New Kitty!
Her name is Pluto, and she is a Munchkin. This is a natural mutation, and has no health issues associated with the short legs. She is pretty shy, and has spent most of her time hanging out under our bed. She has not met the other resident cat yet (who is almost twice her size!) [...]
New Home
So, things are moved over to wordpress now. I still have some tinkering to do. BTW, Cablevision SUCKS when it comes to DNS updates. And, since I cannot install wordpress without having HTML access, that is why the blog was down for so long. Hopefully that will not need to happen again any time soon.
Sleep and LHAS Activity-In
I slept 11 hours last night. It felt so good! Not sure how to title these. It is the “weekly weigh in,” except I am not weighing (publicly, at least). So, I am just matching my activity. Lets see; Four days with 30 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus.Two days with 30 minutes each on [...]
"One to Two pounds per week": Diet Phrases
This is the first in a series of rants “correcting” often repeated dieting phrases. I really hate the phrase “healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.” First, I dislike the phrase because it makes it seem that our weight loss is not adequate if we do not hit one pound per week. We can [...]
Long Hot Active Summer
Im late! As usual! I signed up for the Long Hot Active Summer Challenge. As I am not focusing on weight loss here, I am not participating in the weight loss challenge, however, I am focusing on activity! That is my picture over there. I really don’t want to admit how much I have gained [...]
Activity vs Food
I really hate all the “anti-obesity” initiatives. I hate the focus on weight as an indicator of health. I hate that we stigmatize fat people, and try to shame them into losing weight My newest outrage is the emphasis on food. Food and eating is a major part of people’s lives. As someone who lives [...]
The Wii Fit Tricked Me!
I like my Wii Fit Plus. But it can be evil sometimes. I got into the cycling part of it. You “cycle” around the island by walking on the Wii Fit Board. You have to find flags and bike over them, and you have to find all of them and return to the starting line. [...]
Weight Watchers
I joined Weight Watchers. I like having a structure. I like having things spelled out for me. I know that “eating moderately” is the best way, but what is moderate for me for cupcakes is probably not what, say, a nutritionist would say. I also got involved with a twitter group, which is fabulous! I [...]
Nutritional Value of Cupcakes
Cupcakes are good for the soul, and that is all the need they need. (The End.) I can geek out on numbers sometimes. So, when a recent discussion started on calories in cupcakes, I wanted to find out more. I Love Cupcakes. So much that my favorite dessert is Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting, but [...]
Shopping in Poor Areas
I live in Brooklyn, in an area that is not known for being “upscale.” A few shopping escapades: In the local (around the corner) grocery store, my salad (3.99) cost more than my 12 pack of sodas (3.66). The salad is one of the few fresh produce items that I would consider, and I had [...]
