Good Morning Tuesday! You’re a day I never think about too much, but oh not today! Today you are all mine as I have the day off and am determined to make you awesome!
Scrambled egg whites for breakfast
Shower, curl hair, try and look presentable
Bake cupcakes
Make a huge birthday card (complete with stickers, photos, witty comments)
Meet said birthday boy to give him his awesome prizes...
? Question ?
This past weekend I pondered the usual; food, weight, life etc and wondered the following question, which dear blog I’m going to ask you.
Personally? I’m leaning towards “yes,” but I’m not sure…
Q. Is it a turnoff when someone tells you they’ve lost a lot of weight? A. Yes? No? Neutral?

Straight Up?
I’ve been avoiding the “weight loss” topic slash trying to make y’all forget this is a weight loss blog by adding colourful photos (what are you saying? My readers aren’t like flies and aren’t easily distracted by shiny things?), as I’m ashamed of my current mass
Part of me sincerely doesn’t want to tell you and doesn’t think I will (right...
I’m in a RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY mood today. Perhaps it’s because it’s simply Friday, or because it’s a good friend’s birthday party tonight, or because I curled my hair last night and actually did my makeup properly this morning, or perhaps it’s because I like my outfit.
I can’t stop smiling, and guess what folks?! It’s got NOTHING to do with the scale,...
Ramblings of a Tubby 20 Somthing Lady
I remember being a kid and looking at all the 20-something ladies I saw and being in awe of them. I remember thinking how grown up and fabulous they were, with all their clothes, shoes and the fact that they spoke to boys (gasp!) and went on dates. .
I have clear memories of running around the playground and imagining my young adult self. I was simply fabulous. I had a bling bling diamond ring,...
Things that Rock and / or Roll slash I Love.
I’ve been told the day is what you make it, and thus dear Thursday, you? are going to be phenomenal. Love E.
Nail polish. The brighter the better.
Ice Cream. All ice-cream. Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, any time of day I will eat it. If I could choose one cal-free item? it would be ice-cream.
Orchids, they hold a special place in my heart.
My hair, it does what I tell it. It...
I’ve been feeling so judged lately. Judged by everyone and their mother: life, work, friends, family, you. I can’t pinpoint exactly why or what has triggered it, I suppose it’s the fact that I’m technically failing at the concept of a weight loss blog.
Aka no weight is being lost.
It’s easier to write when things are going well, easier to tell stories about feeling...

I used to cry a lot. When I fucked up and ate a lot, I used to cry.
A lot.
If I was young, stupid, and still naive I would cry right now, but sadly that’s just not the case. I wish so much I had simply lost the weight way back when… my life story has included too many chapters about food, the scale, weight; it’s rather depressing.
I know now I should have been crying...
Are Your Legs Tired? As You've Been Running...
This morning, as I was lining up for my morning coffee, I saw two guys (my guess? 26ish, I.Bankers) walk by me, literally stop, and obviously discuss me. It was ridiculous at how blatantly they were staring at my legs (so ridiculous the guy I was with, was even shocked). Yes I am wearing 4” heels, yes I am wearing a skirt that sits above my knee, yes my legs are still very burnt, yes I know...
The below is advice I received from the lovely Nutritionista, I think about it often. ___________________________________________________________________
My dear 125, Though I don’t consider my lifestyle a diet, I live the way I do because I know that “health” is a never-ending journey. There will be NO point at which I stop striving for health. So I figure, since I’m...

“Never Quit. Don’t ever, ever quit. Recognize that stopping now, regrouping...”
One Hundred and Sixty F*cking Five.
I’ve come to the conclusion that “165” is the weight my body settles at when I eat well 50% of the time, and like crap the other 50% of the time. It’s the weight my booty settles on when I’m trying to lose weight and (let’s be honest) not doing that great of a job ’trying’ (excuse me, I have to clear my throat; cough, cupcakes, beer, wine, chocolate, candy, fromage, cough). If I’m honest with...
Sigh...
I just had one of those “I-feel-like-I-look-good-today-and-am-walking-with-confidence” notions, but then got a glimpse of myself in a reflection, and all my confidence left in a nano-second.
Aggrhhh. Still so far to go.
