Okay! Alright! I see some changes! Sheesh! - I have been stringently avoiding reflections of myself of any kind for decades. I have a weird thing in my head where I do not feel fat, or feel that I look fat, unless I'm confron...

Underfeeding my sleeve - I need to get better at this. I am definitely ending most of my meals feeling extremely full, which is uncomfortable and not good. I'm not over-eating as in eating bad things - I j...

Shopping sort of fail - I went first to a Value Village thrift store. The clothes are organized but not by size, so you have to literally go through item by item to find your size. I started getting panic...

If I'm not back before nightfall... - ... send in the Marines. I'm going shopping at the thrift store so I have jeans that fit - at least for this week.

Planning on some shopping today... - I have no jeans that fit. Which means I need to go shopping. I hate shopping. Like, HATE shopping. I'll probably hate it today as well, but at least I'm just trying on pants and no...

Some handy "to go" protein snack ideas - A friend of mine posted this to Facebook. http://greatist.com/health/high-protein-snacks-portable/#  I love the idea of the Silver Dollar Protein Pancakes. I love pancakes ma...

I appreciate the win... - ...but the Click protein powder that came in the mail today was decaf! I'll give it a whirl for taste but why have espresso protein powder if it's not going to make you jittery psy...

My ironic NSV - I don't fill my bra cups any more.  I had breast reduction surgery a number of years ago and had almost 14 pounds of boob removed. I NEVER lost boobage when I lost weight. Until...

My newly discovered secret of getting more water i - A smaller cup. I got a clear Starbucks thermal cup that holds about 10oz and I actually have been drinking more! I don't know if it's because it doesn't seem so daunting, or tha...

Gorgeous!

226 - Haven't seen that in a very, very long time... 

Some yum tofu recipes for y'all! - From the New York Times. Enjoy!

Energy through the roof! - I wasn't a total slug pre-op, but the weekend would come and I really slacked off. I wanted to get things done, but just didn't have the energy. Now, I am rarin' to go! I'm work...

If you haven't been to a 12-step meeting... - I would suggest going. Say what you will about them, but they are awesome at giving you very clear guidelines of how to function as a "normal" human being. I find one particular...

Lamb - it's what's for dinner! - I was all set to cook this last night and then the power went out. Going to give it a shot tonight. At our farmer's market I bought these incredible lamb sausages from The Spott...

It was definitely due to a really bad day of constipation. Anal fissures...

My butt is much better - I've been taking a little Milk o' Magnesia every evening and really forcing the water in as much as I can. It's helped me be regular and take the pressure off down there. For an...

Today's little NSV - I'm wearing my husband's belt. 3 holes in. In other words - I HAD to wear my husband's belt today as a) my jeans were falling off, and b) I don't own any because my pants were a...

Unless I've got colon cancer... - ... I've got an anal fissure. Ugh. Finally managed to free a rock I'd been holdling onto last night and there was a fair amount of blood included. I looked it up and considering ho...

Dinner tonight - Jullienned zuchini, sweet potato and red fingerling potato, and a piece of redfish pan-grilled with lemon juice and blackened seasoning. Very small dinner all things concerned, ...

Dang it's hot! - I really didn't want to eat my snack today but I forced myself too. I don't like to eat when it's hot. I drink, drink, drink - not booze - just liquids - usually water. I indulg...

Stomach mildly protesting... - ...but DAMN that fresh squeezed OJ was FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC! I also feel like maybe I won't get scurvy today. One Valencia orange - yum yum.
