174lbs
This has been a hard week. I've had some anxiety that comes and goes, and I'm grateful that I'm on anxiety medication, otherwise it would be much worse. As usual, I'm not really sure where my anxiety comes from, but I do feel very overwhelmed at home in general. Dealing with Pepper, getting chores and errands done, and feeling guilty any time I sit ( Read more... ) -
Father's Day
On Friday, after Kevin got home from work, I drove to Dallas all by myself! :o Possibly the longest solo roadtrip?? I got some Taco Cabana and relaxed in my motel room. Around 11:30, as I was watching cartoons and drifting off, someone knocked on my door and jiggled the handle. Then knocked louder and tried the handle again. I was torn between ( Read more... ) -

177lbs
I must have been retaining lots of water, because this morning I was at 177. That's a bit of a relief. I was pretty active yesterday too - I cleaned the garage, broke down boxes, mowed the lawn and took Pepper to the pool. Later I went to Zumba. I was wiped! But it felt good to move around all day. Today, we have a fairy tea party to go to - Pepper ( Read more... ) -

I spent part of my morning reading through every old entry I'd made in this journal. I was looking for clues - secrets to my weight loss success. And really, what I found was pretty much what I'm doing now. Not much has changed. I'm realizing that my relationship with food is complex and frustrating and a huge source of my weight loss problems. I'd ( Read more... ) -
let the right one in ...
I'm down to 173 today and I'm feeling pretty good about it all. I've been going for a walk around the block while Pepper naps to kind of clear my head and do something by myself for a few minutes. My junk food cravings have been scaling back immensely. For a long time, I would put dark chocolate chips in both my oatmeal, and on my PB toast, but I ( Read more... ) -

So, I'm the kind of gal that, once I get an idea in my head, I usually NEED to do it right then! Especially when it comes to organization. So, a few days ago, I realized that 'Hey, if I cleaned out the closet in my craft room, I could put shelves in and get some bins and I'd save a TON of space putting stuff in there!'. So today we measured the ( Read more... ) -
its friday friday
I am exhausted today. Normally, Fridays are my sleep in days. I try to snooze until at least 9, when Pepper usually gets up. Normally I get up around 7:45-8:00 so I have an hour to myself in the morning. Well, Pepper woke up yelling that she needing a tissue at 8:30. SIGH. So not only did I not get my hour to myself, I didn't get to sleep in either ( Read more... ) -
Vidor
We're in Vidor this weekend. It was a last minute decision that I'm glad we followed through on. It's a far drive (4 hours), but we always have a good time here! Unfortunately, my diet so far today has been less than stellar. Well, let me back up ( Read more... )
