My Own Thoughts

According to the QWLC people, I have lost 7.5 pounds. That’s during the day with clothes on. According to our scale at home, I have lost 6 pounds, first morning, naked weigh-in. The food is getting boring. Duh. The double chocolate bar wasn’t too bad. I’m going out of town this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be [...]

It’s been a week. According to them I’ve lost 6.5 pounds. That’s quite a bit. According to my scale I’ve lost 5 pounds in the last week. That’s what they say you’ll lose. 3-5 pounds a week. So I guess I did. This food is really boring though. Tell you what, you want to lose [...]

One of my students called today. It was a good call. She left a message to call her back. She’s going to Switzerland and has promised to transport chocolate back for me. Of course, I won’t be able to eat it for a year, but what do I care? It will be there, waiting for [...]

This morning my scale said 180.4. It also said 40% fat. Which is 72 pounds. So depending on which day I take I could have gained 12 pounds in fat in the last week. -Yeah, like I believe that. I think I will just have to go with the idea that the fat poundage is [...]

7 oz of turkey is a heck of a large turkey breast slice. I thought I was going to throw up, though, trying to eat it “dry.” I had it fresh out of the oven, so it was actually moist, but I am used to having ketchup with it. Then I remembered a recipe I [...]

Suzanne Brockmann’s Harvard Education is going to be re-released July 1, 2004. Hurray. Finally. I looked at Harlequin and the search engine said “no match found.” However, Amazon said it will be released soon. Thank goodness. I’ve read the rest of the series over and over. My husband even bought this book for me last [...]

Okay, I understand the concept. I think the idea is good. But I think that the concept and I are going to go head to head. I went in today. I hadn’t lost any weight. (That’s not surprising, since my period restarted today with a bang.) But the lady said, “Well, if this were the [...]

First off, I love wood. I love the woods. I love trees. I love wood furniture. I love wood floors. I love wood beams, wood mantles, wood everything. A friend of mine’s sister is a woodworker. A crafter in wood. A wood turner is how she describes herself. It is beautiful wood. Lynne Yamaguchi. Beautiful [...]

180.8 That was my weight this morning. So I’ve lost five pounds. Supposedly. Haven’t lost any inches that I know of. I should probably take my inches. They did it at the center, but I haven’t done it. At the center, I haven’t lost any inches. That would be weird. Five pounds and no inches. [...]

Atkins: 20 June 2003 (see that date’s blog for more) I had been on induction for 2 weeks and lost 4.4 pounds. However, I was feeling very ill, nausea, weakness, no energy. I was at 159 to start. Body for Life: 2 May 2003 Starting my fifth challenge. 8 April 2003 March (2002) went on [...]

We have a 10 week old beagle. I hate to admit this, but she is a sweetie. Cute, as only a puppy can be. Intelligent. Ornery. We’re still working on housetraining. That’s not as simple as it seems that it ought to be. S is M’s dog. But E and I are doing a lot [...]

I weighed in this morning at 181.4 on my scale. I’ll use both mine and theirs to keep track of my weight. 181.4 means I have lost 4.4 pounds in the last three days. That’s pretty amazing. My hubby says that’s about what I did on BFL. I hope that this goes as smoothly at [...]

Bad news. My weight went up tonight, by about a pound. There are several possible reasons: 1. I think I miscounted my water and drank too much. 2. I started my period, which always makes me jump a pound or so. 3. My lunch/supper meat may have had salt in the spices. I didn’t think [...]

I went looking last night for people’s comments about Quick Weight Loss Center. I found one person who wasn’t happy with the advertized price versus what you had to pay when you got in there. I’m not surprised about that. Despite the fact that it is considered deceptive pricing, which is illegal, it’s done all [...]

185.8 183.6 182 Those are my morning weights for the last three days. So I’ve lost more weight again. I like that, of course. I don’t feel well, but that is probably a combination of several things, most having no relationship to the diet. My neck has been sore for weeks. I finally figured out [...]

The reason I started blogging was to get my ideas “out there” and get other people responding to them. However, no one reads this blog except my husband and me. So what is the point? Is it my on-line diary? My on-line journal? What is the point of writing something no one reads? Well, I [...]

I haven’t finished my 80 oz of water today, so I fixed myself a glass of ice water, added lemon, and sat down to drink. I asked tonight why only 2 diet sodas were allowed or 2 Crystal lites. They said it was because of sodium. I drink Ice Botanicals. 0 mg of sodium. Why [...]

For the first two weeks, you are supposed to go in every day to the Center. So I went in again today. According to their scale, I had lost exactly 3 pounds. In about 30 hours. Turns out you can have decaf tea. I asked. I’m feeling rather lightheaded. They said carb withdrawal can cause [...]

The evening before I started QWL , my weight was 189. Last night, after one day, my weight was 186. Yesterday morning my weight was at 185.8. This morning my weight was at 183.6. That looks good. Of course, I know it is water weight, but since my mom is carrying 60 pounds of fluid, [...]

It’s been one day. I have eaten most of a package of salad, 17 oz of beef, a slice of cucumber, some green beans, one and a quarter Ice Botanicals, 80 oz of water, two oranges, two eggs, and some Morton Lite Salt. That’s been my food for the day. It’s a lot of beef, [...]
