Tales and Scales


Had a nice evening with Dave. I needed to keep my dinner mild so we had Teriyaki chicken with some rice and broccoli. It was yummy! I played on the Wii for about 10 minutes and then bundled up to watch Idol and then went to bed. I was SO happy to sleep in my own bed!

Got on the scale this morning and I am down another lb. to 256. That is 1 lb. from my lowest on this journey. I am hoping that with the increase in activity: Wii and Personal Training that the lbs. will come off a little quicker. Slow and steady can be relentless sometimes...

I am feeling much better today, thank goodness. I was actually doing a naked happy dance this morning because I felt good and I can walk around the apartment wearing whatever I want (or not!) for the first time! It was very liberating. Sidenote: Today is the 1st day I have had coffee all week so that is another good sign. I missed my coffee!



I recently bought a Bissell Little Green Machine. I had heard that it worked really well on carpets and upholstery and I got it on sale for $99. Well, we used it on the carpet a few months ago and it worked well but I was not sure how it would do on the couch. Well while I was dog sitting, Dave did the couch and it looks WONDERFUL! It is a handy little gadget and I think it would work really well for families with small children. It is so lightweight that you could even get them to help you carry it. I would imagine you could find them on sale or on eBay for a little cheaper. I got ours at Bed, Bath & Beyond (I love that store!)

I am picking up my car at lunch time today. Bye bye, Mazda 5, I will miss you! I have an appt. with Grace (Personal Trainer) at 6:00 p.m. I wanted to mention that in addition to the book recommendations, she suggested I take a multi-vitamin which I do not do currently. She was not brand specific but Apex has a product line that includes vitamins and they are cheaper then retail so I signed up to get them on a monthly basis. They will be shipped automatically. Until next time...

  9. Hooray on the loss! Keep your focus and stay consistent and the pounds will keep coming off :) It's not a race, it's a lifestyle.

    Good luck with the personal trainer! They can be...grueling at times haha. Even I am terrified of them.

  12. Congratulations on your loss! I want one of those Little Green Machines, too. I have a big rug scrubber up in the attic and I NEVER use it. I need something for those everyday little 'mishaps.'
