Life

I discovered the only downside of deciding to blog on the way to work.  I got settled on the train this morning, opened my laptop and …it’s not working.  I’ve had problems in the past with it holding a charge but haven’t had any problems for the last couple months.  I’ll have to check that out over the weekend.  Can you even replace the battery...

It was a few weeks back in a Weight Watchers meeting that we were talking about motivation.  How to get it, savor it, and most importantly, hot to keep it.  The first 8 weeks of this year I was tracking like it was my job, making sure I got blue dots on my healthy daily eating chart, and I was focused and determined.  I had...

While I was on the train ride to work, I was looking at my WW app and realized I never entered my food for dinner Saturday night OR this chocolate pie!   So while I thought I was -82 points for the week, I stand corrected – I am at -112!  #gobigorgohome 😀 Tony used to buy me this pie every birthday.  It’s a sugar...

Hannah and Jacob both had to work on my birthday yesterday, and Hannah was so apologetic about it, but I told her it was not a big deal.  I had already planned on going to my Mom’s church yesterday morning and we were going out to lunch. So Saturday night the kadults took me out to dinner at a new restaurant in our town that...

Good morning!   If you signed on this morning and saw this, sorry! asjd;flajfsld;kfj;laskjfasl;kjfl I embedded the photos first, wrote the post in between, and I have no idea what happened, but it didn’t save it. So let’s try it again! Thank you for everyone who commented, texted me or sent a message via Facebook telling me that my 56 point day was not a...

I had a plan yesterday.  Because it was Hannah’s birthday and we were going out to eat, I wanted to keep my breakfast and lunch on the low point side.  Breakfast was 6 points – 3/4 cup steel cut oats (3), Kashi cinnamon squares crumbled on the side (2) and a tablespoon of sugar free pancakes syrup. (1). While it was still busy at work,...

My daughter is ONE QUARTER OF A CENTURY OLD!  Which means a year from now I’ll be HALF A CENTURY OLD!  How the hell did that happen?!  What I life Hannah and I have had together!   It didn’t matter that I hardly had any money when she was little, and that I had to live with my parents for the first five years of her...

I just barely made the early train to make it down to the Weight Watchers center before work yesterday to meet my sister.  And as luck would have it, I forgot my WW book at home on my desk, and I was trying to figure out what my last week weigh in was – I knew it was 160 something, but was it 160.9 or...

While I felt a bit awkward eating this plate of food on the train ride to work yesterday morning, what I did love was that I didn’t feel rushed eating my breakfast like I do when I am sitting at my desk and work keeps piling up around me.  Three ounces leftover beef (well, really not leftover I cooked it before I left the house...

So my weird dream with Oprah weighing me in with a 4.5 gain was all for nothing!  I forgot my WW journal at home that has my weekly WI booklet.  Check that out – only .7 pounds from the 150s!  I am down 17.8 pounds since December 26.  I actually thought “maybe I’ll hit 20 pounds lost by the end of February! Until I realized...
