defining the circles that make me whole
Keeping a promisePosted by Alli on July 27, 2007
I made a promise to myself that if I didn’t see the numbers on my scale going down and I got to 220 pounds I would sign up for Weight Watchers. My little sister has been doing WW for a while now and is almost to her goal weight. She looks great, has an incredible [...]
The tooth fairy won’t want thisPosted by Alli on July 19, 2007
Today was a day I was dreading- a trip to the dentist to get one of my baby teeth pulled. When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I remember waking up during the removal of the last tooth and feeling a very yucky suction release as the last tooth came out. I was dreading that [...]
Weightloss Wednesdays: Getting SeriousPosted by Alli on July 18, 2007
In my history of trying to lose weight I have tried to alter my diet, but not ramp up the movement. Or I have ramped up my movement but not given serious thought to what it is that I eat. Since returning from our adventures in travel, I have decided that I really must give [...]
Me and alli (long I)Posted by Alli on July 10, 2007
I have to admit right now that I am really, really depressed about my weight and really, really need to get some of it off. Out of curiosity I bought the alli book that is in the alli display case at Wal-Mart. It has some recipes in there and exercise suggestions. When you go through [...]
Ready for the sunPosted by Alli on July 1, 2007
Well, we have arrived in Lake Martin, for a week of zero plans and lots of resting. I love that I married a man who came with parents who live on a lake. It has been a great refresher for us each year. The weather was bright and sunny when we got here and I [...]
Weightloss Wednesdays: up one, oops!Posted by Alli on June 28, 2007
I need to get a little bit of a grip. I have been really touchy lately, moving toward my post ovulation funk that lasts anywhere from two days to two weeks. I took a scale picture today, but I haven’t the energy to find the cord I need to hook up the camera. I gained [...]
Weightloss Wednesdays: need to move morePosted by Alli on June 20, 2007
Well, there is one thing to say about this: it sure keeps me accountable to post the scale pictures. I tend to be rather consistent in my weight… if I put more effort into activity, I am sure that I would be able to lose some weight pretty quickly. But to be honest, I pretty [...]
Thanks Kank-a lotPosted by Alli on June 15, 2007
Well, I am about to enter a part of my life that I am not at all thrilled about. Dental work. A few months ago a piece of one of my teeth came off. It didn’t really bother me, and since I no longer had dental insurance, I didn’t call it in. Last week I [...]
My Alli isn’t me, but it could be?Posted by Alli on June 13, 2007
Oh my. The first time I saw a reference to Alli (long I) in the real world was at Wal-Mart. I did a double take and realized it was talking about the new FDA approved weight loss pill (aka diet supplement). My friend Deb wrote a great entry about the pill today and makes this [...]
Itchy and scratchyPosted by Alli on June 2, 2007
My eyes are itching again, which seems to come with the summer months. I don’t know why summer triggers it, but for the last two years this has been my problem: It is actually my eyelid that itches, not the eyeball. And I itch in the skin under the eye as well. Both are very [...]
