...patience is the hallmark of the old and the infirm... Of course the next chorus starts off with "live to learn", but we won't go there, will we? Any OK Go! fans out there????

As I write this I am eating frozen cookie dough and, no, I did not go for my run. Yes, I did hit the bar with the hubby. But ya know what? First time in AGES that we talked shop without getting in a fight so i am OK. More than OK really.

I am sure I will regret this at next weigh-in....i.e. tom...

I am a rock....apparently

Tuesday, August 24th 2010

Good grief...will my weight never shift??? No matter what I do the weight remains the same. ARGH!

On the bright side of things, my shopping trip during my mini-vacation revealed that I am now a size 4. What the @$@!%$%%?? I still feel like a size 16...I think I look like a size 16. I think this problem is due to two things: I always carried my weight very proportionately and I lost my weight VERY gradually. Well, and a third thing: the vanity sizing conspiracy. Never heard of vanit...

Thursday, August 19th 2010

At one of the old websites I used to use we were ranked as having a green, yellow or red day.

I managed to stay within my prescribed fa...

Can you say...teeter-totter?

Wednesday, August 18th 2010

Well, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this out. Over cals = even-keel emotions but extreme anxiety regarding progress, under cals = depression but pride that I am doing right thing for bod. Obviously, I need to figure this out. Clearly I am losing my mind. Have some suspicion that reduced body fat is causing me to metabolize my birth control differently and I am getting undesirable side effects. Will end this post now before I bore you to death and/or make an even bigger fool of s...

A good day, even if I was in meeting from he*l

Tuesday, August 17th 2010

Ah yes, the grand meeting in the thriving Metropolis of Twin Falls. UGH!!! Enough said about that. Today's pic is a wind turbine in flames. No, I don't have any further comments on that :bang:

Actually managed to stay mostly within calorie targets today!!! This in spite of the "free" breakfast at the hotel (I could smell waffles as I showered, torture!), the "free" lunch at the meeting (sandwiches, cookies galore, creamy salads), and going out to eat with the hubby when ...
