No Woman, No Cry

Had a great night last night with the weight loss. Here are some nice images I captured of a bandstand in the park at dusk:

Malfunction Repaired

Here is last Monday's weigh in:

Yay! I lost 6.6 pounds this week! That's a total of 11.2 pounds so far! Here are week 2 pictures:

At the In-Laws

So today was the final day of 100 Days 2010. One chapter ends and hopefully a new one begins. Today we went to a picnic at Rich's mom's house where we got to see her cousin Barbra from Canada for the first time since our wedding. Also, we brought Elizabeth and she made a new friend in Tommy's girlfriend's daughter Haley. Overall, a good afternoon.

My Favorite Things

Kudos to me for going to Stew Leonard's and not even glancing at the soft serve ice cream flavors. In contrast to the creamy deliciousness of the Stew Leonard's ice cream stand, I present to you, a few of my favorite things, the healthy version:

Apples

Sweet Potatoes



Fresh Herbs



Serendipity(And Then There Was a Hot Air Balloon)

Bling Bling

Rich is at some crazy "My Big Fat Italian Fantasy Football Draft" so I am home alone on a Friday night searching for a or some creative sparks. His absence did allow me some time for a much needed nail fill and a polish change which I got and got an amazing dark but sparkly silver which as you will see in a moment does not photograph as well as I hoped. There will also be some rejects from my 100 Days piece for today.

Perspective

It's been a tough week at work so today I had to look for bright spots among the depression. Here are some of my favorite examples.

Still Coming Up Short

Finally got my other book shelf in today but it still doesn't hold all my books. I don't know what to do now.

Still Coming Up Short

Stay Positive

Austin

DDM

Today I spent most of the day in bed due to a debilitating combination of depression, dieting, and menstruation, sorry for the TMI but it's true. So here are some pictures I've taken previously that I really like.

One Giant Leap

So I had a successful first week on my VLCD medically supervised weight loss program. Here is the pic of my new weight courtesy of rock star nurse Jen who recently got engaged. (If I held the camera to take the picture it would add the weight of the camera which is about .6 pounds.)

I Lost 4.6 Pounds!

Week 1

Day 17 Continued

Went to the outlet mall with Mom, Colleen, and Elizabeth. Still had to contend with the rain but not as badly if we went to the company picnic.

Eye See You


I See You

Slightly Less Hungry

Tomorrow's the big first weigh in, I can't wait to see how I've done. In the mean time, here are some ways I've made meals a little more delicious and satisfying.

Blueberry and Apple Salad

Chicken Chimichurri with Rice, Peas, and Bread

Yes, Still Bruised and More Self-Portraits

Self(ish)-Portraits Day 15 Con't

Some budding photographer I am. It took me months and Internet research to finally figure out how to use the self-timer on my camera. I guess I will now begin experimenting with the vainglorious effort of self-portraits.


Here is one I kind of like though I know my mom will hate it:

Still Bruised

No work today due to previously mentioned falling injuries. I did get a fun trip to the doctor however and by fun I mean excruciatingly painful. But here is the updated picture of my bruise and some new ones as well as some cool jars from the doctor's office.

(Not) The Bell Jars

Bruised and Hungry

Last night while getting up to go to the bathroom I tripped and went flying halfway across my room bumping into dressers and eventually landing on the floor. I got just a little bit bruised. I wonder if part of it could be from adjusting to the 900 calorie diet.

Sad Little Dinner

Recycled

Today my energy level is the only thing lower than my inspiration level. I will share with you today some older pictures I've done and hope you enjoy them.

Feeling the Love

Back to Work

Back to work today and the air conditioner was broken. It feels good to be a productive member of society again but damn am I tired.

It Will Still Be There Tomorrow
