Cece: My Tommy’s Adventure

So the kids are on summer vacation and my nephew is over for the week, so I decided to take them to the beach yesterday for a few hours just to get out of the house and get some fresh air and sun.  But first, we took Matt, my second youngest son (17) to have [...]

Cece: It’s finally happening!

Wow!  I’ve lost 15 pounds!  I am so happy!  I have to tell you, though, I was feeling very discouraged there for a while.  I was following the program to the letter, I was not cheating, and I was not losing.  Then suddenly this morning, I got up and weighed myself and there it was…280!!  [...]

Cece: Switching scales

Okay.  So we have two scales…one is a digital scale (not to mention, a huge pile of CRAP) and the other is a doctor’s scale that has a center weight on it so you are assured it’s at zero before you get on it.  I have been weighing myself on the digital scale, and I [...]

Cece: I’m discouraged, but I ain’t gonna quit!
