January 14, 2014 - New year, ongoing efforts.  Nothing new about weight loss, just more of the same.  I still exercising, still trying to eat healthy and 'clean', still struggle when traveling, st...

December 5, 2013 - Made it through Thanksgiving pretty well until we hit the movies.  I know how terrible theatre popcorn is for me, but I just couldn't resist.  Ate too much (that would be anythi...

November 25, 2013 - I had a tough end of the week last week.  It has been incredibly stressful at work--just a lot going on and not enough time to get it all done.  Then I only lost .75 lbs. and I ...

November 20, 2013 - So I decide to do two wellness events per day and life goes crazy!  Work is a bit overwhelming right now--big projects as well as niggly little ones that must be done.  And meet...

November 12, 2013 - I did a pretty good job of staying with my 'system' while traveling.  I did exercise each day, did try to walk during breaks (not as much as I planned to though), ate a fish ent...

November 4, 2013 - I'm traveling this week, so I'm trying to plan ahead.  I was reading a blog (Summer Tomato) in which the author wrote about being able to stay on track when she was in her "syst...

October 30, 2013 - It has been a full week already—I feel like I’ve been running since last week.  We had the outside evaluators here Thursday and Friday, so I wound up working some Sa...

October 24, 2013 - Tonight is weigh-in at TOPS, so I thought I'd do a check of the difference between my scale in the morning and theirs at night.  So this morning, with clothes, I was 199.6 (love...

October 23, 2013 - It has been a full week and a half at work.  We had our accreditation visit which was pretty stressful, but I think it went well.  There were several occasions of validation of ...

Thoughts - I joined TOPS a few weeks ago because one thing I have learned about myself is that I need external support and accountability.  Simply having someone waiting for me to show up ...

Can one export blog entries? - I'm sure this has been asked before, but when I searched I couldn't find anything.  Is there a way to export one's blog as a single document or do I have to open each archive an...

October 15, 2013 - Just read the interview with Dr. Miller on this website.  I was so pleased.  Finally, someone who is talking about the physiological changes not just the restrictive ones that g...

Arrgh! - Just finished a meeting with some of the rudest, crankiest, and disingenuous people I know.  So I get back to my desk and my first thought is, "what do I have here to eat?"  Goo...

August 30, 2012 - Well, I've been back on track for 25 days and doing generally good.  I've decided to weigh just on the 1st and 15th of each month.  Part of that is to avoid the pitfalls of diappoi...
