Bio
As of today, I am still a married mother of two. The last 10 years of my life have been devoted to raising my kids and I haven't had much of a personal life. Now I am ready for that to change. Big Time. I am entering my 3rd quarter of school, where I am hoping to become an Ultrasound specialist, but first I have to do the prerequisites (all the science stuff I didn't do in college the first time around). Living in Gig Harbor hasn't provided me with the most stimulating 2 1/2 years of my life, and I have nearly lost my mind on several occasions. My old life (pre-kids) was me growing up in Michigan, moving to Massachusettes after HS graduation. Lived in there on and off for a few years, squeezed in a few years of college before my vagabond instincts took me to Maui and a few marvelous years in Denali National Park. I ended up in Washington state, where I live today with my feet nailed to the floor.

More fizzle, less sizzle.

Hello World,

     It's a well-worn phrase:  "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions".   It's a road I've been down may times.  No, I haven't posted in almost a month.  No, I haven't made any progress in my pursuit of fabulous, lasting weight loss.&… Read full post »

Look Out, She's Off the Rails!!!

Hello World,

     Ah, dammit people, I'm not doing my best on this whole blog thing.  For one thing, I'm not writing every day.  Honestly, I guess I don't have quite enough useful information to share.  My original intent was to set an example and serve as an inspir… Read full post »

Hello World,

Oh Happy Day, People!  For those of you who have been keeping up with my story, you know that I am trying to lose weight the anti-diet way.  Recently, though, I have discovered a miraculous inspiration to keep me on track:  lingerie.

Die, Diets, Die!

Hello World,

Today I am struggling with a topic.  Readers who have followed my trials n' tribulations for the last two weeks will know about my naughty ways.  Amazingly, I think I might be clearing the hurdle of sugar cravings.  Maybe I should take a moment to share my feelings about… Read full post »

I've Been A BAD, BAD Girl

DAY 10

Hello World,

Today, my invisible friends, I am making a confessional.  It has been 9 days since my last weigh-in.  In that time I have consumed the following sinful edibles:

1 bottle of wine

2 bottles of beer (NOT light)

1 Mushroom & Swiss burger

About 1/2 dozen homemade cho… Read full post »

Immaculate Digestion

Hello World,

DAY 8

Oh, my bold claims and boasts that I could be a successful dieter under the watchful eyes of my dearest internet friends and readers, they were just that.  Boasts and Claims. 

Maybe it's time I humble myself, since I have not succeeded on any level, and… Read full post »

Hello World,

Those words perfectly describe my day.  Okay, English majors, I recognize that some of those words don't have a place in the Webster's dictionary.  Summing up a sucktacular day of stressful errands and domestic servitude requires very specific wording. 

Do you know what m… Read full post »

DAY 3

Hello World,

 Hear me now, people:  I LOVE NUTS!  Not the smoked kind, and not peanuts (we all know that those are imposters).  No, no, no.  You know what I am talking about, dirty little cashews encrusted with sesame seeds that stick delicately to your sweet sugar… Read full post »

Day 2: Do not eat the sugar!

Hello World,

 How disturbing is it to have a huge study on the dangers of sugar published on the day you begin your dietary journey?  This report was followed by a report stating that obese people have less brain mass (although this is reversible).   I want you to know, good… Read full post »

Hello World,

Here it is, DAY 1.  The first day of the rest of my life.  The day the weight will start dropping off my swollen body like babies off  the Octo-mom. 

Let the sharing begin.
