Since we’re having severe thunderstorms today (that’s what happens on Friday when it’s 68 degrees on Thursday and supposed to be 35 and snowing on Saturday), that precludes another nice brisk walk around the neighborhood. Since the Gluts and Quads were feeling a little sore from yesterday’s activity, I decided to go with something a [...]

Activity Report 2/26/09
I’ve been frustrating myself by stepping on the new digital scale a couple of times a day—and seeing absolutely no movement in the numbers whatsoever (except for its being five pounds higher at night than it is in the morning). Even though I’ve been sticking to my meal plan for the week (actually eating less [...]

Alternative Asian Favorites
One of these recipes (the alternative egg rolls) was in the Hungry Girl e-mail today. The other one is a recipe that I found a while back and adjusted to work with the ingredients I like to work with.

I’m Embarrassed
Yes, there’s a reason (an excuse) for why I didn’t post my weight loss journal last week. Because after losing almost 12 pounds in 3 weeks, I was up 2.8 pounds last week. And if I’d journaled that last week, I would have had to admit that I fell off the wagon multiple [...]
