    My Little Buffalo

oh yeah, it’s Monday!

I don’t have to work today!  (glorious!)  But I keep forgetting that it’s Monday.  Which means I keep forgetting that it’s a McFatty day.  der. Update on the drama of the potentially broken scale:  Last week seemed to hold steady around 207 lbs, & today was 205.5 lbs. So I lost roughly a pound & [...]

It’s not a cop-out, I swear. But I think my scale may need an exorcism.

I worked hard this week. Last week was a wake-up call for me, & I kicked it into high gear.  I stuck to my Nutrisystem food & plan.  We walked four nights out of the week.  On Saturday, we took a long walk in the park with several hills.  I sweated.  I pumped up the [...]

Hey, guess what? You can’t eat an entire plate of monkey bread & stay skinny!

McFatty Monday?  It ain’t so pretty this week. APPARENTLY, you cannot go several weeks without weighing in, eat whatever the hell you want, drink chocolate peppermint martinis in New York, & then spend a week laying in the sun & not pack on the pounds. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR. I could go on & on [...]

Renewed.

OMG, NYC.  WTF. Obviously, my ability to describe New York & Blogher has been reduced to three-letter acronyms.  Because it was so awesome that there are simply no words.  & one post cannot do it justice, so unfortunately for those of you that are SO STINKIN’ SICK OF HEARING ABOUT EFFING BLOGHER ALREADY, I should [...]

I’m getting all sniffly & sentimental.

Because y’all?  This day has the full-on recipe to suck. Nate threw out his back.  Which meant we had to carpool in, even though our days of carpooling were supposed to end today.  I spilled something oily on my dress, which makes it look like I dripped water, except it’s totally dry.  & since we [...]

Honesty. Frustration. More coffee, please.

So here we are – as of this morning, I am at 199 lbs, with a total weight loss of 25 lbs.  I’m frustrated.  I can’t lie – I’m very, very frustrated.  My weight has been up, down, up up up, down…I know that the weight gain was in part of medicine & I’d rather [...]

Jackass pose.

This week has been a pretty cool week for me.  I dropped a little weight by Thursday & after that, I refused to step on the scale.  So I have no idea what I weigh this morning. & it feels good.  I strictly followed my plan: & I worked through my Mindset Makeover on Nutrisystem’s [...]

I’m committing to losing a 9-month-old.

After a week like last week (down four pounds!) I’m a little miffed to see the scale not moving this week, even though it could be expected.  & I realized – I need a new goal.  A specific, hard-number goal. It was so easy to drop the baby weight & then the Harpie weight.  They [...]

Because part of McFatty is getting into a bathing suit.

Today, our faithful McFatty friend “Metta” is hosting McFatty Monday.  She emailed me a few weeks ago, asking if I would mind her hosting because she really felt the need & urgency & responsibility to run it for a day.  & boy, did she!  Take a peak & read her amazing post about body image, [...]

Finding inspiration.

Good Monday morning, y’all.  ::yawns & passes around cups of skinny lattes:: I hope everyone had a wonderful week & weekend! Last week, I made the commitment to be more hard-core about my diet.  It’s slowly, slowly paying off but I discovered Nutrisystem’s app for the iTouch or iPhone or iWhatever through their website & [...]
