldorf, working, could have been better but at least I was active.
Results thus far:
Weigh-Ins
16/03 217.4lbs (98.6KG)
23/03 216.2lbs (98.0KG) - 1.2 lbs (.6KG)
30/03 [...]

Sorry I haven’t posted!

Posted by: velveteen In: General

It’s been CRAZY busy lately, AND this past week I’ve been sick!  I’m afraid this week’s results will be a complete washout, but I did in fact lose 2.2lbs last week and am down to 201.  At least, until I weigh-in on Sunday (tomorrow)…
I have a solution to the lack of time and sleep - [...]

OK. This is just ridiculous.

Posted by: velveteen In: General

So I have exactly 7 months now.
We decided to get married on Oct 14th.
And I’ve done pretty much nothing to improve the state of my body.
And I just do not know how to get to “that place” again. To have the motivation, the energy, the commitment to doing it.
*sigh*

Oh my gosh, my blog is STILL here!

Posted by: velveteen In: General

Unbelievable, I figured it would have been deleted by now.
Hi.  My name is Renée and I’m a Total Procrastinator.
I’m still in the same place.  No.  Actually, I’ve gained weight and am wearing my 48’s again.
I’m so, so tired of ME.  That *I* don’t seem to be able to just do it.  “It’s what I do!” [...]

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 [...]

Inspired

Posted by: velveteen In: General| Postive Mental Attitude| inspirations

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 [...]
