Today is my last day of summer vacation. I started celebrating this day last night by staying up until after one o’clock researching ancestry to determine why my oldest daughter looks like a Native American. We figured out it might have to do with the “Black Dutch.” in Western Europe. But we’ll have to see. I [...]

I thought about it and what was making me sabotage myself was my fear of change. Not only fear of my body changing but things are changing at work and I am making myself crazy thinking about it. I was medicating myself trying to avoid thinking at all. So I quit eating and played out [...]

Yesterday was one of those days. I don’t know what happened at the end but the middle was THE BEST! My oldest and I went shopping yesterday afternoon and I tried on clothes from the section of the store I haven’t been able to shop from in a long time. 16’s were too big and [...]

I neglected to mention I started a food journal a year ago June and I wrote on the last page yesterday. A new start for me. I need to find another notebook or make one. I’m excited to do that too.

Weigh in day. I’m so proud of me! I worked hard counting calories this week, fell off the wagon one day, and got right back on and lost 2.6 pounds. I didn’t feel like I was losing anything and I was worried the scale would reflect that. If I add regular exercise to that I [...]

Today is a major holiday in Utah. The 24th of July. It commemorates the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in Utah. In our little community it is bigger than the fourth of July. The fireworks are better anyway. So this means picnics and games and hanging out with family. I’m feeling better but I’m not [...]

I’m feeling better this morning. The antibiotics are working as is the cough medicine. I tried two new recipes for low fat/low calorie dishes last night. I don’t know if I am going to do that again. They might have been good if there had been some sugar in them or more spices. I’ll have [...]

I have a sinus headache, bronchitis, and my varicose veins are acting up. I just want to go back to bed and sleep the rest of the day. But there are too many dishes to do, a dog who is in desperate need of a walk, and weeds three feet tall in the backyard. Of [...]

My souvenirs from Alaska included a really cool t-shirt and a way nasty cold. It is really hard to exercise when you can barely breathe. I tried it Friday and sat around yesterday. I may take my dog for a short–slow–walk today. The good news is that I have a very productive cough (eewy gooey [...]

Back from Alaska and weigh in day. I can’t believe it! I guess moose and reindeer and halibut are WAY lean because I lost half a pound and I ate like there was no tomorrow. Actually, I tried to eat lots of veggies and stayed away from the heavy breakfasts and maybe that’s what did [...]
