Today's the last day for one of my employees - next week I start to pick up everything she was doing, PLUS I kicked off a HUGE project that will involve almost half the company, all which needs to be done before my vacation the end of July. LOL - no pressure. This is the same project that sunk the last person in this position (on a different brand ( Read more... )

Kelsey came home last night - and is in love with CA. And her boyfriend is from CA and is in love with MA. LOL. She goes back to school today, for training for her job that she's been doing for weeks now - but first she's off to the Aquarium at 1pm for an interview to be an intern for 6 months ( Read more... )

OK, 3 weeks of following this diet, and I'm down to 187 - I've lost 2 1/2 inches around my hips, an inch and a half around my waist and chest. I feel better, and I've discovered awesome snacks (I'm completely addicted to Pistachios - they are up there with cheese in terms of foods of the gods) and LOVE these breakfast smoothies. So now let's see ( Read more... )

OK, kudos to people who can diet. I'm very tired of not looking forward to eating - it does nothing more than stop me from feeling hungry. Totally stalled at 190 for like 10 days now, don't think I'll be going below this. However, I do sleep better, and feel better, and I'd bet tests would show that I'm healthier inside (cholesterol, etc). But ( Read more... )

OK, my bummed out mood the other day quickly changed (thank you Amy!!!), and it's been a good weekend so far. Friday started the Fade Away portion of the diet, and it was strange how FULL I felt after eating a tiny amount of pork and LOTS of greens. Yesterday was an omelette for breakfast, pistachios and stuff for a snack, a shake for lunch, and a ( Read more... )

Slept very deeply - deeply enough to not hear that Pixie had to go out, a fact discovered by a bare foot in the dark when the alarm went off at 5am ( Read more... )

Day 4 of the program - I've done "Yourself Fitness" 3 of the 4 days. Yesterday I saw no movement at all, and last night I was ready to throw in the towel because I just want to eat something SOLID - the soup is filling, the snacks are fulfilling, the shakes are tasty and make me feel good - but dear GOD I want a burger or some chicken or a piece of ( Read more... )

Recently, we decided we are going to eat better and lose weight - and we officially started yesterday (Facebook friends, I'm not talking about this on there - the snarky comments I received just discussing the THOUGHTS of this from some people in my life means it's not something I'm sharing there. We're following a plan that seems to work very well ( Read more... )

Body pain and joint pain down a bit today - 6 instead of the 8 it's been.  Headache continues, behind eyes, steel band, moving down into my neck.  No red meat the past several days...after a few days in a row with that as dinner.  Connection?

1 hour of kundalini yoga this morning.  Might have pushed it a bit.  Go from nothing to that, and it's not even my favorite DVD cause my SIL has that, I gave it to her to try when she was diagnosed with fibro.  This is the same people, but more intense and focused on stretching.  At least I didn't go for the Warrior Yoga DVD ( Read more... )
