This is the end

When I started this blog in November of 2011 I thought the idea of becoming a famous blogger was pretty cool. Well, I've come to the point where I don't want that anymore.

Ever since I started having trouble with WW last year it's been very hard to come up with things to write about. Many times I've thought to myself 'I should stop writing my blog because it's just too difficult' and then I sleep on it or think about it until the idea goes away. So far I've taken the easy way out; keeping the blog open.

It's been a really hard decision, but I've decided to close my blog down. I will keep it open so people can see the progress so far, but I am going to stop posting to it. I may come back at some point, I may not. It's very up in the air right now. Twitter will stay open and so will my Facebook page. I may post my progress to them instead of blog.

Thank you to everyone who has been on my journey with me. It's been a good ride. For the time being my weight loss journey is going to be personal and private. If you wish to stay up on my photography you can follow my photography blog, photography Facebook page and/or my photography Twitter.

Thank you all so much, it's been a privilege and an honor.

As always thank you for reading.

Off the path just for a bit

So I mentioned on Facebook that I'm off the path again. Well, that's with conditions.

One week ago today I had 3 medical procedures done. They were all pretty invasive, so I'm still recovering. I've been rebuilding my strength so I've been afraid to eat less. Well that's all done. I started back on the plan today. Don't know if or how much I may have gained. I don't plan on weighing in for at least another week.

So, I'll of course keep you all in the loop.

As always, thank you for reading.

Nothing to say

I promised I'd blog weekly again, no matter how little I have to say. I have nothing ground breaking or major to say.
  • I gained a pound, but I had a high point day (on plan) the day before and I had just eaten lunch. 
  • I've started to eat Avocados as a meal. YUM! 
  • I still feeling great. 
  • Still on plan. 
  • Still taking my vitamins. 


Otherwise, move along folks, nothing to see here.

Thank you for reading.

Star Wars Day 2013

So happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! I am not afraid to let my geek flag fly!

Here are my thoughts for the week.


  • Eating two Angus Deluxe snack wraps at McDonald's is three more points than a Angus Deluxe by itself. I usually order a snack wrap with a fruit and yogurt parfait, but they didn't have any berries, so I ordered two of the snack wraps. Not a good decision.
  • I'm thinking about freezing chocolates because it will require me to really take my time to eat them frozen. I <3 the Weight Watchers Dark Chocolates.
  • I found out that I lost 2.6 this week. So good to be on the way down. 27.4 pounds more to go til I can pick up where I left off
  • Frace is good stuff and it's easy on points. It's fat free & sugar free soft serve frozen yogurt.
  • It's just like old times in regards to Weight Watchers. So good to be back
  • The single serve Skinny Cow ice creams are awesome! They're only four points! It's enough to keep me from buying a pint of the higher point stuff. If I bought a pint of the higher point stuff it lead to me eating the entire thing. Sharing a higher point version would work too.
  • I still think my vitamins are keeping me on plan. If I don't take them I feel like pigging out uncontrollably.
  • I survived my first charity walk. I walked three miles in memory of my Grandson in the March of Dimes March for Babies.
  • I went on my first hike of the year. 30 pounds really makes a big difference.
  • I need to track when I eat because if I don't I may forget to track something
  • "The Place Beyond the Pines" is a good movie. Yes, it's not weight loss related, however, I am proud that such a good movie was shot here in the Capital Region. Thought it was worth a mention.
That's all.
