Parasailing? Seriously?

April 27th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife, P90X

Yeah, life’s a little crazy again. Hopefully things will settle down after this weekend and I can get into some type of blog routine. More for me than you. Still chugging along on the P90X project. Even though I started two weeks ago and am a workout away from completing a two week cycle of [...]

Happiness and the Ho-(Hos)

March 8th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife

I sometimes think I have this weight problem thing backwards. From what I’ve seen in the movies, on TV and in books, it seems to me that women are most prone to eating tubs of Ben & Jerry’s followed by a dozen Jolly Pirates following a breakup of a relationship, a bad job review, a [...]

The Lose It Plan

March 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife

So, I’ve had this “plan” the last three days… When I got my iPod Touch at Christmas, I downloaded this nifty app called, “Lose It”. Yeah, a weight loss gizmo that works by you putting in your food and exercise for the day to keep track of where your mouth and ass have been. For [...]

The Dawning of the Age of Aquariass

March 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife, Just Thoughts, Uncategorized, weight loss (again)

Since I take a sort of sadistic-humorous pleasure in nicknaming myself “the fat girl”, (with help from dad, because that’s kind of been his pet name for me for a long time. It wasn’t created from maliciousness, it was a defense mechanism. He’s about 3 inches shorter than me, so I call him “shorty”. It [...]

You and Your “I Can’t” Need to Take a Hike.

February 16th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife

So, yeah. Remember me? The one who owns this blog? Yeah. Bet you thought I got lost in a sprinkle factory, huh? Heck, I don’t blame you. It certainly would have been a much more exciting two week missing span of time in my life to discuss–unfortunately, it’s not. Again on the mysterious bent, let’s [...]

Attitude (And Belt) Adjustment

January 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment · FoodLife, Just Thoughts, weight loss (again)

In contemplating the many reasons for my diets (if you want to call them that) failing in the past, one of the biggest, IMHO (which is all that matters here on my blog) is the need, the necessity and the basic human compulsion to get results right away. By results, I don’t mean progress. I [...]

The “F” Word

January 11th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife, Just Thoughts

Don’t revolt. My title’s not referring to the F word you’re thinking of. (Potty mouth!) I’m thinking of the other F word– Fat. Most of my adult life (for me, it began at age 19, when I got married), I’ve thought of and referred to myself as fat. The fat girl, fatso, fatty-licious. Even my [...]

Shut Up and Say Thank You

January 7th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife, Just Thoughts

Have you ever had a problem and not known you’ve had a problem until someone mentions it? Maybe you’re always tapping your pencil when you think. Or pacing the room when you’re nervous. Or randomly stealing silverware from fancy restaurants. Whatever your vice, when it’s brought up, brought out into the open, it’s almost see [...]

The List of Why I'm Pissed

October 6th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife

Just a word of warning…this might be a long post, but if that bugs you–tough. It’s my blog. I’m feeling the urge to write, and I’ve got a solid hour before I even think about bedtime. Take those two reasons combined with the fact that I’ve really started feeling crappy about my personal health (yes, [...]

Still here

August 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment · FoodLife

I’m still here, battling the forces of sugar and evil. About to put on my mask and cape (so slimming!) to head to the state fair where I know I’ll lose a minimum of one deep-fried battle. I’m still jogging, albeit at a slower clip since coming back from a week at summer camp. I’ll [...]
