On the go

May 30, 2011

The last 2 weeks have been consumed with vacations, work retreats and long, holiday weekends.  I’m not going to lie, it’s been a heck of a lot of fun!  But it hasn’t left much time for blogging.  Last weekend, Jeff and I went to Boston with another couple for the weekend to watch the Cubs play at [...]

The Plateau

May 18, 2011

So today, like any other Wednesday, I went to my Weight Watchers weigh-in.  I haven’t talked about this too much on the blog, but I’m on a major plateau.  Like, seriously major plateau.  I’ve lost and gained the same 2-3 lbs for the last 10 weeks.  TEN WEEKS. That’s a long time to see the scale budge [...]

My take on Bikram

May 16, 2011

I said as part of my Phase II plan that I was going to spend some time doing types of exercise that I hadn’t tried before and/or hadn’t done in the long 18 weeks that I spent training for the marathon. So, I recently decided to try Bikram Yoga.  I bought a Living Social deal [...]

That just happened.

May 5, 2011

Last night’s Once-a-week dinner.  Fish Tacos!  These were a big success! I used a combination of this recipe and this recipe and the total for 2 tacos was only 9 points+!  I was very excited.  I used frozen tilapia filets (from Wegmans) cabbage, cilantro, onion… all ingredients you can easily obtain!  These were a great sucess. I [...]

I swore I wouldn’t!

May 4, 2011

I did something today I swore I wouldn’t do. I deliberately skipped my Weight Watchers meeting. I convinced myself that I was feeling positive about my progress (which I am) and that I can tell that my clothes fit better (which they are, even the ones I bought here) and that I was getting feedback [...]
