I used to think (incorrectly so) that most of the things there were healthy. They are if you know what you are eating. And yes, I had to have one chocolate chip cookie (70 cal). But they have an ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/09/salad-bar-beware/ So, I spent a few days away from home and away from this site and low and behold I have gained 1.5lb, or so reads the scale the intermittently doesn't work. Should I be weighing in at the same time everyday? The same day of the week? And if anyone ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/09/weighed-in-bad-news-friends-and-neighbors/ So, today I did aerobics first thing after I woke up today. I seemed to put more effort into it, and I found that wearing shoes on the carpet helped a lot. (Though we don't usually wear shoes in the house.) I'm not sore. Not one iota of ache, with ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/05/status-report-feeling-well-and-doing-just-fine/ I have to find a good evening snack. I seem to get hungry after dinner and before bed. Right now I want to go into the kitchen and stuff my face, but I can't if I sit here and type. No aerobics for me today. I am taking the day off ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/05/help-need-an-evening-snack-idea/ Dearest God! My thighs, abs, and behind are on fire! I must have burned some calories today doing aerobics, or my name isn't Loretta. I found muscle groups that I forgot I had. This evil woman on the Fit TV had "low-impact aerobics and pilates." I thought, naively so, this ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/03/getting-in-shape-round-is-definately-a-shape/ I woke this morning with tender abdominals, an aching behind, and a renewed sense of self. I made it through the first day without freaking out an eating everything in the house. I drank water until my pee was clear and only drank one soda for the day. I was ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/02/day-two-sore-but-happy/ So, I had a terrible case of the munchies. I asked my beloved husband to pick me up a diet soda at the local market. He came home with a bag of candy bars as well. I wanted one more than I have wanted anything in quite some time. But ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/01/munchies/ So, I did aerobic exercise for the first time since God and dinosaurs walked the earth. I didn't realize how strenuous simply lifting my arms over my head could be. It shouldn't be, but it was. Though normally I'd feel slightly dejected and give up, not this time. I'm turning ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/01/gilaud-should-wax-for-the-sake-of-all-things-aerobic/ Here starts a new year and for the first time a firm resolution to take control of my weight issues. I've always been "fat". I've never really known any different. At one brief period of time, I could shop in a regular department store, but not any more. The smallest ... http://metamorphosis.buddyslim.com/2009/01/01/a-new-beginning/
