It’s been quite some time, my friends and not just because I have been holding out on my current stats.  I have been busy, but also holding out on boring each of you with my mindless rambling about my stupid hip injury.  Each week I feel like I will be on the mend and back [...]

After a week of limping around and being in a bit of a negative mood, last night was the time I had to put an end to it.  Noel said something to me the other day that didn’t really set in until last night.  He told me that injuries are a part of being an [...]

I have continued to ice down my hips even over a weekend trip with friends.  Nothing like a relaxing ladies weekend away at the lake while I sat and iced my hips.  It could have been even better if I had an inflatable donut to sit on.    I did find myself eyeing a hot pink walker [...]

I’m sorry if I was a bit overly dramatic, yesterday in my blog.  Let’s just chalk it up to an extreme amount of pain without much relief.  I made it to the doctor and boy am I glad that I did.  It turns out that I have Bursitis in both hips and I was given [...]

I don’t describe the feeling of being crushed very often, but as of last night I was extremely crushed by the realization that the marathon is most likely out for me and possibly running altogether.  I have somehow injured my lower back and hip to the point that I was crying from the pain.  I first [...]

I have been fretting over the concept of learning the new Weight Watchers Points Plus plan that it has kept me from going to the meetings for a while and with that confession I am also confessing to weighing ten pounds more than I did when I last attended WW in October.  Gee, there is a [...]

The past few days of cleaner eating has been very successful.  I am not craving sweets.  I have gone three nights without dessert and don’t really feel like I need anything after dinner.  I did eat a tablespoon of peanut butter at 8 PM because I felt a little hunger and I normally don’t eat [...]

I know that some of the things that I am changing about my lifestyle may seem extreme for weight loss, but it is not all about weight loss.  I am making changes based on the fact that my ANA blood test revealed that I have an unspecified auto-immune disease and that there is a possibility [...]

The time has come to not only shake things up, but to get to the root of what is causing not only long term plateaus, but weight increases that sometimes I can account for and other times that I can’t.  I recently read the book, Master Your Metabolism and it has been a real eye [...]
