Hubby has been really helpful this time -- probably more than ever before. Last night, we talked over how I'd been doing, points-wise, the last few days. That's very unusual for him, as he usually is pretty uninterested. Today was actually my first weekly ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2010/02/25/again-4/ Cooking/eating more vegetarian, especially beans/legumes & veggies. Paying more attention to portion sizes and my own satiety. Drinking more coffee. (No milk. No sugar.) Investigating things like a pressure cooker which will make cooking faster/easier. And NOT doing... So far, no exercise. One thing at a time, I suppose. ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2010/01/13/things-im-doing-in-the-new-year/ The air was thick with humidity and clouds hovered overhead, but it was pleasantly cool early yesterday morning. As I approached the arch at Grand Army Plaza, just outside Prospect Park, I imagined how I would appear to the folks I was meeting. I wore yoga pants, a t-shirt, a ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/06/07/the-eatingexercise-thing/ Was my last post mysterious enough? Well, it's all still a bit mysterious to me, too, but here's how it went down. My husband has been frustrated with his work situation for a very long time. It's not that he worries about the security of his job or anything, but ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/05/26/the-most-natural-thing-in-the-world/ It's been kind of a crazy few days. My family is basically in the throes of a big ongoing serious financial discussion that promises to change the status quo, one way or another. And it's very upsetting and stressful to me. I'm the kind of gal who loves a routine, ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/05/07/stress/ I've always resisted affirmations. For one thing, they usually sound so cheesy and new-agey, and who really believes that saying something can make it so? (All of the fans of "The Secret," that's who.) Anyway, I just thought it wasn't for me. This time around, however, I'm finding myself naturally, spontaneously, ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/03/09/yes-im-positive/ Well, by some standards, my first few days on WW would be considered a miserable failure. I went WAY over on points, even counting the weekly "extras," and this was just in the first three days or so. Thankfully, I'm not measuring myself by those standards! I am looking at this ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/03/08/first-few-days/ I weighed myself this morning before jumping in the shower. The number I saw -- 229 -- was not only very close to 230, but it was also more than 10 pounds more than what I once thought was my "set point." Slowly, or not so slowly, I've been inching ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/03/05/becoming-a-joiner/ Here we are, almost at the end of January, so it's time for a wee check-in to see how I've been doing regarding my resolution to write down all my food/drink intake. How have I been doing? Uh.. not so great. SparkPeople, however free, was just a pain to ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/01/28/new-year-check-in/ I was super lucky and got to visit with DietGirl when she came to New York to promote her book on the Early Show. Now, I've just watched the video from the interview, and I think it turned out fantastically. What's especially wonderful is that it's a testament to why ... http://mybodymyblog.com/2009/01/27/dietgirl-on-the-early-show/
