I love these 1 pound loss mornings.  Right now I’m waking up thinking – will I make it below 200 in the next 15 days?  It’s a stretch and since my TOM is due in a week, probably won’t quite happen but it’s fun [...]

It’s a good morning.  I woke up feeling like I had lost and I did.  I’m in a new weight decade – sweet!  It’s good to be back home and getting into my routine again.   I have a little over two weeks to go [...]

I’m amazed with the fact that I lost anything.  I flew yesterday evening and before that I had a little cheat.  I had kinda planned on it, to tell you the truth.  I have a number of mexican food restaurants in both Houston and [...]

This morning, as I snuggled under the covers in a cold house (my parents don’t like to turn the heat on unless it’s below 55 indoors), I decided that it didn’t matter what the scale said.  If it was the same or higher then [...]

Yep, the scale isn’t moving, not even .2.  UGH!  Well, I knew it would happen eventually and I feel like I’m retaining water or something even though I drank a gallon of water – it sure felt like it.   I’ve measured my glass and [...]

Well, the day of no loss had to come sometime, I guess.  Fortunately today is measurement day and I’ve lost 7 inches in the last week for a total of 15 1/2 inches.  That’s actually better than my pound loss.   I’m a little perplexed [...]

Wow, was I thirsty yesterday after the flight.   Once through security I had enough time to stop and buy a 33 ounce bottle of water for just over $3 – ouch.   I’d always been one to buy a bagel and coke or coffee so [...]

Well, I was bummed about not losing anything this morning… I was hoping i’d have at least .2, but I had to wake up at 3:30 a.m. for a 6 a.m. flight from Kansas City to Houston.   I knew that weighing 5 1/2 hours [...]

Well, it’s a little disappointing this morning but it makes sense. It was almost 9 p.m. before I started eating dinner. I have a late meeting on Tuesdays and I need to be able to come home and eat as soon as the meeting [...]
