Weigh-In Wednesday
Down a pound or so. Woo hoo and yeehaw and can I have some Sun Chips now?(Yes, but only four and a half.)(And then you must switch to broccoli.)So I made it to Day 13 of Phase I from South Beach. Day 14 was also Gaudete Sunday and I blame the Packers and my friend Tina and those two mudslides and that Kowalski's chocolate.Oh, and there was also … [Read more...]
Pre-Christmas Perspective
Last night I was at a Christmas party for my daughters’ American Heritage Girls troop. The junior leaders chose as their theme “A Baby Shower for the King of Kings,” complete with shower-type party games and a table full of baby gifts for a local shelter.The girls had a blast. They played baby-item bingo and did a blind baby food taste test. … [Read more...]
That’s so depressing!
So I felt a little guilty about my post yesterday. It did, after all, have a fair share of grit, and is it good to be gritty on Gaudete Sunday?I didn’t know.I closed the comments on the post, as is my way (usually) when what I write is rather sad and pathetic. I didn’t want to seem all fishing-for-comments-y, nor did I want to spend my Sunday … [Read more...]

“I am the Immaculate Conception.”
I am posting something on this beautiful & holy feast for two reasons: one, it is a beautiful & holy feast and two, I wanted to bump down that photo of my feet a bit.Who blogs about dieting right before Christmas, for goodness sake? I do, apparently. Cheer up, though! Next week I’m not going to blog about diets. Next week I’m going to blog … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
You know that song by James Brown?Well, I feel better--much better, and that is making a very big difference in my world.It is not about the weight so much.It is about saying no to the endless gnoshing--about not being full when I sit down to supper and about strengthening that resistance muscle.
