What Works for you.... Works... (It doesn't have to work for me)

One of the things I struggle with is thinking that my way of thinking and doing a diet, i.e. the calorie deficit diet, is the way to go for everyone. I truly believe that from a physiological standpoint, this is the best option for most people to los...

I Want To Do That.... (Or do I???)

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that three years of COVID precautions, lockdowns, and mandated whatevers caused most of our lives to detour on a side trip that interrupted the daily course of our lives.  Life had changed. Even though we will never...

This is probably an "old person" thing, but as we have aged, my husband and I have looked for things to lighten our burden, both personally and financially.  Two years ago, we started the cliche retired life of spending our winters in a warm-ish plac...

Yesterday, we hosted the first family dinner since our niece passed away New Year's Eve Day. There were eight of us, including her parents and brother. My husband and I were very tense and feeling the stress of not knowing what to expect with respect...

"You Are What You Eat" (It's on Netflix and I'm watching it)

I'm writing about this show today because it's relevant to my blog topic, weight loss.  The show is labeled as 'entertainment and informative" and not meant to be taken as medical advice.   It's a documentary that follows several sets of twins who we...

I have a dog. I've had her for some time now. My uncle brought her as a present to me and as a way to keep me active. At this time I'd gotten ill because of my rapid weight gain, which is a different story.  The thing about my dog is that she likes t...

Just Eat Less (Why didn't I think of that... eye roll..)

I've written about this before, but because we are on Week One of calorie deficit diet for you and a reboot of the diet for me (and maybe you as well if you have done this diet before), I feel it is important to bring it up again.  You may also be pa...

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

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...)

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...
