Saturday

Posted by: velveteen In: Thoughts

Last night was a bit off plan.
The kids came over for the weekend and R served immediately up 4 pieces of cake.
I did however make myself some chicken and broccoli for dinner, so not all was lost.
Well, until we opened a bottle of wine….
My ankle is still a bit swollen and stiff, but I really [...]

I’m bored and ready to go back to work!

Posted by: velveteen In: Ranting| Thoughts

So I’ve been home all week with my ankle elevated and compressed and have basically done NOTHING all week.  I’ve seen all the daytime television I can stomach.  Surfed all the boards.  Posted and Updated everywhere and I’m just so ready to have my regular life back.  Even when that means stress and travel and [...]

I had it before.  Why did I have it before and not now?  Why did it seem easier then?

A few comments about this past week

Posted by: velveteen In: Exercise| NSV| Thoughts| WW Weigh-In| clothes

First off, weigh-in, another 2lbs down! Only 5.9lbs to my mini-goal of 198. I could have said 199 to hit ONEderland, but 198 is 10%. Ive amazed myself that I CAN actually do this for more than 3 weeks at a time. 5 weeks now to be exact (on WW online).
Secondly, [...]

Another Saturday Post

Posted by: velveteen In: Postive Mental Attitude| Thoughts

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 [...]

A Post I wrote almost a Year Ago

I think it’s important to remember these things… (my 3FC blog birthday is on the 15th!)
—————————————————————————–
I would be lying if I said I truly didn’t care what my numbers are.
Of course I care!‚ I put a LOT of effort though, in focusing on positive things I’ve done throughout the day, and do some [...]

Things went a bit pear-shaped last week. Tons of stress, too little sleep, too many hours worked, too little planning. It showed on the scale too. I need to repeat to myself daily the following::
1) NOT planning doesn’t help me. Yes it’s great to sleep an additional 15 minutes in the morning, but if, at [...]
