ADF Day 11: Bein’ Social…

This really has been a weekend for Being Social.

Oh, and this morning’s weight was 197.8.  Shocking, considering we had a Trivia Night last night, which meant spending several hours at a table heaped with snacky foods.  But I was smart and kept the veggie tray and hummus around me, so I don’t think I was ridiculously bad.

ADF Day 5: Weekend II: Second Day of Weekend!

Days like this make it clear to me why dieting has been harder lately..

ADF Day 1: It’s On Now

Okay.  The dreaded Holiday Season has passed, finally, and now I will be joining the throngs of Americans who return their thoughts to weight loss as part of a New Year’s Resolution.   I guess it’s nice not to be alone in this (not that I ever really am; I can nearly always count on Pangie to say, ‘Yeah! Let’s do it!” in response to any suggestion of a renewed effort in this quarter), and this time around I REALLY am not alone.   My wedding in June has become an impetus for my mother and sisters to start making a concerted effort also, so we’re all in it together now.

ADF, Day 6: Back to the Grind

I think I like my new ADF schedule.   It is a lot easier to fast while I’m at work, and so far today I’ve had a cup of tea and my vitamins, and that’s it.  I should probably drink more water, though.  I’ll make it a point to do that this afternoon.

ADF, Day 5: Clothing!

Second day of my first weekend.  Believe it or not, I’m already noticing good things. 

ADF, Day 4: WEEEEEEKENNNNND!

It’s Friday, but with my new shifted schedule I have hit my first ADF Weekend! 🙂  I’m walking as I type this, so I’m being good.. but today is also, as I promised my kids, Cookie Day… so after I’m done being good I am off to be very bad.  I’ll be making batches of sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, almond pound cake and maybe — dare I say it? — Chex mix!

ADF, Day 3: Keeping Busy…

I feel like I should be a lot further along than ‘Day 3’, but that’s only because strictly speaking this should be ‘Day 5’.  All the same, this was my third day of fasting for this round, and it has, thus far, gone pretty well.  The kids were off of school due to an ice storm, so I empowered Firstborn and Secondborn to make breakfast and lunch, respectively, and I spent the day upstairs, cleaning and wrapping presents.
