Let's talk student loans. let me hear your story
I have student loans. A lot of student loans. I got sold again this week. They sold me despite making my payments on time, and now I have no clue who is supposed to get money from me. The nitwits on the phone barely sounded sober and seemed very unorganized. In my search for answers, I found out about a House Resolution…

how to cope with exhaustion?
I'm waiting to get in to see a specialist for a medical issue. Those folks are harder to get in to see than gaining an audience with the Pope. Part of the issue is that I am so tired, An exhaustion I can not begin to describe with words. I realize being tired goes with this thing, but this is a level of tired I did not…

have you checked your thyroid?
Are you cold? are you losing hair, fingernail changes? Are you so tired you could sleep as an Olympic event? are your eyelashes falling out, weird bloating? do you have a lump in your throat? and most importantly, have you hit some wall where no matter how hard you log, weigh and measure, work out through pain, tired, and…

the great journey in search of rice
I'm not feeling really great today. My food has been bland and comfort sort of things I normally don't eat often. Tonight my dinner was yogurt and plain white rice. While that sounds simple enough to log, I scanned in the yogurt label. Easy and done. My rice is stored in a canister and the barcode is long gone. I weigh out…

my doctor thinks I am a weird freak now....
A week or so back I had to see the doctor about a few things. Had blood tests done, all turned out well with those. Anyway, the subject of my weight and last menstrual cycle came up. Ever ready and tickled pink I whip my little paper notebook out of my purse and ask what day she wanted to know my weight from and which…

"on the wagon" , "off the wagon"... there is no WAGON!
For the last week I have been seeing posts everywhere about this stupid wagon. Some are getting back on it, others claim to have fallen off it, yet others can't seem to catch the wagon to fall off of just to climb back on it again. THERE IS NO WAGON! You can't fall off something you refuse in the first place. Do you really…

Ok, this is been bothering me. A lot. 2 years ago this month I started a journey to lose weight. I did it and have been maintaining since about February of last year. I'm married. My husband has been mostly supportive and not overly or actively attempted to derail the new lifestyle. He seems pleased with the changes.…

what to try when you tried it all?
I have been logging my food for 350 days. 350 days. I have lost 50 pounds. I have 14ish to go. This is my 3rd plateau. I broke the first one with fasting. The second one by trying eat more to lose more, That resulted in an 8 pound gain over the 3 months I gave that. I got those 8 pounds back off by going back to 1200-1500…

Drink the Ben-Gay or apply it?
So I have had this gym membership for a while. I decided since I have had absolutely no weightloss since Halloween. Not one single pound lost, just flat lined. That I would use said gym membership. So yesterday was day 1 of this madness. I made a few observations after deciding that I really know nothing of reading…

Where lost pounds and socks go, just my theory :)
So, now that I have lost 28 pounds, I'm starting to wonder where they go. I realize scientifically that the body uses them for fuel. But that can't be the whole of it. I mean I lose socks all the time in the washer. Both of those lost things have to go somewhere, right? The universe isn't just creating a a black hole and…

not a scale victory, not even a victory. jeans gone wrong
I have lost 20 pounds. I am now down to 189. All of my jeans (currently a 12) are all baggy. Becoming a problem baggy. So in my infinite wisdom I decided new jeans, at least one pair were needed. I went shopping with hope and joy and even a bit of pleasure in my heart. The joy of shopping has never been there for me since…

Basil-Avacado Pesto Shrimp with spaghetti squash
I made this tonight while craving angel hair pasta. I have been pasta, grains, refined sugars, prepackaged processed food free for 2 months now. So keep that in mind when I say it tasted very close to the recipe I adapted. This feeds about 4 people. 1 medium to large spaghetti squash. Cut in half lenght wise placed face…
