I took a day off from work yesterday, and drove my brother up to Pennsylvania for his semester opening meeting at work.  In the process, I was very bad on the eating plan yesterday.  Today, I’ve been in much more pain than usual, and I know it’s because of the over-eating I did yesterday.  I [...]

I had a physical therapy appointment today.  I had aquatic therapy today.  It’s always easier to do the exercises when you have the buoyancy of water.  The pain is actually beginning to be a little less.  It doesn’t hurt quite as much every time I get up out of a chair, or move in general, [...]

08-24-09 – HYC Update

This past week went fairly well on plan except for the weekend, which had a few bumps in it.  It always seems to be the weekends when I have the most problems staying on plan.  I’m back at full throttle today, though.
I had physical therapy today.  I think it’s finally starting to help my back [...]

Well, I didn’t do a very good job of staying on plan this weekend.  Everything was fine until last night at dinnertime, and things kind of went downhill from there.  Today was a little better, but not much.  Hopefully, things will pick up tomorrow.
My Phillies made baseball history today.  They ended their game against the [...]

I finally went online and looked up what I ate at the Olive Garden last night.  It was bad, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be.  The Seafood Portofino, which I think I called Seafood Pomodoro in last night’s post, has 678 calories and 23.3 grams of fat.  That’s a lot [...]

08-19-09 – Weight Watchers Update

I had my Weight Watchers meeting at lunchtime today.  I’m a Weight Watchers at work member, so it’s very convenient.  We have our weekly meeting in one of our conference rooms at work.
I lost 1.8 pounds in the last week, so that’s good.  The Weight Watchers program is designed for a loss of around 2 [...]

08-18-09 – Page Updates

I decided to make an update to my “I want” list.  I added some items, some of which are related to other items on the list.  I also separated it into a short-term list and a long-term list.  The short-term list is items (mostly related to walking) that I should be able to achieve more [...]

Overall, this week has been pretty good on the weight loss front.  I haven’t weighed in yet this week (my Weight Watchers weigh-in is on Wednesdays), but I am down 10.8 pounds total, and I haven’t exceeded my points allowance and weekly points allowance since last Wednesday, so I’m hoping I’ll see another loss this [...]

8-16-09 – Still Exhausted

Well, I made it through another weekend.  Actually, not quite, because it’s still Sunday, but, close enough.  This summer, the weekends have seemed more stressful than the work weeks, and, in a sense, they feel longer, too.   I’m actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow.
My father is in an assisted-living facility, and will probably [...]

8-12-09 – Weight Watchers Update

I had my Weight Watchers meeting today, and I finally stepped on the scale for the first time in a month.  It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  As a matter of fact, it was better than I thought it would be.  I’m down 6 pounds since my last weigh-in (which, granted, [...]
