I've had a couple of days recently where I thought that by the end of the day I would be well over my deficit calorie goals. And I was, but the end tally for those days ended up being maintenance numbers, not the big blow outs I was worried about before logging dinner. (I'm trying out getting a handle on portion control…

It's King Cake season now in Louisiana. Some sadistic co-worker brought one in this morning that is actually a huge ring doughnut stuffed with cream cheese. Not even tempted- possibly because I just can't wrap my mind around what it's supposed to be, but I'm just not curious enough/willing to give up the calories to find…

When my dad was going through chemo I vividly remember having a hard time finding things to talk about while we were all there all the time, basically sitting around watching the IV drip. I think it will be tremendously helpful that you're not there all the time because then when you are, there will be fresh topics of…

It was nice to walk away from the table not being uncomfortably full. I enjoyed the foods I don't eat very often, and stopped with just a little dessert. I did make my cup of traditional after-dinner holiday afternoon coffee like I used to, though, with lots of cream and sugar. And I didn't drink any alcohol because I was…

I want to actively work towards some of my bucket list items in 2019 (instead of just writing them down and dreaming about doing them). So, when I'm no longer lying about my weight on my driver's license...which should be sometime this spring...I'm finally going to take a class and get my motorcycle classification. I…

A small one from this morning: I stopped to get my morning coffee and the one parking spot left was only 3/4 available because the nice person in the next spot to the right couldn't park for kitten. So, I rolled into it and had to slide out of my car without hitting the car on my left..which meant I could only open my door…

I still have a VHS player and the Star Wars films before the "special editions" were released. I like the dance scene in the Ewok village with the original music.

Yoga has been on my bucket list of exercises to take part in. Because studios around here are scarce (and REALLY expensive), I'm starting Yoga with Adrienne this month. I want to finish her 30 day course.

Spaghettios. Any variation is just sickly sweet to me now.

There have been times in my life where I wished either one of my parents had written something like this to me and my brother. Yes, they might be mad at you for a while, but eventually (at least if it were me) the message would sink in. I think you did the right thing, though I would also say not to pursue it any further.…

If you like detective/serial killer type stories, and don't mind subtitles, La Mante is excellent (but very disturbing). I also liked the Lost in Space remake.

I also used to add a lot of creamer and sugar, and had a three large mug a day habit. But I (surprisingly quickly for me) cut back to one cup of coffee, measured the creamer, and replaced the sugar with a dash of cinnamon. That cut my calorie hit from my coffee from 200 to 62, which I happily live with. Perhaps I'll switch…

Another one for pickles! Ice cold dill pickles are the best!! I'm eating cottage cheese with cinnamon and a little left over graham cracker crumbs at the moment (because I ran out of pickles), trying to convince myself it's "cheese cake." Yeah, that's not working. I've got the protein cheese cake recipe from this site…

I fit into a smaller size of jeans today, straight out of the dryer and with no contortionism/laying on the bed/ sucking in required. They're very comfortable, for the first time in probably a year, and remained comfortable during and after Thanksgiving lunch.
