This week has been hard. It started with an orgasmic display at JoJo’s Pizza involving barbecue chicken thin crust. I would argue that I ate all of my flex points in one glorious sitting.
But last night, my friends, last night. My husband went with quickie dinner prep and made frozen chicken cheese quesadillas for the kids. [...]

Hey you! Psssst. Come here! Closer…cuh-lowser!!!!
Listen, there’s this food I found out about. You can eat a ton of it. It’s salty and hot and seriously, they serve it by the bucket. They want you to eat it by the bucket. And you can put butter on it. And here’s what…Weight Watchers hasn’t figured it out [...]

I’ve been good. I swear. I get 22 points a day (which is I think, “roughly” the equivalent of 1300 calories… though WW does it all scientific and factors in fiber, fat, taste, baseline neurosis of the eater etc.) I get 35 “flex” points per week (which means…Greta…don’t give up…even if you break down and [...]

For those of you just joining us…Monday I was ranting about how I hate my hair.
I still hate my hair.
But…I am on day 3 since rejoining Weight Watchers and so far so good. I damn well better lose a pound or 2 this week though or there will be Honeybuns to scarf.
Anyway…I attempted to use [...]

Actual scene between Loser Husband (LH) and me…whilst getting ready for the (no joke) 11th family kid birthday party in the month of September (note to family members…quit having unprotected sex on New Year’s Eve!)
The Set Up: I have nothing to wear. My fat clothes are tight on me and it’s too depressing to buy bigger fat [...]

Razofrakafuganoogit!!!!
Scientists are now telling me that the only part of my body that will shrink by eating veggies is my brain. Did anyone else read this?
Yeah…ok…trying to breathe here. Let me take if from the top.
Apparently, scientists studied French people who ate lots of veggies. And there brains were smaller (um…the veggie-eaters, not the scientists…but [...]

It’s not goin’ well peeps. I’ve carbgasmed my way to the end of the summer. I never got it together save for 10 days of lost water weight glory before our vacation.
So I recommit. I’m giving myself until Monday. I will start again on Monday. The kiddos will be in school. Both of them. All [...]

Something happened to me this weekend. An enlightening. An epiphany. The secret to the universe. Now, I know I’ve cried the epiphany wolf before, but this time people, this time is different.
I discovered something amazing. Life altering. Something that puts pep in my step. Vim in my vigor.
I got up, on a Sunday morning wanting [...]

Here’s a Greta’s Greatest Hits from April of ‘08 (on account of I had a total blog-noonan this morning and couldn’t come up with something…it could happen to anyone right?)
Here she is. My bathroom scale. I call her Low-la.
I think it’s ironic, like calling a bald man curly. Low-la hates me actually. Over the years [...]

Happy Monday morning!!!!
I’m back and suffering from serious post-vacation reentry syndrome. I’ve missed you all terribly. We had a marvelous time and my vacation stats are as follows:

As Kiki posted yesterday, we’re in the middle of a redesign. It’s kind of like having 25 pairs of black shoes and 20 pairs of flip-flops. We like to change. So we switched temporarily back to our theme from way back in January, when we started this whole crazy journey.
Which got me to thinking…where am I going and where have I [...]

So it’s low carb. DAM -MIT!!!
Except I’ve been religiously low carb for 9 days. I’ve lost 5 pounds. We leave for the lake in 3 days. But it’s going to be ok right? It’s just the four of us. Me, my husband and the kids. We’re cooking everything we eat. It won’t be like last year. [...]

T-minus 5 days in the Vacation Fat Emergency. We are living for the lake on Saturday. There will be sun, there will be fun, there will be me in a swimsuit.

So…I whipped out the ketostix this morning [...]

The other day I posted about my tips for dealing with those extra pounds that I was planning to lose before vacation, but didn’t. Among other things, I ordered new bathing suits online. Well…they came today.
This one was a bust, I’m afraid. I dunno, it just didn’t hold me in like I was hoping and [...]

Previously on Back Feels to Traction Heals*: Greta began seeing Chad, the aspiring fireman/physical therapist. She’d experienced some numbness in her hands and feet for which she freaked out about, convinced herself she had no less than twelve terminal debilitating illnesses and ended up in the emergency room with a panick attack one day after work calmly and rationally sought the advice of [...]
