Once thing nice about coming back from mini-vacation (besides seeing the kidlet, who I was missing desparately by Saturday) is coming home to an almost clean house. Since mom was staying here with the wee one, we had to get things in a semblance of order, lest we be terribly embarassed. It was far from perfect […]
I’m back from our trip. It was mostly relaxing. I have to admit that I was a bit of a slug. I much preferred laying around reading to being on my feet all day at the conference. Especially after I managed to get shinsplints at Disney. I wasn’t expecting much from weighing in this morning […]
With still another 4543989 things to get done before we leave tomorrow, this is likely my last post until after we get back. Although I considered packing up the laptop to take with us, in the end I decided its just too much of a pain, for as little as I would hope to be spending on […]
Weighed in this morning at 283.5, which is down 2 pounds this week. I had taken a “preview” peek at the scale midway through on Saturday and actually was down 4 pounds then, so am feeling just a tad let down. On the other hand, its been so long since the scaled moved at all, […]
I’ve been craving roast turkey (and stuffing, mores the pity) for ages and decided I just didn’t want to wait anymore. I cooked up the smallest bird I could find today (which was still pretty darn huge for 2.5 people!) and made a small batch of stuffing. I didn’t make the whole shebang. No potatoes […]
I continue to be sick. Friday will be 3 weeks now. I’ve been to the doctor; at this point its just a matter of waiting out this bout. But it sure feels like it will never end. Afterwards, I have to see an ear nose and throat guy. I’ve now been advised by multiple physicians […]
Bento is a relatively new interest of mine. While the Japanese term “bento” roughly translates to “box lunch” in English, and I guess even a happy meal would qualify, a typical traditional Japanese Bento is not an average packed lunch. It’s really a craft, an art. The goal with bento is to assemble a meal […]
The title? Oh, well, imagine me squealing like a little girl. Not very diginified, I know, but my last package of bento box goodies that I’ve ordered arrived today. Ever since I first saw the “Ringo” (Apple) line by Shinzi Katoh, I just had to have it! Katoh is a zakka artist. (Zakka refers to super cute, […]
Here I am – again. Over the past 7 years I’ve been using the internet to track my efforts at losing weight and regaining my health. And I’m back to give it yet another go. Like most people with a severe weight problem, I’ve tried almost anything and everything in my life. In my teens […]
