Another update: In May, it will be 5 years since I originally joined CK in 2007. My goals haven't changed. I have floundered, but I am back with a hopeful vengeance. I want to succeed and know I can. One day at a time and one bite at a time I will move forward. I can't change where I have been, but I look back to know I don't want to be there again. I am Thomas the Tank and I think I can....hmmm...I know I can.
Update: Here it is 3 years since I joined Calorie King and I am basically...

The Greatest Love

Like many people, I have been thinking about Whitney Houston today. While her fall from grace started a long time ago, I still feel saddened by the lose of such a wonderful voice. Gone is the possibilty of a comeback and renewed success. She tried a few years ago, but her voice wasn't what it used to be. I listened in horror as she struggled to hit the notes that once came so easily. Her poison was drug and alcohol and in the end it did take away her dignity. How did she get to such a place ...The View From The Fridge

At this moment in time, I am happy. I have somehow gotten my weight loss efforts back on track after a year of floundering. I feel energized and full of purpose. I don't cry every single day and have given up the pity party I repeated almost daily for way too long. I feel such relief now. For months I couldn't shake the feelings of complete failure and impossible goals. I feared for my future. Now I have confidence for success and realistic goals to strive for. Yes, I am happy....

Yesterday was a good day.
Today I am preparing for a little luncheon at our house tomorrow. 2 nieces, 1 nephew, 1 Sister-in-Law and one bambino (my adorable great nephew) are coming over for a visit with my dad. I am keeping the menu simple. I am making 3 quiches (easy ones) and a tossed salad with goat cheese. I'll grill some chicken so I will have a great choice.
I have Election Day overload. It is ugly out there. The rhetoric is so consuming. The mud is being flung lef...
Rambles of a Lost Dieter.

Still feeling a bit lost.
I wonder why this happens to me? I really thought this time around I had conquered the demons and I wasn't going to go off course so readily.
I am not giving up.
I am not going to be defeated.
I am still absolutely determined to succeed.
I just have to find my way back.
Thought: Maybe I need a 3 month "on" and 3 month "off" pattern. I get bored, I think and need a break from all the perfection. Because I am not per...
The Drunken Haze of a Sugar High
Monday, October 25th 2010
I have been feeling a bit lost lately. It doesn't take much to get me off course. I'll be good for 14 hours of my waking day, but that 15th hour becomes a nightmare before I know it. Last night, I gave in to the damn donuts and ate 3 of them. Then came the Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches -- not so skinny when you eat more than one -- and believe me, I ate more than one. Then there was the chocolate. You know the chocolate that I walk past every single day? The chocolate that I HAVE to ha...« Previous
