I Can Finally Say It!!

I Can Finally Say It!!

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 never [...]

That's Right Grandma, I'm Dancin'!

That’s Right Grandma, I’m Dancin’!

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 a [...]

New Years Wishes

New Years Wishes

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 [...]

Things I Love Today

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 [...]

Project Fatass Heads into Winter

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 [...]

Random Summer 2009 Tidbits

Random Summer 2009 Tidbits

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.
This [...]

It’s All Inconclusive

It’s All Inconclusive

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:
“Hello [...]

FOAD Thursday - My Empty House

FOAD Thursday – My Empty House

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 honest, I [...]

Part of the Crowd

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 [...]

I Love Mika Today

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.

[...]

Hot Dog Dilemma

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 cooler [...]

Sept. Project Fatass Update

It’s now just a little over a month until we go back to Canada and I’m still trying to get off as much as I can before we leave.  Not just because I want to be as less fat as I can but also because I want to be as comfortable as possible in those [...]

Ready to Go!

Passport – CHECK!
Tickets – CHECK!
Petsitters – CHECK!
I AM GOING HOME! YAAAAAY!!
Now all I have to do is wait until it’s time to go.  It’s not so bad because we leave in just a little over a month.   I know the time will go by fast though because it seems like just yesterday I was saying [...]

Saturday Morning at the Track

This morning Xander and I went back to the walking track and I remembered to take my camera.   We did the full track again and it didn’t seem nearly as long as it did the first time. 
After 30 minutes of hard walking I was beet red, as usual. I’m hoping one day I’ll be able [...]

The Return of Project Fatass

Ok so Project Fatass has been back in action now for the past two weeks and things are going really well.  Keeping track of what I eat and my exercise helps a lot.  I stay within my calorie range every day and eat a lot more healthy food than I did before.
It’s funny because I always [...]

Back in the Saddle

The other day I was feeling particularly crap and for some absurd reason thought that would be a good time to step on the scale. Uhhh, no.  Crappy feelings x100 when I realized that I’d gained back 25 of the 30 lbs I’d lost last year.   I was so disgusted with myself that something clicked [...]

Summer is Late

… but it’s finally here!
Today was such a great day, we woke up and the sun was shining and it was like summer had been here all along.   People were out in their shorts and tank tops enjoying the weather, it was great.
At 11am we went to see the new Fantastic Four movie, which was [...]

The Waiting Room

Today I had an appointment with my dietician.  It has been a few weeks since I’ve seen her and I was dreading the weigh in because I knew I hadn’t lost as much as I could have during that time. 
I made my usual trek to the hospital and when I rounded the corner to [...]

Dutch Yummies

It’s so hard to stick to sensible eating this time of year and it’s just as bad here in the Netherlands as back in Canada!
During the holiday season these stands can be found all over the Netherlands.   On shopping streets, train stations, tram stops… absolutely everywhere.  They are filled with freshly baked Dutch treats… and [...]

Project Fatass Continues…

I know it’s been a long time since I wrote about my Project Fatass progress, I think it was because I felt like I wasn’t making any.
I’m not sure who Michal Keach is, nor do I care… but I do know that I’ve now lost as much as that big ugly fish weighs. 
I seem to [...]
