Day 1082
The good news is that my hip is getting better. PHEW! The downside is that my knee has started up again. Of course, I know what that is, and have already started taking the meds for it. My weight dropped this morning, and I am going to stay on track today. Have a great day…

Day 1044
Weight loss is not linear. Weight loss is not linear. I have to keep repeating that to myself on mornings like these, when I mostly stuck to the program the previous day, and yet the bathroom scale has me up by nearly a pound. What does mostly stuck mean? I had my usual breakfast, then…

Day 1032
The bathroom scale can go pound rocks this morning. There is no reason that I can think of why my weight should have been up by two pounds from yesterday. Argh! I did a great deal of studying yesterday, and I am confident that I will pass the certification exam I have scheduled for Thursday.…

Day 1031
Okay… yesterday I was disappointed that I had gained nearly two pounds from the previous day. It was actually a bit over 1.5 lbs., but it is what it is. This morning, I had shed exactly what I had gained. I was relieved that the gain was not permanent. Hopefully I will stay on track…

Day 1029
I was glad to see that my weight dropped to almost what it was at Monday morning – that is, before the emotional miserable stress-eating day – despite my inability to move my bowels again this morning. I did move them successfully yesterday mid-morning, so at least there’s that. I hate being even this smidgen…

Day 1026
Remembrance Day is always one of those days that is a bit difficult for me. As I walked Her Floofness this morning, a woman with her young daughter engaged me in conversation. How’s the weather, cute pup, and so on. She then said to me ‘I see you are wearing a poppy too. Happy Remembrance…

Day 960
I did not do better yesterday, gaining another two pounds this morning. I was scared last night about today’s fast day – the preparation for my procedure tomorrow started this morning – and so I splurged last night. Today I am limited to clear liquids only. I am feeling weak already, and not happy at…

Day 951
Despite getting out and exercising my tushie off yesterday, I felt like I had failed yesterday because my friend from out of town took me to the pub for dinner. I should have politely declined, but she is not in good health, and she wanted to continue our conversation. It is great spending time with…

Day 945
I was on the phone with an old friend last night discussing life, the universe, and everything when he mentioned something that let on that he reads my daily weight loss blog. I am always surprised to hear that people read it because unlike my other two blogs (which have been dreadfully dormant for months)…

Day 944
Welcome to another day of constipation, and another day of my weight being slightly up. Those two seem to go hand-in-hand most of the time. Hopefully, as was the case yesterday, sometime later this morning I will finally be able to move my bowels… but it has not happened yet. Grr. To make matters worse,…
