It's been almost a year since I started this adventure. That's amazing. I started in February - I was late getting with the program. And I'm so glad I did. (Yay for Fondles and thank you for getting me focused!) I started with these goals: Eat lessUse my stupid Fitbit to count calories Reduce carbs … Continue reading FFF – 12/28/18 – End of the Year Edition

FFF – 12-21 & Winter Solstice
My FFF is quick and ugly. Steps - 2,900/day average. Scale - 157.8 Book - no words. Zero. "What?" you say, "What happened to the bold assertions of last week?"' Um, where have all the flowers gone? (Hahaha...) Well, we did Christmas with my sister and brother-in-law on Tuesday, I worked extra other days to … Continue reading FFF – 12-21 & Winter Solstice
FFF 12-14-18
Here we go. Steps average = 4,593. Worse than last week, better than the week before. Sigh. I didn't have a big step day this last weekend so that doesn't help. I haven't been to the gym this week at all. I have gotten on the scale some though, and am a bit dismayed to … Continue reading FFF 12-14-18
FFF – 11-23
We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, including acknowledging the genocide of indigenous people which underlies the establishment of this country. Then we had a Thanksgiving feast and appreciated each other and the bounty in our lives. It was just the 5 of us - me and Sir, my daughter and the grands - but we had a … Continue reading FFF – 11-23
FFF 11-16
157 - apparently, my chunky little self has locked into that weight. I can't complain because I'm eating anything I want and not even moving much. Like I was chained to my desk. 3,392 average steps. Yep. That's my sad little step count. Not even half of my already low goal. Sigh. Don't you love … Continue reading FFF 11-16
FFF 10-26
4,862. That's my sad little average step count this week. Ugh. Not enough. I'm not taking enough steps, not drinking enough water. Not spending enough time on my classes or building my website. Not spending enough time on my regular job. Not writing enough. Not managing my diet well enough. Not sleeping enough. Not enough. … Continue reading FFF 10-26
FFF 10-19
And here we are again. Reporting in - step count is DOWN. 5,924. Weight is UP. I would like for that to be the other way around. Ok, and maybe my weight is not actually up, but hovering around 156, 157. Sigh. I feel kind of old today. When I look at the challenges ahead … Continue reading FFF 10-19
FFF – 10-12
The theme for today's post is sleep - lovely, elusive, delightful, can't-get-enough-of-it sleep. “Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.” ― Heraclitus, Fragments But not I. Wide awake since about 3:30 this morning. Sigh. “Insomnia is a variant of Tourette's--the waking brain races, sampling the … Continue reading FFF – 10-12
FFF – 10-5
Good grief, the weeks fly by. One minute it's last Friday, and the next thing I know, I wake up and it's this Friday. AND i'm not doing so well this week in terms of food and nutrition. Too many carbs. My glucose levels are not always as low as I want. Last night, I … Continue reading FFF – 10-5
FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
I didn't quite realize that yesterday was Friday. Ok, that sounds silly, but it's true. I'm traveling for work and that's always a little bit like being in a separate universe. So i knew it was Friday, my brain just didn't connect it to being here. Until about 3 o'clock in the morning. When i … Continue reading FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
