Since Jan. 8, I’ve lost 7 pounds. That’s about two pounds a week. That’s cool! I can live with that! In fact, I will live longer now, statistically speaking. Kinda makes you think, doesn’t it? I’ll live longer, be healthier, and happier. Those are pretty good goals to have.
My secret? Counting calories. This is for [...]
I’m in my jeans!
Posted by: Kathy on: January 28, 2008
I feel like I’m melted and poured into them, but I can actually put them on and button them, which two weeks ago, I couldn’t! Today is my weekly weigh-in day, but I forgot to weigh myself before I ate breakfast, so I decided just to skip it. I haven’t been exercising this whole past [...]

As much a fan as I am of counting calories (it’s a whole lot easier than I thought, and really gives me a feeling of control!), I am an even bigger fan of eating healthy. (If you check out my pages here on the right, you’ll see that I am no health guru–I need to [...]
Today
Posted by: Kathy on: January 23, 2008
I’m slacking up a little this week. I guess I’m blaming my husband’s 3-day weekend getting me off kilter. I didn’t exercise all weekend; but I did do a video on Monday. Then I didn’t do one yesterday and haven’t done one today (but there’s still time). I pigged out on Sunday (see my daily [...]

I must have “body dysmorphic disorder”–you know, when you see yourself differently from how you actually are. I’m just kidding of course. I don’t like the terminology of mental illness–it seems so defeatest–”the devil made me do it” and “I can’t help it”-ism.
The truth is, I don’t appear to myself the way I really am–and [...]

The sharper the cheddar cheese, the more flavor it has, even though it has the same number of calories and fat per ounce. So, you can use less of extra-sharp cheese for the same amount of flavor and cut your calories and fat! (Plus, you get a better value for your money, since it probably [...]
Today & Tomorrow
Posted by: Kathy on: January 20, 2008
I didn’t exercise today, and I probably won’t tomorrow. I guess something about the weekends gets me off schedule. Today, I spent much of the morning trying to find and fix a leak around my toilet, and caught up with some stuff around the house–made the kids clean their room (and since they’re 3 years [...]
Budgeting
Posted by: Kathy on: January 19, 2008
What does budgeting have to do with dieting? For me, everything!
This past week, I’ve been counting my calories, and not only have I not struggled with reducing my calorie intake, last night I actually ate an evening snack when I wasn’t truly hungry just to increase my total caloric intake for the day. According to [...]

I weighed myself–in the middle of the day, too!–and discovered that I’ve lost another pound since Monday (or was it Tuesday?). Anyway, it’s actually been really easy–that’s the weirdest part. Making myself write down what I eat, and how many calories it is, has kept me from eating mindlessly, which has kept my calorie intake [...]
Triumph
Posted by: Kathy on: January 17, 2008
Yesterday (Jan 16), I went into the torture chamber, as far as trying to keep on a diet is concerned–I went to my mom’s. Not only is she an excellent cook, but she likes to bake all sorts of sweets, and *always* has something on hand. Usually when I’m there, I eat without thinking–if it [...]
