Yay! I’m half way through my October Unprocessed 2011 challenge! There have been a couple of flubs along the way, but I’m not worrying too much. Life is too short to beat yourself up with too much nitpicking. In general, I think I am doing a great job with the challenge. And a bonus! I [...]

136 – Low, probably TOO Low
I weighed in this morning at 136 pounds. Yeah, that’s a bit too low I think. I’m happy with 137, 138. I think it’s time to increase the calories back up to 1700 or 1800. I’ve been doing okay keeping to around 1650, give or take a few calories. I’m just happy to be back [...]
Whoo HOOO! 138.6
I weighed in again this AM. I was a bit nervous actually. I thought perhaps yesterday was a fluke and maybe I was back up. Funny my body “felt” thinner when I was heavier at 141.8 and this morning, I “felt” heavier. But yay, the scale showed 138.6. I’m definitely feeling back to normal. I [...]
Getting Back On Track! 140!
Yes! I think I’m getting back on track. I weighed in this morning at 140! Yay! I still have a little tiny bit more to go, but I’m happy. I feel “lighter” physically and emotionally! I was a little discouraged, but determined yesterday! After I made my public confession both on MyFitnessPal and here on [...]
Confessions of a Compulsive Eater – 141.8
Okay, confession time. This summer was brutal. While on our vacations, I ate a lot lot lot of sugary foods, & it seems like it made my “compulsive” eating issues come alive a little bit. It was getting harder and harder to say “no” to foods that I shouldn’t be eating. This weekend, I didn’t [...]
No, NO NOO. I Am NOT Gaining!
So, I’ve been weighing myself regularly (once or twice weekly +) and this AM I was shocked to see 141.6 on the scale! I haven’t been that much over 140 since April! I was 139.6 last week. I admit a couple of days, I went over by 100-200 calories, but there were days I was [...]
Old Jeans from the 1980′s
Well, since I’m on a nice “high” from my size 8 jeans purchase at LL Bean, I decided to dig out an old pair of high-wasted acid washed jeans from the 80′s. I held them up, and thought no way. They won’t fit, but guess what, they did! Whoo hoo! I couldn’t believe it. I [...]
My 2 Year Anniversary!
Darn! I missed my 2 year anniversary! It was on Wednesday the 20th, I thought it was the 23rd! Oh well. What’s important is I made it though another year. 2 years ago, a friend posted an inspirational quote on her Facebook profile and it profoundly altered my life forever. God grant me the serenity [...]
Size 8!! High School Baby!
We went to the LL Bean Outlet store today and found three pairs of their “favorite cut” jeans on sale and paid $26 for all three! Success! And the ultimate best best part is that I’m now wearing a size 8! That’s the size I was in high school (I think). Or at least in [...]
Back from Vacation – 137.2
On Wednesday, we came back from an extended 4th of July holiday and I’m happy that I’ve maintained my weight. Weighed myself this AM @ 137.2 (gave myself a couple of days for sodium water retention to dissipate.) We ate a lot of sugary snacks – ice cream and dessert cakes, but we walked a [...]
