Gaining Confidence – Weigh In

That’s me! In shorts!
Yep; wearing shorts. In public. For a picture. (Excuse the hair; it was early morning and then add in humidity… YUCK!)
I don’t remember the last time I wore shorts. Seriously. I know it was sometime prior to my honeymoon in 2004. (Because I remember that I had a rough time with how hot [...]

Weekly Wrap-Up

Since I picked Saturday as my “weigh in” day, I figure I’ll use my blog to keep track.
I greatly wish I had better news. But, I said I’m being open and honest. I’m not “starting over” with each slip up. Because this isn’t a diet. This is my new life. And you can’t just start [...]

Any loss is a … win?

Well… I lost. I should be excited. (I am, a little.) But this blog is about being honest. So, I’ll be honest. I’m disappointed. The last time I did WW, I lost 8 pounds my first week. This time? 2.3 pounds.

Don’t get me wrong, a loss is a loss. But… before Christmas I was down [...]
