3 gone… 5 to go

On July 23, 2007 By

The water weight is dripping away. Just one good day of eating some healthy home cooked meals and the scale dropped 3 pounds. Just 5 more to go to get to my comfort zone.

I’m going to keep it short tonight. Just wanted to let you know and post my menu for the day. [...]

RiceSelect Whole Wheat Orzo

On July 23, 2007 By

I never remember seeing orzo pasta at my local grocery before but this jumped out at me today. You know I’m a sucker for 100% whole grain so I had to give it a try. I used it today in my Turkey Orzo Cabbage Rolls and it was a hit. The toddler liked it the [...]

Hit the Ground Running

On July 22, 2007 By

No time to wallow in self-pity about my vacation gain and, OH, what a gain it WAS! The scale is up 10lbs!!

Notice I said the scale is up not me. I know there is no way I have gained 10 pound of fat in 7 days. I know this. It’s still shocking to [...]

Sorry I left so abruptly. It was a crazy weekend getting ready for the beach. This was the first year we rented our own house so packing was a chore!

We had a BLAST! Here’s one of the few shots of me and the toddler on the beach. I’m the family photographer so pictures of [...]

On July 11, 2007 By

I can’t believe it. With my Vegas trip and then the hectic toddler week, I actually broke even after not weighing in for 3 weeks. I weighed exactly the same! What a confidence booster that I’m actually doing this! I’m maintaining!

I also hit my old Weight Watchers meeting, the one with my favorite [...]

That’s what my husband called himself today. It cracked me up.

Today was also almost back to normal. My niece is gone but I’m still recovering. That sounds bad but you know what I mean, getting back to our routine. It has seriously been crazy around here since the summer started. Is it possible [...]

Not Feeling It

On July 9, 2007 By

I just wasn’t today. I didn’t drink enough water, I didn’t weigh in this morning, I didn’t workout, I just didn’t. But I did journal! I promised myself I would.

I think I’m just not in my routine. Today was the last day my niece will be staying with use. I am just worn [...]

Gym Shmym, Who Needs ‘Em?

On July 8, 2007 By

This weekend has been tough. Home alone with the two toddlers, no husband and no sitter opportunities. What is one to do?

Workout!

That’s right I did 2, count them 2, toddler approved workouts. Yesterday I fired up the old iPod with James Brown’s All-Time Greatest Hits! and the three of TOTALLY JAMMED! [...]

MilitaryMommy was nice enough to award me the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. How cool is this?

Although, I wish I were a better Rockin’ Blogger, maybe if I was I wouldn’t have lost all my data! I would also have a blogroll with all my weight watchen buddies. I’m getting there, slow but [...]
