The holiday season
Tuesday, November 2nd 2010
There's been a lot of talk about how to handle the holiday season while trying to lose weight. Here's my take:I love the holidays. I love the family, the food, the decorations, gift giving and receiving... everything. The only thing I don't love is the "normal" weight gain I usually experience. This year will be different. I will not maintain. I will not gain. I WILL lose. I will still enjoy the holidays. I will indulge on Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years eve, etc, but not ...
Windy windy= Stress!

Uuugh! this weather is killing me at work. I'm so discouraged!!! It is so windy here the plastic roof of my greenhouse ripped off! I just set up a forest of artificial trees and my floral department out there and had to completely disassemble it in case it rains.I had a chocolate malt today. And a Chicago style hot dog. I don't even like hot dogs. Honestly, at the moment I don't think I ate it out of stress... more of convenience. I also didn't eat breakfast and I knew my dinner wouldn't ...
HOT HOT HOT

It's hard for me to believe that it's October 10. We are having unseasonably HOT weather for Northern Illinois. Not to mention I've been decorating my store for Christmas for the last month. Today I did an awesome tree for my women's boutiqe called "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend", yes, that's right we name the different trees according to their themes. Anyway, its super chic- gold, platinum and crystals and stilleto ornaments in red, black and hot pink... So cute!This week has...
Panic!
Sunday, September 26th 2010
A frantic feeling came over me today. I am going to be thirty in about ten months. This may not seem like a big deal, but I've always had this private understanding with myself that I would not be a fat thirty-something year old. It's like I set a goal for myself and now my time limit is coming up and I'm feeling a little panicky.I can't keep riding this roller coaster of weight loss/weight gain!
I need to use this as motivation. I know it will only get harder the longer I wait. Plus ...
Sweet home Chicago

I L.O.V.E. going into the City. Why I've never lived there... I don't know. I went in for a trade show for work Tuesday to Wednesday. Stayed at the Sax. OMG. It was PIMP.It is a good thing I lost 3 pounds this week. The food situation was a little out of control. Every booth has chocolates. And I will say I had quite a few. Not as many as I normally would have, though. I had no regular pop. Just a couple diets. Went to Maggiono's for dinner. And had a number of cocktails. These dang Reps ...
