Today, a few things happened. Today, I went to see my doctor, and I am now officially not taking Xenical any more. He is also pleased that I have joined the gym and is further pleased that I am following/rejoining (delete as applicable; ask me again on Monday) Weight Watchers, and has prescribed me Naproxen [...]

In Which Fatso Starts To Track
It’s amazing, how therapeutic it is to sit and fill in a Weight Watchers Tracker for the first time in a year, let me tell you. Now, don’t misunderstand: I didn’t rejoin Weight Watchers. My current financial situation doesn’t allow for that. What I’ve done instead, is I’ve decided that I’m going to track Points [...]
In Which Fatso Takes A Day Off
Yesterday was interesting. Thursdays are days, now, where I go swimming with Mum at night. Last night, I decided, that I would get the second part of my gym induction over and done with, because that would be official introduction to the weight training, and if I ever WANT to use the weights – they’re [...]
10 Things I Like About Myself AND In Which Fatso's Legs Fall Off
So, about ten days ago, GETHERFIT over at SparkPeople challenged me to write 10 things I like about myself after she commented to my SparkPage with 10 things she likes about herself. I’ve been thinking about this since she mentioned it, and she’s right – it’s hard. I keep thinking of things and realising they’re [...]
Website Updates
So, I’ve been fiddling about the website a little. Since I’ve had a few parties interested in advertising on the site, I’ve included an advertising page with notes regarding advertising on the website, reviews I do and links I put in my entries. I’ve updated the RSS, too – I’m now working through Feedburner, which [...]
Book Review: The Spark by Chris Downie
Book Review: The Spark by Chris Downie This review is because I enjoyed the book so much. I received no monetary compensation for it. In fact, I bought this book myself, with my own money! So, if anybody reading wasn’t aware, I have actually been a member of SparkPeople since 2007, when I [...]
My Back Pain and Me
I said, on Thursday on my SparkPeople Blog, that I was going to talk here about the back pain that I’ve been having lately. Of course, in the excitement over my 4lb weight-loss, I neglected to mention it at all! Okay, in January, I was put on Fluoxetine (trade name Prozac) for the depressive part [...]
It's That Time Again! (Weigh-In!)
So, it’s been two weeks since I last got weighed. I’m going to do it like this from now on, unless something catastrophic happens, like not being able to stand for 5 minutes without my hip hurting. Then I’ll get weighed and make sure it’s not my weight going up that’s the problem. But anyway! [...]
Again, on the subject of exercise:
I’ve mentioned the past couple of times on my SparkPeople status updates, that there’s one major factor in my workout lately: The music. Now, it’s only three songs I’m currently using (there are more on the playlist, but to be honest, the three songs add up to 12 minutes, and that’s enough right now) but [...]
Losing is the new black!
It was last Friday when I got weighed, so it’s not even really been a week yet. But since I was heading into the nurse today anyway, I figured I’d hop on the scale while I was in. When I went into the office, we were talking about my meds and the fact that I’d [...]
