I’m feeling so sheepish. I didn’t post a blog yesterday. I also didn’t lose any weight. There is some very (good) stressful stuff happening with me right now and I’ve fallen back into the stress eating patterns. I haven’t careened completely out of control, mind you. The Rip-L-Chip supply in Calgary and area is still at a reasonable level. I’m … Read More

Hey, pal. Can I call you pal? Of course I can. Have you ever imagined trying to stop a speeding train? They don’t stop on a dime. Seems the Summer of Chips doesn’t either. Am I calling myself a train? Of course. Why wouldn’t I? It’s about time Sir Topham Hatt had a female engine in the yard. I would … Read More
LOSING LORI #48
Hello, friend! Welcome or welcome back to my weight loss adventure. If it’s your first time here, ummm – why? WHY DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT ME?! Har har. To catch y’all up (I’m Southern now), on August 1 of last year, I decided to lose some GD weight. And I did! I lost 60 pounds. If you ask me how, … Read More
LOSING LORI #47 – July 1, 2013
Happy Canada Day, joy-lovers! I wanted to check in with you to give you the straight goods on what’s going on with Losing Lori. Lori is NOT losing right now. Nay nay (see: John Pinette – amazing). After several months of busting my ample arse at the gym doing 90 minute work outs and eating rigorously healthy, I was seeing … Read More
LOSING LORI #46 – June 12, 2013
Hello dearhearts, I’m starting to wonder if I shouldn’t rebrand this blog as Maintaining Lori rather than Losing Lori. If you’ve been following along, you likely know that I haven’t lost much weight for quite some weeks now. Sometimes it’s really frustrating, particularly when I bust my ass to eat impeccably healthy (and yes, with an appropriately calculated caloric intake) … Read More

Hello, you little dickens. It’s two weeks post breakdown and I have to say I’m recovering nicely. I haven’t been militant with myself for several days. This is very important, I believe. I think there’s such a thing as weight loss burnout and it’s brought on by being consumed with the issue every minute or every day. I’ve also kept … Read More
LOSING LORI #44 – May 29, 2013
Hello, generous therapists! I call ye that because of the beautiful avalanche of comments following last week’s “Lori’s having a breakdown” blog. It’s very easy to feel isolated when you’re in a frustrated, depressed place. When your comments appeared with such empathy, support, insight and hilarity, I felt so GD supported. I sincerely thank you. Also, I make a point … Read More
LOSING LORI #43 – May 22, 2013
Hello, and welcome to my breakdown. On the outside, I’ve been enjoying my long weekend. I did a radio remote at a hot tub place which went fairly well until the owner’s dog suddenly turned into a raging tornado in my arms and I almost dropped her. She peed a little on the counter, and likely on me but I … Read More
LOSING LORI #42 – May 15, 2013
Greetings, friends! I have to be honest with you. Nothing major to report this week. I’m keeping close track of calories and it’s paying off. Yeah, I stood on that bitch scale a couple of times. Dysfunctional? Absolutely! But you deserve to know the truth. Breakups are tricky and sometimes you go back to your comfort zone whether it’s good … Read More
LOSING LORI #41 – May 8, 2013
Hello! I missed you. Get in here. So, as you know, I broke up with the scale last week. Not to over-dramatize, but it’s the same feeling as when you end an unhealthy friendship or relationship. For the first few days, I checked the scale. I thought, “Oh well, I don’t have to tell anybody so I won’t be judged. … Read More
