Weight Loss Journey

No, even though it may seem like it, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I’ve just been laying low and getting back into the swing of things after returning to the Netherlands.  I’ve not been feeling particularly bloggy and I figured I’d wait until I did rather than trying to force it. Anyhow, this is about …

No I don’t mean me, you dick. Ok maybe I do, sorta.  Still, it wasn’t nice of you to just assume it was about me.  Just sayin’. This is The Fat Lady: No, seriously, the fish is actually called The Fat Lady!  Check the link if you don’t believe me. Anyway, you know what a fish means!  That’s right, I …

The map was created with my favorite handy dandy My Tracks application for Android. Today my husband and I went on a nice long bike ride around Rotterdam.  He was finally over his throat infection, I was over my minor cold and the sun was shining again… it was time to get out there!  Initially we planned on a short …

Today me (middle), Penny (right) and Laila (left) got up bright and early and went into the city center to see the new Sex and The City movie.  We chose to go early on a Saturday so that they could arrange child care and we’d have time for lunch and shopping afterward.  I won’t get into too much about the …

On March 6th I had finally lost 50 lbs.  It took me a while to lose the last 1-2 lbs to get there, which feels silly I mean it’s ONLY 1-2 lbs.  It seemed to go on forever though as I had reached that dreaded plateau everyone told me was coming.  Since then I’ve been teeter tottering back and forth …

Now that I have finally broken the 50 lbs lost point and Project Fatass has made it through winter, it’s time to move on to another goal.  I won’t say what it is because I’m still too embarrassed by the numbers, but it’s 8 lbs away.  Sound easy, right?  Yeah, not really.  Having already done 50 lbs another 8 lbs …

I HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS!!! Of course, like 19 and 25 lbs on my last attempt, and my recent 30 lbs this must be celebrated with a fish!  This fish weighs exactly 50 lbs 2 oz, which is how much I have lost as of this morning!  What a relief!  I was beginning to think that pound was never going to go. You …

This morning was weigh in day.  I got on the insult machine, looked down and told it to go fuck itself. It would appear that  making that 1 pound my bitch is going to be more difficult than I thought.  Instead, my body was all like HA, I’ll take your 1 pound and see you a half a kilo.  Then …

I know I’m late to the party with the whole New Year ‘resolution’ thing, but I needed some time to think about it.  I don’t actually do resolutions, it’s really not my thing.  Mostly because I’m a big quitter and I never keep them.   There are some things I would really like to see happen during the new year though. …

Today I am in the best mood.  I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of feeling sad and blue I …

Check it out, it’s Michal Keach again!  Still no idea who he is, but he’s still serving a purpose for me.   For the 2nd time in the past 3 years I am once again down THIRTY POUNDS (14 kilos / 2.1 stones)!!  Well, 33 lbs as of today, but 30 lbs as of my last weigh in on Monday.  So …
