Another year older and what have you done?

Yesterday was the official day of my birth. What a wonderful day I had! When I woke up mr. ralph made me breakfast in bed. It was a healthy one too: wholegrain toast, poached egg and lean bacon. What a good boy!

The he gave me his pressie, a gift certificte to a bead shop in the city markets. He knew I had the day off and it was the perfect gift. I spent a few hours there making that gorgeous necklace you see me wearing in the pic.

After spending some time around the city I realised I hadn't had any lunch but knew I was getting a treat to go out for dinner.

And boy was it ever a treat! After getting dressed up and getting in the taxi I saw the business card of the place (mr. ralph was trying to keep it secret) as he handed it to the driver.


We went to the Lenzerheide. This was my 3rd time to eat there. Talk about fantastic! We both had their special soup for a starter. It is the most delish potato/bacon soup ever made. Then I had fish and mr. ralph had some kind of stuffed chicken. I had a bite. Yum. And I did have some dessert but we split it.


I had a few birthday messages, one left on here from Beck (thanks beautiful), an email from my brother, a phone call from the brother-in-law, a hug and myer voucher from the mum-in-law, and an sms left by a gorgeous new friend at work.

It was a wonderful day. Oh and I even weighed myself and low and behold I weighed what my blog says I do. 70.4 kilos. I was a bit relieved to be down from 71.4. That is all.

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....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
