Is it Hot in Here? (I think so, but others don't)

5 Jan 2024 5 minute read 0 comments 7th Decade Redhead

One of my personal arguments for promoting and being on the calorie deficit diet is that it is 'science' based. I believe that we are subject to laws of thermodynamics. If you asked me weeks ago what I meant by that, I would have 'smartly' (cluelessl...

It's Not a Soap Opera..... (But it felt like one...)

  I wrote this before the horrible tragedy struck our family New Year's Eve day (see January 2nd's post).  I know it's a bit long... sorry.   It's the day after Christmas. My husband and I are alone in our home once again. There is a sense of relief...

Calorie Deficit Diet Reboot. (This is not how I wanted to start this...)

3 Jan 2024 5 minute read 2 comments 7th Decade Redhead

Day one of the reboot of my calorie deficit diet. It's 6:11 am and I am sitting here with my coffee, the requisite one tablespoon of half and half added, which I measured and logged in My Fitness Pal. I got up and stepped on the scale. I've gained se...

My weight loss journey: starting the diet

2 Jan 2024 1 minute read 1 comment Namae

Sorry I spoiled the content on the tittle but just naming this post "January's goals" didn't seem right, as the diet is planned to transcend this month and become an integral part of my life. So I made an hypocaloric diet myself. I've put some work,...

My weight loss journey: first month wrap-up

31 Dec 2023 1 minute read 1 comment Namae

It's been a whole month since my very first post, where I decided some goals that would help me build healthier habits that would serve me on the long run. I don't want to say the whole month has been a fiasco but... welp. It was, indeed, a fiasco. ...

Playtime is OVER (You gotta love Red Foreman....)

One of my favorite TV shows several years ago was "That 70's Show." I grew up in the 1970s, so I was able to watch my teenaged angst from the outside and laugh at how silly we were back in those days. As far as I'm concerned, they nailed teenage life...

The Dog Ate My Homework... (Pssss.... you're not ready..)

27 Dec 2023 5 minute read 0 comments 7th Decade Redhead

One thing I've noticed since I've lost weight is that my conversations with friends inevitably include talking about what I did to lose it, which leads to a discussion of the calorie deficit diet. This mainly happens with friends who I don't speak wi...

My weight loss journey: week 3 - late update

25 Dec 2023 2 minute read 0 comments Namae

More than a week has come and passed since my last update and let me tell you it hasn't been exactly pretty. I fell with yet another cold - the third one in the last month and a half. The gist of this one is that it came just in time for the last wee...

I Wish...... (Hey Santa! Are you listening?)

This year, our immediate and extended family arrived from all over the US, to celebrate Christmas at what we call "The Family Compound" in Texas. My husband and his siblings all live next door to each other. This is a recent development in our lives...

Introduction It was a cold and dark November night when everything started with an announcement on a local website that the Corfu Hiking and Climbing Club is organising a hiking excursion on the NW Corfu from Troumpeta to Doukades and that new membe...
