No I don’t mean me, you dick. Ok maybe I do, sorta. Still, it wasn’t nice of you to just assume it was about me. Just sayin’. This is The Fat Lady: No, seriously, the fish is actually called The Fat Lady! Check the link if you don’t believe me. Anyway, you know what a [...]
The map was created with my favorite handy dandy My Tracks application for Android. Today my husband and I went on a nice long bike ride around Rotterdam. He was finally over his throat infection, I was over my minor cold and the sun was shining again… it was time to get out there! Initially [...]
Today me (middle), Penny (right) and Laila (left) got up bright and early and went into the city center to see the new Sex and The City movie. We chose to go early on a Saturday so that they could arrange child care and we’d have time for lunch and shopping afterward. I won’t get [...]
On March 6th I had finally lost 50 lbs. It took me a while to lose the last 1-2 lbs to get there, which feels silly I mean it’s ONLY 1-2 lbs. It seemed to go on forever though as I had reached that dreaded plateau everyone told me was coming. Since then I’ve been [...]
Now that I have finally broken the 50 lbs lost point and Project Fatass has made it through winter, it’s time to move on to another goal. I won’t say what it is because I’m still too embarrassed by the numbers, but it’s 8 lbs away. Sound easy, right? Yeah, not really. Having already done [...]
I HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS!!! Of course, like 19 and 25 lbs on my last attempt, and my recent 30 lbs this must be celebrated with a fish! This fish weighs exactly 50 lbs 2 oz, which is how much I have lost as of this morning! What a relief! I was beginning to think that pound was [...]
This morning was weigh in day. I got on the insult machine, looked down and told it to go fuck itself. It would appear that making that 1 pound my bitch is going to be more difficult than I thought. Instead, my body was all like HA, I’ll take your 1 pound and see you [...]
I know I’m late to the party with the whole New Year ‘resolution’ thing, but I needed some time to think about it. I don’t actually do resolutions, it’s really not my thing. Mostly because I’m a big quitter and I never keep them. There are some things I would really like to see happen [...]
Today I am in the best mood. I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of [...]
Check it out, it’s Michal Keach again! Still no idea who he is, but he’s still serving a purpose for me. For the 2nd time in the past 3 years I am once again down THIRTY POUNDS (14 kilos / 2.1 stones)!! Well, 33 lbs as of today, but 30 lbs as of my last [...]
Yet another hiatus from my blog. Sometimes I find it hard to find things to write about because I’ve pretty much already told everyone I know what I’ve been up to via Twitter and Facebook. It makes the blog seem a little pointless at times. It sucks in a way, I miss writing here regularly. [...]
Well the blood work came back and the only thing that showed up was that my glucose was high. I phoned the doctor and was surprised when All In Your Head Doc’s wife answered. She was the ‘nice’ one (if you use a really wonky scale of what is nice, I mean). Here’s the conversation: [...]
If you had asked me a month ago if I had any space in my house I would have laughed. Between me, the pets, my husband and all our furniture I felt like we were completely crowded. I SO wish I felt that way again right now. My parents left this morning and if I’m [...]
I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass. I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the [...]
Today I crashed our payroll database at work… oops!! I won’t get into how one manages to do that but it’s not that difficult, I mean I managed to do it easily enough! I was a bit worried when my colleague told me I had done it, but then all the girls in my department [...]
Between yesterday’s skinny theme and today’s PMS, I’m feeling like a total lardarse. That’s not even mentioning the holiday weight gain. There’s only one thing that gets me out of it… a little bit of MIKA! I mean, Baby Got Back is so yesterday. I think this is my new love myself theme song. Seriously, [...]
Ok, now this just ticks me off. Who thought hot dogs could cause so much confusion and hassle. When I first moved here I found it so totally bizarre that they kept their hot dogs in bottles and cans with water… and not refrigerated. I was used to hotdog’s in a plastic package in the [...]
