Ok, where was I?
Posted by: Kathy on: August 28, 2009
Back in May, I had just decided to do the Blood Type Diet (BTD). My husband and I are of different blood types, yet we both saw improvements in following our different diets. I tried to cook mostly meals we could have in common, or alternate out meals — one night I would fix him [...]

I’m sort of doing the Atkins Diet, from a book written in 1997, so if what I say is out-of-date, that’s why. My husband and I have been wanting to lose weight — since starting this blog a year ago, I’ve increased rather than decreased my weight — so he’s been reading all [...]
Let the garbage can eat it

One of the struggles in my mind as regards eating is my frugality, my waistline, and my appetite.
Most of the foods that I enjoy eating are neither frugal nor low-fat and/or low-calorie. Pizza, for instance. The way I prepare it (which is the best that I’ve ever eaten, in or out of a restaurant), is [...]
Reasons vs. Excuses
Posted by: Kathy on: April 14, 2008
There are so many avenues to take with a title like this. Think about it. So many people say they do something or don’t do something because of [fill in the blank], when the reality is that it’s because of something else.
For example, I want to do the Dave Ramsey thing — get out of [...]

I can’t be fat, right?
Weight has a tendency to creep up on you. You wear your clothes, and then they feel a little snug. So you get more comfortable clothes from your drawer or the back of the closet. Ah, sweat pants! Then you go shopping for more clothes (or in my case, get clothes [...]

Blogging about losing weight was good at the first. Then I started blogging too much and not losing enough weight. Too much computer, not enough exercise. And I stopped counting my calories, and basically went back to the way I was eating before, therefore I’m heading back to the weight I was before. Not good!
I [...]

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!

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 [...]
