V8: High Fiber

I’ve a confession.  I’ve never had V8 before in my life.  Ever.  A while back I wrote about hearing that V8 had a new high fiber version out.  Unfortunately, when I wrote about it, I was unable to find it anywhere! I eventually gave up, but when I went grocery shopping at Super-Walmart this weekend, I finally found it!  In fact, it was pretty much by accident.  I just happened to notice it as I was passing by. I think it was pretty good!  Kind of like a cold tomato soup.  It is a little salty, though, so you better watch the [ ... ]

Measurements

To anyone wanting to lose weight, especially a great deal of weight, I highly recommend that you get in the habit of taking your measurements from the very first day. It is a wonderful way to encourage yourself.  There are times when you just might not be seeing the results on the scale, even though you know that you’ve been working your butt off.  Sometimes those results will show up in inches lost. Unfortunately, I didn’t start taking my measurements until after I’d already lost 15 pounds.  But it’s given me [ ... ]

Cheese and Me

I am all about the cheese.  Seriously, folks, I love cheese.  I crave cheese like a junkie craves heroin. Of all the things about my restricted diet that I hate, having to cut down on my cheese intake is the one that hurts the most. Don’t even think about letting me near one of those cheese stores that sells all of the various types of cheese.  You know, those ones that have the little sample cartons next to each kind of cheese?  We’re talking Pamela heaven here. Why?! Why in God’s name?!? I shout it to the heavens, does cheese have to be so [ ... ]

More about my Sunday walk

When telling you about my walk around the park on Sunday, I forgot to tell you a couple of things that I saw! The first (and best) was a man riding a unicycle!  I kid you not!  It was great.   I don’t know how he was doing it, but it looks like a great ab workout. The second was this one bench.  Every time I passed by, there was someone different sitting on it.  On my final lap, a man was sitting there with his girlfriend (at least I assume it was his girlfriend since she had her head in his lap).  [ ... ]

I just got my ass kicked

It’s been almost a year since I let Leslie Sansone out of her box.  I think she wanted revenge.  She succeeded in her mission and sufficiently kicked my ass. My new friend, Carlos, set the bar really high exercise-wise this week.   Without even realizing it, he issued a challenge.  And again, without him realizing it, I took him up on it!  After having a rough night, he still got out there and exercised.  I could think of no reason (none that would sound good to anyone other than my own warped mind anyway) why I couldn’t work out tonight. Because I work [ ... ]

Fat Days?

Tell me, do you have fat days?  We all have days where we feel less than our best.  In fact, most days seem to be such days for me.  ) However, I never understood the concept of “fat pants.”  Until now.  Because frankly, every day was a fat day for me, and I was so overweight that a few pounds never made much of a difference. I currently have two pairs of identical pants.  The only difference between them is that they are one size apart.  Yesterday, the larger size fit better.  Today, the smaller size fits better.  What gives?  I did [ ... ]

Weigh-In 5/6/08 (Week 100)

It’s week 100!  I can’t believe I’ve been on Weight Watchers for 100 weeks now!  Unfortunately, but as I suspected, I gained this week.  I didn’t do anything differently this week and stuck to my points, but I knew it was coming.  I could feel it.  Happily, though, it’s nothing to worry about.  At least I don’t think so.  I only gained 0.3 lb.  )  I’ll be back down next week!

Nabisco 100 Calorie Mister Salty Chocolate Covered Pretzels

While grocery shopping today, I came across a new 100 calorie pack:  Nabisco 100 Calorie Mister Salty Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels.  That’s a mouthful! I LOVE chocolate covered pretzels.  There’s just something about the combination of the sweet chocolate with the salty pretzels that sends my taste buds into orbit. Until now, I’ve been feeding this addiction with the 100 calorie Hershey Pretzel sticks (seriously yummy).  While I still think the Hershey’s brand is a bit better, you definitely feel like you’re getting more with the Mister Salty’s brand.  They are O-shaped pretzels covered in milk chocolate.  Since there are several in [ ... ]

A Touch of Nature

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day.  It was around 68 degrees.  The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there was a cool breeze. Normally, the terms “exercise” and “Pamela” don’t co-exist in the same air space.  However, I was feeling a bit energetic today for some reason and after a rousing game of Scrabble with my mom (she beat me by six points), I decided to go for a walk around the lake near my house.  Yes, me!  A walk!  Outside even! This is the same lake that I used to play at as a child.  So, as I walked around [ ... ]

Old me, new me, me who?

You hear a variety of comments from people who have lost a lot of weight.  Usually they run in about two different ways: 1)  Comments about feeling like a completely different person, about the “old me,” and the “new me.” 2)  Comments about being the same person, just smaller. For myself, I think I fall somewhere in between.  I believe that I am the same person I was before, just a bit more confident and more willing to be who I am regardless of what others think. My interests haven’t changed all that much. I still love to read and [ ... ]
