Weight Loss Journey

The other day I was feeling particularly crap and for some absurd reason thought that would be a good time to step on the scale. Uhhh, no.  Crappy feelings x100 when I realized that I’d gained back 25 of the 30 lbs I’d lost last year.   I was so disgusted with myself that something clicked in my brain and once …

… but it’s finally here! Today was such a great day, we woke up and the sun was shining and it was like summer had been here all along.   People were out in their shorts and tank tops enjoying the weather, it was great. At 11am we went to see the new Fantastic Four movie, which was really good!  Part …

Today I had an appointment with my dietician.  It has been a few weeks since I’ve seen her and I was dreading the weigh in because I knew I hadn’t lost as much as I could have during that time.  I made my usual trek to the hospital and when I rounded the corner to the dietician’s waiting room it …

It’s so hard to stick to sensible eating this time of year and it’s just as bad here in the Netherlands as back in Canada! During the holiday season these stands can be found all over the Netherlands.   On shopping streets, train stations, tram stops… absolutely everywhere.  They are filled with freshly baked Dutch treats… and it smells sooooo good!  …

I know it’s been a long time since I wrote about my Project Fatass progress, I think it was because I felt like I wasn’t making any. I’m not sure who Michal Keach is, nor do I care… but I do know that I’ve now lost as much as that big ugly fish weighs.  I seem to have a thing …

It’s that time of year again when I start gushing over how much I love the fall.  I did it last year… and the year before, twice even!  So why should this year be any different? This weekend we went to a big Thanksgiving dinner for an expat group I belong to for expat women in Holland.  One of the …

Last night we went out for dinner at the Dream Cafe (formerly known as the American Dream Cafe) here in Rotterdam. It was a gathering for a group I belong to for expat women.   We had a reservation for 6:30pm but when we got there they didn’t have the reservation, eek! Luckily, Happy Waiter was working and he gave us tables …

A while back I signed up for a few sites to have blog reviews done, just for shits and giggles. Today another one of the reviews came in from Frog My Blog and it was pretty good. I got 4 out of 5 bugs and the only complaint they had really was the colors of my theme. It does seem …

Last night I had yet another fucked up dream… which most of mine usually are. I have lost most of it from my memory but these are parts I remember: A talking horse that was small, more like a pony.  He was white with spots and was smarter than me. A skinny geeky guy in a huge truck type thing, …

Ok I haven’t been biking in ages, nor have I done any exercising in the last while because any shortness of breath would probably cause me to cough up a lung. In any case, I’m down 1 lb more this week! Which brings me to 25 pounds lost so far!! That’s exactly as much as the dude’s fish in this …

That would be me… banging on death’s door.  I feel like my face is on fire, and someone injected way too much liquid into every opening in my head and it’s all coming gushing back out. Like… someone poured acid down my throat that magically turns into green goo upon reaching it’s destination. Having a cold SUCKS.  Sure, colds are …
