Weigh-in Day without the weigh-in

I didn't actually weigh myself so I am not exactly sure how much I gained. I am figuring about 400 grams. But in all honesty, we are at the start of a new week, so I'm forgetting last week and starting over.

I've planned an afternoon hike with mr. ralph, and although he wasn't really all that keen on it, he is going anyway. And that should get me off on the right foot. Plus I think this week I'm going to cut out bread, and potatoes again. Not a no-carb week, but a low-carb one.

I trotted over to the consignment store to drop off a few more clothing items that are in great condition, but too big for me (yippie!) and discovered she had sold a denim shirt of mine that I didn't even like. That is the only thing she has sold. Weird, but it was a $10.50 (50%) chunk of change for me that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Last night I drank a half bottle of wine an a few beers. I think alocohol is my enemy #1. I don't know how to say no, and quite often I just don't want to. It sucks that nobody has made 0 calorie alcohol.

I've recieved a few emails regarding the incident from last week where I sent a well-meaning letter to a fellow blogger and then misread her site thinking she was upset by it. Although I wish I could take back my assumption that she was referring to me, to save a lot of heartache on both sides, some good has come of it. I've discovered a new friend in the process, and learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes it is best to let things sit before jumping to conclusions.

I have to say I was really blown away by all the compliments on my hair from yesterday's entry. You guys are so darling and sweet to say you like it. I had a few compliments at work as well. People seem to think it suits my personality, I'd have to say I agree.

Looking around last night at the club we went to, long hair is what is hot. It is always what is hot, but being different is something I like. I don't want to be just anybody, and have a completely average look. So thanks again for all the praise.


At the moment all is quiet around here as mr. ralph and the baby Buckley are having a nap. And for all you Scavenger hunters from Michele's place, if you find out what my clue is could you tell me (in an email of course so as not to ruin the game) because I haven't a clue myself.

oh my gosh - what and where is the consignment shop? I have just given away maybe 100 pieces of clothing. sigh.
i forget, did i say i liked your hair yet? i can't remember if i posted. i've been having such trouble getting into blogger comments this past week. either way, i like your hair!

i haven't been out dancing for so long. i love to dance. awesome exercise.

i figured out which scavenger hunt clue was mine but i think it was pretty obvious...the reference to argyle coule have only meant me.

They do make 0 calorie alcohol -- American light beer. Oh, wait. It's 0 taste....
I have the same problem, especially when Don travels. All of a sudden I will realize that I've drunk a bottle of wine -- mostly out of boredom.

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
