I was having trouble accessing my posting interface, and I finally figured out why. It turns out there are problems with the site and the Blogsome tech support people are on vacation until January 4th! Fortunately somebody in the forum thread suggested BlogJet, a desktop posting client. I checked it out and […]

After seeing The Life Aquatic this afternoon, we went to the Ben & Jerry’s place that’s right across from the theater. I allowed myself a little cup of Dublin Mudslide with chocolate sprinkles…and it was good. I think I might allow myself a tiny bit of premium ice cream every so often. […]

I haven’t been counting calories for the past couple of days. I weighed myself this morning and I was 170.5, but I’m arbitrarily choosing not to record that one even though I’ve recorded other weights in the past week. Candy is yummy. A bit of Bailey’s is yummy. $9 worth of […]

I’m having plenty of snacks - chips and dip, mixed nuts, clementines - but I don’t feel bad about it. I had some chocolate this morning (my mom was very thoughtful and mostly gave me Three Musketeers bites, plus some other yummy stuff she knew I’d want) but I am not stressing over it. […]

Thanks to Lee over at FitQuest I (re)discovered My Virtual Model. I’d signed up for it aaaaages ago when it first debuted on the Lands’ End website, and I was able to log back in and edit the model to how I look today.

It’s surprisingly accurate in its depiction of me given that the […]

I just spent 90¢ on a Carborite cookie rather than having one of the cookies somebody brought in and left on the receptionist’s desk. It’s bigger and probably lower in calories than a Real Cookie. The issue of taste comparison, though…well, we just won’t go there.

I just ate three pieces of chocolate that I snagged out of a basket on the receptionist’s desk as I left work. I initially just picked up two - one for me, one for my partner - but then I spotted a Reese’s bell and I grabbed that too. I ate the bell […]

I decided to try a meal replacement shake for breakfast this morning, just for kicks. To my surprise, it’s pretty good! The snack bar here at work had both Slim-Fast and Costco brand shakes, and the Costco brand was only $1 and said “Compare to Slim-Fast” on the label so I got that […]

I am managing not to attend a holiday breakfast. Fortunately nobody is making any speeches, so I don’t have to go interpret for my deaf client. I went over and told him they announced the breakfast was beginning, and he said “okay, thanks” but didn’t make any move to get up. I […]

My mom e-mailed me a link to a Washington Post article I’d missed: Rough It is about the benefits of a high-fiber diet. The article mentions something WW already teaches:
So, with foods high in fiber, only a portion of the calories that you eat actually count, which means high-fiber diets tend to be somewhat […]
