Gave up First Place…

I quit doing First Place. It was a great idea, if anyone bothered to do what they promised. One of the things you promise to do is encourage someone weekly. I was pretty good sending encouragement to EVERYONE for the first 4 weeks and the only encouragement I ever got from others was 1 in […] Read more…

Progress…

Well, I’m about 6 weeks into, as I have lovingly referred to it, religious fat camp.   And, surprise, surprise — I’ve fallen off of the wagon. I did very well with eating until Christmas and then lost it between Christmas & New Years.   Then 1/2, I started working with my personal trainer — interesting […] Read more…

After re-reading my CR (food journal, among other things) I realized I consumed a TON of calories from drink – large pop from subway, a can of pop, 2 glasses of Tang… Bummer. Otherwise, I didn’t do so bad yesterday […] Read more…

Trying something new…

With the onset of fall, I somehow became mired in a knee-depth depression.  Nothing major but annoying and de-motivating, nonetheless.   During this wonderful time, I managed to gain 10 lbs.   I, frankly, do not have the desire/motivation to do this on my own and I am also being pretty cheap and lazy lately.   I’ve decided […] Read more…
