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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
