Food Intake for Day 36 – 932.5 – 17.02 carb

BP’s battery died while he was on the road, so I had a ridiculously light afternoon, after a busy and rather entertaining morning. Hearing BP get annoyed with a fashion designer on a conference call was so funny. He just kept saying, we’re paying you to do this, why would you send us [...]

Setting the Goal Weight?

My mother and I are very close, much more like sisters at times than mother and daughter.
About weight, we’re a wee bit competitive, as is the entire family. (See Obsessions and Body Image – Day 4 – 153.4 , which was 31 days and ten pounds ago!)
In the years when we were the same [...]

Food Intake for Day 35 – 915 – 9.33 carb

Big luncheon today: they placed pecan pie with a crushed pecan topping served with whipped cream at each place before the lunch started. Nothing like one of my all time favorite desserts staring me in the face for 90 minutes. And yet, absolutely no interest whatsoever. I love low carb living because [...]

My Interesting Exes — Inspired by “Why I Voluntarily Live With a Crazy Person”

One of my favorite blogs is Eleanor’s Trousers. She writes beautifully, and I often find things to think about when I read her. As I was winding down after an action-packed and conversation-filled day yesterday, I read this post: Why I Voluntarily Live With a Crazy Person. Basically, it’s all of [...]

The Ex Factor: Mini-Rant to My Friends Who Don’t Even Know this Site Exists

When I tell you I am recovering from the breakup, that is NOT the time to start quizzing me on the details of how I’ve moved on.

Yes, he still has a toothbrush here — he cat-sits when I travel and he used to stay here one night a week (in a non-romantic, non-sexual way).
Yes, he [...]

“OMG, You Look So Thin!”

That’s what every girl loves to hear — especially one working so hard to get back in shape.
That’s exactly what I heard when I showed up for a luncheon today from a young, statuesque woman who has known me for years.  It felt amazing.
I was able to wear a fitted short blazer (size 6) and [...]

Out of Sorts – Day 35 – 144.8

My weight is stable from yesterday, and that’s fine. I had the feeling I would be gaining and that did not happen.
Something doesn’t feel quite right: I have a bit of a temperature, I feel slightly bloated, and, honestly, I am a bit bummed about politics for reasons I may discuss at some [...]

Food Intake for Day 34 – 1045 – 8.48 carb

I think I finally got my food balance right! Very low carb, and calories are on point. I am very pleased.
I am starting to get some pms-related pain. Back is killing me, and I am having some fibroid pain. I was concerned enough that I called the ex to remind me [...]
