songbird's crazy world

Becca is going on vacation with "friends" (read that:  the boyfriend I'm not supposed to know about.)  They are headed to the Dominican Republic for a week of tropical sun and sand. Meanwhile Jen is planning her summer weekends -- her boyfriend will be tending bar on Fire Island again, which means she'll be hanging out at the beach if she wants to see him.  Marvin's status is still in limbo.  There was some talk of sending him back to Shelley's house, despite all the issues, but he'd have to have a home health care aide.  since it take a couple of months to get approval for an aide, he's staying at the nursing facility for the time being.  Drew is still exploring ways to make it permanent.  In the meantime, he bought some summer clothes and sneakers for Marvin -- Shelley hasn't bothered to bring any of Marvin's things to the facility. She's still convinced, by the way, that Drew is "trying to take Marvin away from her," tha...

Our Weight Watchers at Work program fell apart months ago. And so did my participation in the program. Lately I have been feeling uncomfortable, weighed down, sluggish. Totally lacking in energy. And totally out of control regarding my food choices. Tonight I signed up for Weight Watchers On Line. Wish me luck.

First, my news.... Gained a bit over Thanksgiving, not a shock.  Could have been worse.  Weight Watchers has roiled out a new program, all the point values are different.  I have to learn program all over again.  A real challenge, but I will manage.  Still annoyed that there's no app for my Droid...they gave us a calc ulator with a shortcut to the mobile website, not nearly as functional as the app they made for iPhone -- I ought to know, I have the app o the i/touch, but it loses functionality when I'm out of wifi range. the show... So last week Lisa went home, and now there are 6 players.  After tonight there will be 4 -- there will be a red line and a yellow line.  It's the last week on campus. first up is a pop challenge, with a money prize.  It's sponsored by Subway sandwiches and  it's about exercises...got a phone call and missed who won...figured I would check the website...found out that Brendan and Patrick were the final...

So, OK, I watched the premier last week.  good to see Bob and Jillian again.  they started with an anti-obesity message. It's individuals this time around, not couples or friends or relatives.   the show staff  went to 7 different cities and in each city there were 3 people competing for 2 spots on the ranch.  Really couldn't get into who's who just yet.  but it's an interesting mix of characters. I'm thinking it's time to go back to Weight Watchers.  I'm feeling gross and disgusting.  And the next WW at Work cycle begins today.  Wish me luck.

Weight Watchers, that is. the weight's gone up, the weight's gone done. and up again. time for it to go down again....especially if I plan to climb Mayan pyramids in February. it's not set in stone yet, but we're talking about a trip to Cancun. I was able to keep up with Drew so long as we were walking on flat ground. as soon as we hit hills or stairs... yep, it's time to start training for those pyramids...

this is "Hungry", the mascot for Weight Watchers' new "Momentum" program. everyone at the meeting yesterday would like to have one. hey, if Ty can make Sasha and Malia doll, why not make a "Hungry" doll, too? I'd keep mine on my desk at work, for inspiration. same reason I watch "the Biggest Loser" every Tuesday night. I'm trying to find my groove. or actually, "rediscover" would be a better word. I lost 70 pounds...then stopped eating right and stopped exercising, and gained back 40. last night I did a 30 minute workout and thought I was going to die. I'm doing "Relay for Life" in June, I've got to get back in shape for it!
