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 - [...]
Another early morning start (4.40) and I’ve got everything prepared (food) and ready (gym stuff) to go. I actually feel great this morning! I even ironed a shirt! Me, ironing! Hahahaha!
This is my breakthrough week and I’m DOING it!
I quit taking effexor on April 16th, 2007.
A YEAR drug-free! Now THAT I’m really proud of!!!
And another good week behind me. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I’ve avoided going on the scale the whole week. I don’t want to be ruled by the scale, I want to feel good for other things that I’m doing in my life to be healthy.
I had physiotherapy twice this week for my knee. FINALLY [...]
Self-portraits inspired by Alana Jo. She has a good reason to be taking self-portraits as well

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 [...]
I realize it’s not the best thing in the world to jump the gun, to expect anything, or to assume that everything is going the way you would like it to.
However…
After another full week on my at-home CD I looked at my numbers and, while I was over by 4 points last week, (4 points! [...]
Well, Saturday, too
What an excellent day! I’m on a roll! 20 points in total, included a lunch out, a WW recipe for dinner that I tweaked (I’m sorry, but I can not live with only one clove of garlic in a recipe), even had a few Vodka & Cassis Light which I had [...]

So far, so good. Seriously. I would much rather get this weight off than go off on a binge. I’m just not going to do it.
My points so far this week::
Monday 23
Tuesday 19.5
Wednesday 20.5
Thursday 21 (I earned 2 bonus points for walking 40 min)
Friday 21
Goal points each day:: 21
Seriously! I haven’t had a WW week [...]
