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 [...]

I’m Starving! No, You Really Aren’t!
I just read a forum post on myfitnesspal.com and it really hit home. To use the term “starving” in relation to your diet, as in “OMG, I’m starving, give me dinner!” is so inappropriate! Google images for “starving child” and the impact should make you think twice about ever using the term “starving” again! No, [...]
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 [...]
Life Insurance – I’m Preferred Plus!
Whoo hoo! I’m preferred plus! I applied for a level term life insurance policy and as stated on the info: Underwriting classes: based on current estimates, less than 30% of our applicants are likely to qualify for “Preferred Plus Non-Nicotine” rates…and guess what! I qualified! Granted, it’s only a $15 difference from Preferred to Preferred [...]
143.6 Eeek Gained!
Weighed in this morning, and it’s not good. I am not sure what happened, but I’m not going to let it discourage me. Weight fluctuation are a part of healthy weight maintenance. I think my body is going through some changes, and I have to stay calm, not panic and just figure out what’s going [...]
Making Some Spring Adjustments – Diet, Fitness, Food, Mental Outlook
I’m making this post public for complete personal accountability. It’s the only way I’m going to be able to get through this rough patch and stick to my healthy lifestyle plan! I can’t allow this to discourage me or set me back into old habits! So, I’ve lowered my calories by 30 over at MyFitnessPal. [...]
141 – Up a Little Bit, but Not For Long
I’ve been extra hungry lately…eating extra calories. I’m not making bad food choices, but still going over my total calories. Sometimes you just need an extra “kick in the pants” to set you straight. I weighed in this morning, and was a touch over 141 pounds. I don’t think the weight I’ve gained is anything [...]
Size 10 Jeans!
We went up to LL Bean Outlet this afternoon to check out jeans. I had a gift card credit. They had a ton of clothes on sale @ 50% off! There was a small section of jeans, and I immediately picked out a couple of size 12 tall (and med tall). I had figured out [...]
See You Next Year
It’s New Year’s Eve! We’re going to splurge. Our last dinner of 2010 is going to be Italian, I’m thinking I’ll pick up take out from the Macaroni Grill. Something extravagant and yummy! So, what about New Year resolutions? I don’t recommend general “weight loss” resolutions. Why? Because weight loss starting in the winter, right [...]
Happy Merry Christmas To All
It was a great Christmas! Just relaxing and hanging out today! Trying to get back to normal eating! I think I’m on sugar overload! LOL Didn’t do too horribly badly eating this weekend. Friday night we were at the inlaws for Christmas Eve, eating comfort foods I eat probably only once a year. Hot dogs [...]
