So good!

This long weekend has been utterly fantastic for me fitness wise. I walked every single day for at least 90 minutes. I feel very good when I am walking. I love the air on my face, I love my ipod, and I love how my legs feel when pushed.

I am seriously considering taking up cycling, just for fitness of course. I would have to invest a lot in buying the bike so I don't know how soon I can do it.

Mr. ralph's 30th is looming and I need ideas of what we can do that would be special for him. I have suggested we have a dress up dinner/party and use the Deadwood theme. For those that don't know it, it is old west.

I love the outfits the women wear back then. I want to buy a sexy corset anyway, just for fun. ;)

I really like Joanie and her hats.

I find it interesting to see the changes that have been made since changing your medication. I wasn't aware that Prozac can occlude weight loss progress. I wonder if this has any impact on my own frustrations of late. Is this something that I should have seen in the "side effects" pamphlet? Keep up the great work! You sound like a new woman -- how thrilling for you!

I love Joanie's hats. Very chic. I couldn't live in that time period, though - not enough sanitation and I don't think I could say c**ksucker enough.

I'm glad you're feeling better and getting out for the walking. Each drug has different potential reactions, so changing until you find just the right one for you is very wise.

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...

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...

A summary of yesterday

The day started off really well because my body had somehow managed to go back to normal and I pulled out a one kilo loss for the week. I was very pleased with that, and the girls at my weight watcher's meeting had a present for me! I was soooooo surprised. I had invited them to come out for drinks with me and was pleased that they said they would come, they didn't have to buy me a present as well. But they got me a beautiful vase. I haven't photographed it yet, but it is in the plans. Friday night mr. ralph's friend that moved to Melbourne called and said he would be flying in and could come out as well to celebrate with me. It was very nice to see him. The dinner went well, except the dish I ordered was a seafood soup which consisted of seafood floating in heavy cream; not the most weight-conscious choice, but I managed to eat the seafood and bits of potato and leave the cream behind, and it took over an hour for us to get our food from when we ordered. After d...
