Fa La La – Oops, Wrong Holiday!
So it’s Halloween. I went to a little party over the weekend dressed as a “naughty Republican” – gray skirt suit with a miniskirt, and a white buttondown under the jacket. I had a vintage “Let’s Back Ronald Reagan for Governor” button on and that was it. It went well. I just bought tonight’s candy … Continue reading
Unsatisfying
It’s very disappointing when you decide “screw the diet, I haven’t had chocolate chip pancakes in a million years, that’s what I’m going to get” and then they are not very good and not very chocolatey at all.
Food and Money
A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless unless e chooses to identify emself, posted recently about spending money on food and then throwing it away. My friend said that wasting money, but saving calories/fat, was still a waste. I have a very different approach. I have been dieting, in various forms, for a few … Continue reading
Lactose Intolerant Doesn’t Mean Stupid
I was rather surprised by the following news bite from the Washington Post: A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that called for milk sold in the District to carry a warning label for people who are lactose intolerant. The suit, filed by an organization that promotes vegetarian diets, asserted that Giant, Safeway and other … Continue reading
Bullet Update
Today I am down to 161 pounds. I started 2006 at 187.5 pounds. That’s progress, but I still have a while to go. I now know three people who have the Sidekick 3. I am not one of them, and I only ever see one in person but he doesn’t usually have his with him … Continue reading
NutriSystem and More
I’m going to quit Diet to Go for a month and try NutriSystem‘s all-vegetarian diet. It doesn’t have as much variety and the food isn’t fresh (you don’t even have to refrigerate or freeze any of it, although you do buy your own fruits and veggies), so I probably won’t stay on it for a … Continue reading

Bulleted update, with the help of little mushrooms from binkybeads! I have been feeling vague passes of colds lately, like lots of sneezing or just feeling icky. Today it’s a sore throat, although I didn’t notice it until I had to do a bunch of voicing. Interpreting a phone call between a deaf client and … Continue reading
Stuff I Keep Forgetting
I lost 11 pounds in my first month on Diet to Go. I know it won’t continue at that rate, and I need to start exercising a lot more, but I am pleased with that start. I kind of exercised today: I went geocaching with a guy from the NoVAGO group. It was a couple … Continue reading
Can Birthdays and Diets Be Friends?
Today is my 25th birthday, and I am fretting about whether or not to go out to dinner. I have done extremely well with my diet, and I haven’t eaten anything inappropriate even in the face of emotional adversity. But it’s my birthday, and I want to go out to dinner. My plans are very … Continue reading
Diet Update
Just a brief update. The diet is going reasonably well; tonight right after dinner I had some milk and a pear and felt like I’d eaten too much, which is probably a good thing. The food continues to be tasty; the breakfasts have not been too interesting but the lunches and dinners have been quite … Continue reading
