My apologies for not posting more and missing last week’s weigh in. But the knee is still screwed up and after going into town twice to see two different doctors, I’m going to have surgery on November 29th to fix it. (Why the delay? Between my husband’s two hunting trips, my trip to Vegas for [...]

Yep, no check in. Why? One, I pulled my lower back and have been on pain meds that make me sick to my stomach unless I eat a couple of pieces of bread every few hours. It is multi-grain, however. The pulled back is making it impossible to exercise, too. Two, when I went to [...]
I’m still 151. Why? I had a nasty head cold this week, and when I’m sick all I want to do is eat. And once the fever, sore throat and pounding headache started, I craved chocolate, nuts, soup and fruit smoothies. On the positive side, I only missed one workout and didn’t gain any weight. [...]
