Hump day? Bump day.
So, I’ve been at this whole diet thing for a little over a week now. (Yes, I know. “Diet” is a bad word. But it’s easier to say “lifestyle change involving journalling, eating less, and exercising more”. Can I just call it a diet? Just for this post? Pleeeeease?)
Mexicanese? Vietnamex? Tex-Viex?
After the ups and downs of the past week, things seem to be settling down. I was feeling relieved until
With a little help from my friends
It has been so long since I’ve been on the (weight loss) wagon that I’ve forgotten what colour the seats were. Or what a bumpy right it is, for that matter.
To do, or not to do
This weekend I baked my first ever cheesecake. In an oven that needs to be set roughly 50° lower than what the recipe calls for. It’s the “roughly” that’s kinda tricky.

5 Veggie sides that I will actually make (and eat)
I need to eat more vegetables. It really tells you something when I set 3 servings a day as a goal, and that this will be an improvement. If this is going to happen, I know that it needs to be easy, and I know that I need a list on the fridge so that [...]
8 Man-Dates Without Munchies
When I noticed a trackback on 19 Food-Free Friend Dates, I decided to take a peek. J commented that the list was “less guy oriented”. I’d say it was pretty unabashedly girly, myself. I decided to even the score. So here, for your buddy-bonding pleasure, is a list of munchless man-dates: Go-karting. I will never [...]
To Blog Or Not To Blog
Do you blog about weight loss? Even when you’re not losing? What about when you’re not trying? For weeks now, maybe months, my attitude can best be described as that of a petulant child who refuses to eat, or sleep, or do anything else that will make them feel better. Except that all I want [...]
