I’m leaving, on a jet plane…

to Canada!
Mom, Chrissie and I are set to fly out of OKC tomorrow afternoon, arrive in Toronto at 11:00pm tomorrow night, and return on Sunday.
I’ve not ever been to Toronto and am so excited. We’ll also be visiting Niagra Falls.
I’ll have photos to share when I get back… and daily points/food [...]

this ‘n that

When I weighed in on Saturday morning at WW, I was down 5.8 pounds from last Sunday when I started eating the WW way. Yay me! I was so excited. Still am, actually.
*********************************************
Today, a coworker said, “You know, if you drink too much water, it can cause confusion.”
Huh?

Today I used some of my weekly points allowance…. so I’m trying to not let myself feel like I was cheating. The points are there to be used sometimes, right?
Tomorrow morning is my first WW meeting. I’ll be there bright and early, getting registered and weighing in. I cannot wait! [...]

journal

Today I was starving all day long. I had pains in my stomach for what seemed like most of the day and felt like a bottomless pit was inside me.
Seriously. All. Day. Long.
Oh well, maybe that means I was burning off some fat!
I’m really looking forward to signing up with WW on [...]

diabetes in the news

I just read an article titled,“Activists Fight to Rewrite Disability Act,” by Joseph Shapiro
at npr.org. It’s about a Wal-Mart pharmacist in Nebraska who was fired because he is diabetic. He wears an insulin pump like DD(age11) does. I’m appalled that things like this are still going on.
Discrimination because the man has diabetes [...]

a book review

Last week, I received a book in the mail to review from Turner Publishing Company.
Historic Photos of Oklahoma Cityby Larry Johnson.
I grew up in Southeastern Oklahoma, Broken Bow to be exact, and moved to the Oklahoma City area in my early 20’s. I had not seen photos of the area in the late 1800’s [...]

accountability

After reading a lot of weight loss blogs lately and noticing that quite a few of the bloggers who have kept it off or are sticking with it/losing tend to post their daily food intake on their blog, I’ve decided to take the plunge.
I found a template for keeping a tally of daily points used [...]

measuring food

DD(age 11)’s blood sugar numbers have been running a little higher than normal lately. About a week ago, I watched DD pour a bowl of cereal and asked her how much she’d poured. She said, “One serving.. one cup.” When we measured it, it was 1 1/2 cups. She’d have only [...]

Weight Watchers

Today is my first day of Weight Watchers. Well, my first day for the second and last time.
One day I will have before and after photos to post here. I am eagerly anticipating that day.
