"Drop trou" has a new personal meaning to me
Thursday, October 20, 2011      1 comments

I first heard about Drop Trou when the Navy made me sit through a couple of venereal disease movies in basic training. Always good for a laugh because training movies were made long before they had mingled men and women in the Navy. The audien... Read more

Will I be able to eat just half?
Tuesday, October 18, 2011      4 comments

I'm attending a professional dinner meeting this evening. Meal is set -- some sort of chicken, veggies, salad, potatoes and a dessert. I can ignore the potatoes. I'm not concerned about the chicken or steam veggies or the salad. ... Read more
The 60's
Sunday, October 16, 2011      0 comments

I was fixing something minor yesterday. It required me to be close to the floor. So I was on my knees. It was hard getting down to my knees, it was hard staying on my knees. It was hard getting back up.... Read more
My husband's insomnia keeps me awake
Friday, October 14, 2011      3 comments

I think the title says it all. If I quietly go to another room to sleep, I get awakened by him watching loud television at some godawful hour.... Read more
I used to feel as if I had more control over the stress
Thursday, October 13, 2011      0 comments

In my 20's I felt more in control of the stressers in my life. Adding a spouse, children, another college degree seemed to be something I chose. Then their stresses became my stresses. I am trying to settle a disabled child -- remarkabl... Read more
Yikes I put on 2 pounds this week
Tuesday, October 11, 2011      1 comments

I had dessert 3 times this past week and splurged on bread and some macaroni. Near as I can tell, I did not exceed my calories, but somehow I did not feel as "sharp" last week. I felt lethargic a good deal of the time and a bit stressed by try... Read more
I get inspired by people's blog posts
Sunday, October 09, 2011      1 comments

I wasn't crazy about what I ate on Friday or Saturday -- stayed within the calories, but too much fat and sugar. And ... I can't get to Sunday pilates -- it's full. That means I have to inspire myself to do exercise. So this morning... Read more
The movers were late so I over indulged because I was antsy
Thursday, October 06, 2011      0 comments

The movers called at 11:30 to say it would be closer to 1:00 pm when they'd arrive. I was just about to have a bowl of celery soup (100 calories) when I decided that we would have the traditional moving day pizza. What a dumb idea. 800 calori... Read more

The sparkly but painless circle in my right eye turned out to be a migraine. Wow! My daughter and granddaughter get them. Maybe I've been having them and didn't know what they were.... Read more
149 -- the plateau has moved. Now to get to 148
Tuesday, October 04, 2011      1 comments

149 has been important as it symbolizes going below 150 where I've been flatlined for about a month. 148 is important because I can claim the 20 pounds lost trophy.... Read more
Crap, another injury

I was celebrating the return to the elliptical this week. This morning I got out of bed and my ankle locked. THe pain is pretty bad. I was counting on the extra elliptical time to get me off the plateau I've been living on for about a m... Read more
The one extra pat of butter put me over
Thursday, September 29, 2011      0 comments

So I saved calories all day yesterday to enjoy dinner with my daughter. Veal marsala, salad, squash medley and tiramisu. Delicious. And the small piece of bread with 2 pats of butter -- wonderful treat. When I entered my calori... Read more
Traffic was so bad, I ate my lunch while commuting
Wednesday, September 28, 2011      0 comments

I enjoyed a 6:00 am pilates class and then stopped into Greenberry's for coffee. Then the downpour started and I knew the 20 minutes commute would now be 90 minutes. The woman in front of me got coffee and then impulsively added a chocolat... Read more
