This week has not been the most successful for me, not just in weight control, but in connecting with old friends.  I went for a run, yesterday morning and I was feeling really good.  There has been some stress between myself and Noel since we rolled into Houston, so a little time alone running was much [...]

I don’t know why I always fool myself into thinking that a little traveling home to TX to visit family won’t be stressful.  I could have been sitting on my ass at home, playing some Band Hero with the husband and kids, but we headed to TX Christmas day to make our rounds to Port [...]

I am going to be very honest, tonight.  It is not very often that I let myself slip into a funk for long and I have been struggling with not letting myself get depressed.  I have not been working out as hard and as long as usual since the kids are out of school for [...]

I logged five miles of running, today.  I ran 2.37 miles, then a friend stopped by, which was really nice.  She brought gifts for the girls and stayed to help them make a really cute candy train.  Thanks, Kandi, you are the best!  I hopped right back on the treadmill after she left and ran [...]

Weigh In:  Lost .8 (not even a pound) Feelings:  I am very happy with that loss.  I shared with my fellow Weight Watchers members that every little half pound, quarter pound, eighth of a pound; they all add up.  They have added up for me to get to a loss of 70.8 pounds.  I also [...]

I think I am becoming a creature of habit more and more as I get older.  I went to the first Tuesday morning spin class since my friend, Kelly (the instructor) left on maternity leave.  The woman that taught, today was so boring.  It was very hard to get motivated and the music she had [...]

I had a hard time getting motivated this morning.  I watched that show I Survived on Animal Planet, last night.  I thought it would be uplifting and exciting.  I read the information that it would be about a mom that fought off a black bear to save her kids in TN.  I had a dream [...]

I felt really disgusting last night. I was a little disgusted with myself for indulging in two doughnuts, but the disgust feeling was more in my stomach.  I just cannot handle overindulging the way I used to.  I have even noticed that when I eat something really sweet, my teeth hurt.  I guess the body [...]

I wonder if the cold can make a person shrink.  I know that fingers shrink in the cold because my rings are always falling off of my fingers when I’m cold.  Of course I haven’t worn rings in a while since my weight loss.  I would like to get my wedding ring re-sized, but I [...]

I went for my weekly weigh in and lost .4.  I am happy with that.  It was a very stressful week and I did not make the best food choices like the day I ate two energy bars and a granola bar or the other night when I ate two brownies for dinner.  That is [...]
