08-08-08 – Time for the weekend!

I’m heading up to my father’s house for the weekend.  I’m not sure what needs to be taken care of yet, but I’ll find out when I get there.  I’m not going to let him get on my nerves this weekend.  And, I’m going to stick to my meal and exercise plan.
I’ve forgotten to mention [...]

Healthy You Challenge Update

I have two major achievements to report this week! First of all, the non-scale achievement -
I live at an apartment complex called “Top of the Hill”. As you may imagine, it’s on the top of a hill. On one of the walking paths, there’s a fairly steep incline (steep for me, that [...]

I had a pretty hard, intense day at work today.  Testing for the projects I’m working on has not been going well, so I’ve had to remove both projects from this Friday’s go-live date.  Fortunately, it’s not imperative that the date be met, or else I’d still be at work right now, and I’d be [...]

2 pounds! Grrr!

Well, it’s my own fault for not sticking to the plan over the weekend.  I’m up 2 pounds since Thursday.  I have to find a way to stick to the plan on weekends, since they are my biggest weakness.  As I’ve seen, and as anyone who’s been reading this blog has seen, sticking to the [...]

06-11-08 – Second pre-surgery class today

05-29-08 – First pre-surgery class today

I had my first pre-surgery class today.  I thought it was going to be all nutrition, but it was equally divided between nutrition and exercise.  The dietician talked first.  Her main topic for the day was grocery shopping.  We went over why it’s important to set a day each week to go to the grocery [...]

I had a bad day today.  Nothing bad happened at work, nothing bad happened at all, I just ate like a pig from the time I got home from work up until now.  I’m not going to attempt to describe how my stomach feels right now, nor am I going to attempt to  figure out [...]

I haven’t updated in several days.  I think this is my longest stretch of not writing since I started this blog.  Sorry about that.  I went up to my father’s house in Bethlehem for the weekend and stayed over until Monday since I had off from work.  On Sunday, I marinated and grilled a London [...]

04-24-08 – I want . . .

One of my co-workers just had lap band surgery in March; she’s already lost quite a bit of weight and says she feels great! I know that my friend and college roommate (known as Irish J in this blog), who had gastric bypass surgery several years ago, is literally half the man he used [...]
