Weight Loss Journey

Yet another hiatus from my blog.  Sometimes I find it hard to find things to write about because I’ve pretty much already told everyone I know what I’ve been up to via Twitter and Facebook.   It makes the blog seem a little pointless at times.   It sucks in a way, I miss writing here regularly. This summer has been pretty …

Well the blood work came back and the only thing that showed up was that my glucose was high.  I phoned the doctor and was surprised when All In Your Head Doc’s wife answered.   She was the ‘nice’ one (if you use a really wonky scale of what is nice, I mean).  Here’s the conversation: “Hello this is *Name*Birthday* calling …

If you had asked me a month ago if I had any space in my house I would have laughed.  Between me, the pets, my husband and all our furniture I felt like we were completely crowded. I SO wish I felt that way again right now. My parents left this morning and if I’m honest, I thought I’d be …

I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass.  I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the family tree that had one …

Today I crashed our payroll database at work… oops!!   I won’t get into how one manages to do that but it’s not that difficult, I mean I managed to do it easily enough!   I was a bit worried when my colleague told me I had done it, but then all the girls in my department cheered and told me that …

Between yesterday’s skinny theme and today’s PMS, I’m feeling like a total lardarse.   That’s not even mentioning the holiday weight gain.   There’s only one thing that gets me out of it…  a little bit of MIKA!   I mean, Baby Got Back is so yesterday.  I think this is my new love myself theme song. Seriously, even on days that my …

Ok, now this just ticks me off.  Who thought hot dogs could cause so much confusion and hassle. When I first moved here I found it so totally bizarre that they kept their hot dogs in bottles and cans with water… and not refrigerated.   I was used to hotdog’s in a plastic package in the cooler section.  How do these …

It’s now just a little over a month until we go back to Canada and I’m still trying to get off as much as I can before we leave.  Not just because I want to be as less fat as I can but also because I want to be as comfortable as possible in those ridiculously narrow plane seats. Since …

Passport – CHECK! Tickets – CHECK! Petsitters – CHECK! I AM GOING HOME! YAAAAAY!! Now all I have to do is wait until it’s time to go.  It’s not so bad because we leave in just a little over a month.   I know the time will go by fast though because it seems like just yesterday I was saying ‘Only …

This morning Xander and I went back to the walking track and I remembered to take my camera.   We did the full track again and it didn’t seem nearly as long as it did the first time.  After 30 minutes of hard walking I was beet red, as usual. I’m hoping one day I’ll be able to exercise without looking like …

Ok so Project Fatass has been back in action now for the past two weeks and things are going really well.  Keeping track of what I eat and my exercise helps a lot.  I stay within my calorie range every day and eat a lot more healthy food than I did before. It’s funny because I always thought of eating healthier …
