Pin itToday I feel great! I’ve been counting and logging every single point since Wednesday and it feels empowering to know exactly what I’m consuming!!

Pin itHave you ever wondered why some people lose weight and others do not on the same diet? That question is what led me to research Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s book, Eat Right for Your Type. His own research has led him to believe that the blood type is “the key that unlocks the door to [...]
Pin itMy mom was in town yesterday and stayed at our place. Her, Justin, and I stayed up pretty late talking and having drinks. After I went to bed, one of my twin boys woke up crying several times and the other one came into my bed before 5 and had a fever and tummy [...]
Pin itThis post is more of a note to myself than anything else. I wanted to write down everything I ate for Thursday. Writing down what goes in my mouth really makes me feel more accountable for my actions. Over time, I think I will see a pattern to my eating habits. I am going [...]

Pin itThis past week has been a whirlwind of emotions and I’m guessing the scale would only make it worse. You know what happens with me and emotions? Eating. Yes, even when I’m not hungry I will find something full of fat and sugar to eat. It’s automatic and a bad habit I have been trying to [...]

Pin itAfter the complete debacle that was my weigh-in this morning, I decided to get my butt in gear and start counting my points. I mean, I actually pay for a Weight Watchers Online subscription and it just sits there, unused, wasting away. So today I drug out my trusty food scale, my measuring cups [...]
