True Confessions

Normally my true confessions posts consist mainly of embarrassing choices regarding food. Today, I’m going a different direction. I’m going to talk about my feelings. Buckle up. I’m pregnant and emotional and its not pretty. In less than three weeks, unless baby decides to come early, I will be a mother of two. And truthfully? [...]

Recipe: Alfredo Sauce!

I only allow myself to have the “real thing” alfredo sauce quarterly (although lately it’s been maybe twice a year now.) But for every day, I’ve drummed up something that is a very, very close second — minus the guilt. I give you: My Alfredo Sauce. Oh sure the real thing has that smooth buttery [...]

Editors’ Weekly Round-Up:: Easter, SELF, Sugar and More.

Good afternoon!!! Well, maybe it’s NOT so good, but I’m trying to be positive despite this horrible headache I have and the fact that I woke up to this: The really dumb thing is that we have gotten a few more inches since then!! **Our very own Lisa and Christy are participating in the ZOOMA [...]

Stuck in a Rut

Stuck in a Rut

Ever had that horrible feeling you were stuck in a rut?  That feeling that you were just doing the same old thing you’ve always done, but nothing seems to be changing? That’s kind of where I’m at right now, and I know some others are as well due to conversations I’ve had on Twitter, Facebook, [...]

Sometimes you just have to…

Sometimes you just have to…

I have a question for you… Is there something that you can do now that you have lost weight? Something that you couldn’t do when you were overweight, but you’ve made enough changes that it’s a possibility now? For me, it’s wearing dresses. When I was overweight, I rarely wore dresses. When I did have [...]

True Confessions

It’s THAT day of the week.  You know the one where you come clean about the previous week’s transgression, successes, and/or struggles.  I mentioned in my heart to heart  last week that I have been struggling lately.  Life was stressful and so very crazy busy and at times sad, BUT we are done with the [...]

Can You Overcome Cravings Just Through Imagination?

Researchers have found that imagining eating a particular food resulted in people eating less of that food later. It might sounds counter-intuitive – if I describe a chocolate ice cream cone: rich, dark brown creaminess with lumps of fudgy brownie sprinkled throughout….kind of makes you want one more, doesn’t it? But what these researchers at [...]
