My last weight loss journey; the p word

In my last weight loss post, I mentioned binge watching Autumn Bates on YouTube. I’ve posted a link below.  So what have I learned? Way back in the day, I did Dr. Atkins and lost a bunch of weight. Got down to where I could wear some size 12 jeans. That was the smallest I’veContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; the p word”

My last weight loss journey; learning

On the one hand, it’s a cryin’ shame that as an adult I’m having to learn how to eat. On the other hand, that knowledge is available for me to learn. But it’s sad that you have to wade through rivers of excrement to find a nugget of truth.  From get rich quick schemes toContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; learning”

Gettin’ old

Please allow me to start this piece with, I have issues that aren’t associated with aging. However; I’m not naive enough to think the issues I have aren’t part of the problem.  And I have to keep educating myself about menopause (or the change of life). I’ve always heard, your mom is a good indicatorContinue reading “Gettin’ old”

My last weight loss journey; what now!

I’ve been having some issues lately. So I decided to start walking more. Deep sigh. Not enough hours in a day to do all the things I want/need to do. So yesterday I went walking in my neighborhood. Save gas and time, right? People have dogs but we sure don’t take community mined measures withContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; what now!”

My last weight loss journey; 2025

Well, it could have been worse. All the amazing holiday food, plus a birthday, I’m back to where I started. Frustrating? A little. But I did it to myself. On the plus side, I didn’t go over my starting point. So there’s that I guess. Now that all the cookies, cakes and pies are outContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; 2025”

My last weight loss journey; update

Eye roll 🙄, I’ve been countin’ my calories with the My Fitness Pal app. And once a week I’ve been weighing myself.  I’ve been using this thing more; once I sprayed it with White Grease and got rid of the very obnoxious squeak. 🙃 It’s always something.  107 blood sugar  Blood pressure 133/84, little onContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; update”

My last weight loss journey; here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak, tweak

I have come to the realization, reading many blog, listening to all different kinds of material, I have a life time of habits to change. Have to learn new ways to deal with b.s. And have to tell myself no, more often.  When I went to the store this time, I bought a few KetoContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak, tweak”

My last weight loss journey: trickery

It’s been a little while since I’ve written a post about my journey. There hasn’t been much to tell except the same old story. Loose a pound gain 3. As I get deeper into the throws of menopause, I seem to gain 5 pounds for every cookie I eat. Just thinking about a cookie madeContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: trickery”

My last weight loss journey: drink more water

Drink more water. 🤢 Stay hydrated. If I may ask, when did the phrase ‘stay hydrated’ become so common? Honestly. I live in my own world. A co-worker scared the be-gee-bees out of me the other day because I was in my own little world. 🤭 I don’t like water. But I’ve tried to addContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: drink more water”
