And this be why trying to track food confuses me. I didn't go grocery shopping last night, so I'm out of breakfast fixing. I picked the healthiest looking thing at the 'bucks - a protein plate. This consists of Apple slices, grapes (that's right, I spit in the face of my allergies... and I will pay), a hard boiled egg, 3/4 of a multigrain pita, ( Read more... )

Thanks Nizxie :0)

• Be less jealous/envious
• Take the advice I would give to another at least 50% of the time
• Remember that good enough is not the same as settling, and that I have too much to not enjoy what's in front of me. Figure out the balance between enjoying what I have right now, and not settling
• Housekeep, cook - start doing these things for ( Read more... )

One of my "new years resolutions' (and I use that term not because it really has do much to do with the fact that it's a new years resolution, just that I tend to set new/rework priorities for myself every 6 months, and thus timing just works out that way.)  was to focus more on the state my body was in rather than the numbers of the scale ( Read more... )

So it's been a little over a year since I figured it was time to get my life back on track. It's going relatively well. Not as focused as it could be, but far from fails-vile.

Looking back, I seem to have completely forgotten about was the esteem part of image, and spent my time focusing on the physical. Gee shock eh?

So, what am I proud of?

• I delayed heading into work to savor a cup of coffee at home while answering e-mails. I enjoyed all the benefits of heading in late, without any of the guilt.
• Not only did I managed to stick to my budget this period, I actually saved some coin. Which was immediate split into a 3-way (cc debt, savings, and fun) and locked away to resist the ( Read more... )

I lost weight, I lost weight, I lost weight *happy dances all around* I spilled coffee....awwwww.

I'm such a bloody numbers girl.  I know it should be about how I feel, and how the jeans fit, the strength I feel, my increasing stamia and flexibility.  But it's not.  It's all about the scale.

Ottawa was great on a whole whack of levels.  I faced ( Read more... )

Also.. just got the hydro bill.  Energy (and fiscal) conservation fail

Totally going back on the EI diet.

Quick health check in.

Somehow in the two weeks of audit insanity where I did not eat a single damn healthy meal, I managed to keep the scale under 200. I swear to *god* it seems the less I think about food, the better things seem to go.

On the downside, the roommate bought a scale. Which means I'm back to weighing myself 2 times a day instead of ( Read more... )

So I'm on this "ha - life get in order" kick (because really that's how it works right?)  and one of the things I'm (attempting) to do is get back into my thrifty mode a little while still enjoying my life.

I think it's easier to spend in the city - there are 200 different cafes with weekday martini specials on, 300 coffee shops that should be ( Read more... )

..... I'd like to do some writing an posting about the things i"m going to get my life back on track.  Some of that will be financial, some of that will be weight related, like esteem, image and ummm... stuff.  Perhaps a very weak version of SATC ( Read more... )
