W.O.W. Weekly Check-In

Today is Thursday, that means I had to get on the dreaded scales.  At least this week there was a little progress and it showed me down .6 pounds.  Hey, that’s over 2 sticks of butter so that’s not bad (that was more for me, not you, I have to look at it in sticks [...]

14 Blissful Years

Ok, so maybe they haven’t all been blissful but today is my 14th wedding anniversary.  I swear I’m not old enough to have been married 14 years but that little piece of paper tells me other wise.  Actually, that little piece of paper is missing, we needed it a few months ago I thought I [...]

How Was Your Weekend?

My weekend was very nice.  It started on Friday night when my mom came to stay the night with me.  When she got there we went for a 2 mile walk back in the woods.  Then I heated up a pizza since we had worked up an appetite walking.  Then she gave me a pedicure, [...]

It Was A Good Idea . . .

I told you last week that I joined a program called WOW last week and here’s my update.  Maybe having to report to all of you every week will also help motivate me to do better.
Since April 28th I have lost a grand total of 3.2 pounds.  Last week I lost .4 pounds.  Not quite [...]
