Slow cooker weight loss in a microwave society and other ridiculous musings...
So it's the start of a new year and here I am...AGAIN...trying to figure out what is so broken in me the that I can't seem to get a handle on this food/weight loss/health thing. I'm not stupid, I have worked in the nursing profession for the last 28 years and have a good insight into the biology of the human body. I can do…

Ready to get back to it
I just returned today from a week's vacation in Florida. Had a great time and walked A LOT! I initially tried to log my food but between our jam packed itinerary and eating out for most meals it felt like a losing battle. Since I am a person that thrives on routine, I'm glad to be back home and get back to basics.…

Vacation anxieties
I've been on and off MFP for the last 4 years. Gaining and losing, gaining and losing. But about 3 weeks ago after a night out with friends, something clicked in my soul and I was tired of feeling like the short, fat, misfit of the group. Nothing that anyone said or did made me feel this way, but it was just that sense of…

Hangin' on by a thread!
I am definitely a stress eater! Work has been so chaotic today I'm barely holding it together. Trying desperately not to eat everything in sight! So far so good, but I'm definitely at the tipping point. Good vibes sent my way are definitely appreciated!

NSV
I have a coworker that frequently brings in donut holes for everyone to share. It is a definite weakness for me. I could dive into the box and eat my way out. But today I didnt have even one! Winning!! Not today you dirty little delicious grease balls...not today!

Just for today....
Just for today I will... 1. Stop beating myself up for being a slacker the past couple month. 2. I will faithfully log my food, water, and exercise. 3. I will worry about tomorrow...tomorrow. Just for today.

Starting over
I completely the first 2 weeks of C25K and then got sidelined by a wicked cold. I imagine I'll have to start all over. A little discouraged but determined to make it happen. Has anyone else had this happen?

Ugh!
I had a wonderful weekend with my BFF who I hadn't seen in over a year because she lives in Florida. I took Thursday, Friday, and Monday off work to spend with her. But my normal routine and eating habits took quite a hit. I don't think I ate one meal at home the entire long weekend. Plus it was her birthday on Friday so…

My first NSV!
I have been feeling a little bummed since yesterday morning when I weighed in because the scale says I gained half a pound. However, that is coming off of a 3.8 lbs loss the week before. So, I realize that's a normal thing to happen....still it made me grinch a little yesterday. But this morning, when I got to work I…
