Each week I make salads (and sometimes breakfast) and place them in the fridge. Yesterday it struck me, as I placed the last of my Overnight Oats with Berries in the fridge, that the mason jars are taking over ample fridge real estate.

November Weigh In Day
It’s been a month, time to weigh in. The results, while not what I would have wanted, are not too surprising. But November is a month of changes.
October Weigh In Day
So, I’ve talked about it. I’ve posted about it. And now I’m actually doing it. I will be weighing myself on the 1st of every month (regardless of what day of the week it is).
My scale and I have called a truce
There are so many studies, websites, books and probably Twitter posts about not weighing yourself everyday. But do I listen? Nope. So each morning I would wake up and weigh myself. Some mornings I would be thrilled, others I would feel defeated, either way it would set the tone for the entire day. So I have called a truce with my scale and I feel liberated.
WW Membership is over but not my journey
Happy Fri-yay! (Some guy in Finance said that too me, so I’m going with it). What will happen to me, now that my Weight Watchers membership is over? Will I gain the weight back that I fought to lose? Will I chuck the salads on Sundays and replace it with cheeseburgers and fries?
No. I’ve come too far to do that to myself. But what will I do?
Sometimes it’s the little things and sometimes it’s …
Repost: April 7, 2016
Sometimes it’s the small things. Just yesterday I said to my son “hey look, my rings just slide off”. My 13 yr old was impressed. He’s seen me twist and pull my rings off. But yesterday my rings loosely turned on my finger. Woop Woop.
And sometimes it’s the big things.

Hey Damali, it worked
Repost: March 31, 2016
If you read my post a couple of days ago, you would have read Damali’s words of wisdom “Just because you get one flat tire doesn’t mean you slash the other three tires”. Well, I was so close to throwing in the towel on Monday, but I recalled these wise words and did my best to stay on plan. So even after a Turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. Plus late night chips and dip, deserts and of course Easter chocolate, I lost weight this week.
Wise words from my friend kept me on track
Repost: March 30, 2016
Just because you get one flat tire doesn’t mean you slash the other three tires. That’s what my friend Damali said to me a couple of months ago. Then on Monday this week, I heard them as I was debating making salads this week. My reasoning for not making the effort consisted of the following lame excuse: it’s already Monday and I’m not eating salad on Thursday/Friday this week (going out for good bye lunches, but that’s another story) so why bother.

It doesn’t always taste great
Repost: March 19, 2016
It doesn’t always taste great, this week I added a new salad and I’m sad to say, it was kinda awful. The Veggie Goat Cheese has now been removed. My mom has suggested I make the Antioxidant Salad. I did the research and I can make it for 7 Smart Points. Look for it on my list this weekend.
I’m going to set the same goal as the previous week, it works, I just didn’t do it this week.
What’s your song?
Repost: March 11, 2016
So, I set a goal for myself last week:
GOAL: this week I must exercise for 30 minutes (with at least 15 of that for cardio) before I can earn the “fit points” needed to play ESO.
GOAL UPDATE: It pays to set attainable goals, last week I managed to exercise 5 of the 7 days. And it paid. Continue reading “What’s your song?”
No this is not last weeks post
Repost: March 4, 2016
No I am not re-posting last week’s weigh in.
This, my friends, is what happens when you set an un-attainable goal. Last week my goal was the following: Continue reading “No this is not last weeks post”
Time to change things up a bit
Repost: February 26, 2016
At first glance, when you look at my weigh-in result, it looks like a minimal success. In fact, I quipped to the lady at WW “at least I didn’t go up”. In truth, I was more disappointed by this than if I’d gained. In my mind, I was upset that I didn’t lose like I did the previous week. Discouraged, I left the meeting (after it was done), drove home and stewed about this. Continue reading “Time to change things up a bit”
Trusting the plan
Repost: February 12, 2016
Another weigh in and I’m down 2.4 lb. So it seems that my plan is working. Yes, I might go up some weeks, as long as I’m eating right and working towards better fitness. Continue reading “Trusting the plan”
