Thanks to some poor planning and what is now two bouts with sickness I’ve gained back almost all the weight I’ve lost since the beginning of the year. I’m finding it hard to not depress myself about this. I’ve even caught myself looking for a reliable quick weight loss program despite everything I’ve previously said. [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dieting aspect of my life and the reasons why it’s so hard for me. I know some of it is due to the sedentary lifestyle I lead which is partially choice and partially the fibro. I need to take the choice part out of the equation and [...]

So, we’ve been at this a month now, though I forgot to update last week. This is this morning’s count. Doing very well, methinks.

I’m at 240 now, which is 8.4 since the start of the year, but 16 down overall since my highest point last year. Woohoo! No wonder I kept losing my jeans [...]

I’m down a pound since last week, which I’m surprised at, I haven’t done much walking this week because I’ve been sick with a mega-cold, and recovering from work which really did it in for me as I’ve mentioned several times.
So, to have lost a pound is awesome. Again I’m attributing this to [...]

So, as of today I’ve been on the new living plan a week. I was feeling a bit bummed about things because I wasn’t able to do the first “Couch to 5K” work out. It overextended me because well, I’m hideously out of shape, even more so than I thought and so after last Wednesday [...]

Last year I got up to 256lbs, which mortified me because I didn’t even weigh that much while I was pregnant. The highest pregnancy weight was 246, and while I was breastfeeding I got back down into the 220s. I was down to 234 at one point last year, but then I had the six-eight [...]

Our situation looks a little less dire today. Though all the stressing I’ve been doing lately I think I might actually have to start caring about the best wrinkle creams. I generally don’t bother, but I think I aged over the past few days. It may just be the lack of sleep and the upping [...]

I realized the other day that I’m at the lowest weight that I’ve been in almost three years. My lowest weight ever was 146 but given that’s when I was fourteen I don’t really count it. You could see my ribs, I looked very unhealthy. When I got married in 2005 I was 186, that [...]

I imagine that to most people who know me it’s no surprise that I absolutely love corsets. I have three right now, that I wish were proper corsets, but my budget cannot stretch to buying a Proper Corset, so instead I have the sort that still function like a corset but have zippers up the [...]

I signed up for Spark People…last year some time, or possibly even during 2007 before our epic move from the apartment to our current house. Things with it went by the wayside. I could either get so distracted I spent the entire day browsing around different things or completely forget about it for weeks.
I still [...]
