My husband took this photo of me at about 8am in the morning.  We left the house sometime around 7:30am to go for a short ride while the wind was low and the sun was out a bit. It was so peaceful and lovely, I was in heaven!  I’m so glad that we are both early birds and enjoy doing …

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 …

This morning I went off to the city center to meet up with the ladies from the Rotterdam Stitch’n’Bitch group.  I had gotten together with them on Tuesday evening as well and decided to go see who is there on Saturday mornings.  It was busier today, with 10-12 people as opposed to the four of us who were there on …

As we were walking home from the marathon on Sunday my husband was walking ahead of me because I kept stopping to take photos.  He came running back telling me to come quick and see this truck.  I couldn’t figure out what would make him think any truck would really interest me, until I saw it. TAMMY TRANS!  That’s my …

Today’s we had an early visit from the Easter Bunny! Clearly nobody has ever warned him about chicks on diets…

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 …

One of the things from my 101 List that I’ve been most keen to do is start riding my bike again.  I’ve not ridden my bike in the last number of years because I never found it comfortable.  To put it bluntly, I’ve been too fat and self-conscious. We bought it about 5 years ago because I wanted to join …

Yesterday morning we woke up and it was foggy and grey. Not exactly what we hoped for on a Sunday morning but it would have to do.  I had a lot of housework that I was avoiding, so I asked my husband how he’d feel about going for a drive so I could take some photos.  He was up for …

Over the years I’ve had a lot of issues with seasonal depression.  Not something I’ve ever suffered from in Canada, but it hit me quick and hard here in the Netherlands.   I wasn’t expecting it but it happened, and it continued to happen for the past 10 years.  Granted, for the first half of that time I was often quite …
