Water Works

31Mar07

I got the cutest little water jug today. I picked it up at Wal-Mart. I haven’t yet figured out it’s precise capacity, but I’m thinking it’s a quart. In any case, it’s orange and has a sports bottle top. I’d take a picture, but it’s currently chilling out in the fridge, full of water. [...]


Well, I decided to start doing things by measuring them. Such as…..tonight I made Hamburger Helper (not a great diet food, I know) with ground turkey instead of beef. I made sure to get out a measuring cup and measure out just 1 cup, which is what a serving is when it’s prepared. Tomorrow when [...]


I fell off the wagon again. This is the last time I get fruit snacks or nuts for a snack.
I wasn’t in the mood for my snack bars, so I got a couple packets of fruit snacks (220 calories each) and a couple packets of nuts (310-330 calories each) I ate one of the nuts [...]

Well, today’s walk is complete. 1 block over, 4 blocks up, 1 block back over, 4 blocks back to home. The dog is doing his happy pant as we come in the door, then gets his treat, and lays down. Mom however, does not get a treat for she is on a diet. LOL

Interesting

25Mar07

I found THIS article while surfing the web. I liked it, I liked it a lot, even though I’m really not a fan of diet tips. LOL Not all of these may work for everyone, but I suppose one could always try them.
I’m starting the Special K diet in earnest tomorrow. Or Monday…..not [...]


Whoops!

23Mar07

I’ve fallen WAY off the wagon. Attention all fellow weight loss people….beware of the awesome food at Olive Garden! LOL It’s really easy to go out of that place feeling like you’ll explode. I had to take my entree home twice in a row because I was so full of breadsticks. *sigh*
I walked Wednesday but [...]


I’ve been naughty today. I’ve overeaten. I went to Olive Garden for my best friend’s birthday party and I just couldn’t stick with the salad……I had to have the real food. LOL
I didn’t walk my dog yesterday, but as I’d left for work early and I was feeling guilty, I took the long way to [...]
