Cheating! I’m a cheater and I am confessing this to you. I have cheated with food. Sometimes it’s as innocent as the fun size Butterfinger candy bar I am nibbling on while I write this post. Other times it could be a full out pig fest. Maybe a philly steak sandwich with waffle fries, three [...]
I don’t have a recipe for today. Instead, I would like to share with you something that I have recently learned. Some of you may already know this. Especially if you’re a vegan. If so, I am sorry, but some of you may find this helpful. And you may can help me! Recently we learned [...]
OK. Let’s have a little chat, shall we? Today I want to talk about one of the basic food groups: NACHOS. (Stick with me here.) I have always, always given myself one meal of whatever I want per week. Even when I was being as strict as you can possibly imagine on calories, I set [...]
Tis, the holiday season, and odds are, you have lots of holiday parties and events planned, right? If you’re really focusing on weight loss, you’re also probably worried about stuffing yourself with all kinds of holiday goodness. You’re afraid that you’ll undo all of the hard work that you have done by indulging in all [...]
Start drinking extra water right now. Yes, now. Right this very minute in fact. Go fill up and I’ll be here when you get back. Wake up on Thursday morning and get out of the house. First thing! You’ve got to get up early to get the turkey in the oven anyway, so set that [...]
Have you ever tried chicken sausage? It’s fantastic. I never even knew it existed until I began the journey into calorie-counting and I found it as an ingredient for something on Spark People. Its whereabouts in the grocery store perplexed me so I wandered around looking for it and found it above the breakfast sausage [...]
Good morning, everyone! How was your week this week? Did you stick it to that scale? Did it give you the business this morning? Go ahead, weigh in, post about it and leave your link in the comments! Or you can just weigh in below. Either way, tell us what happened this week! And seriously, tell [...]
I think my children might be vegetarian and it’s of no work on my part, not that there’s anything wrong with it of course. But I’m as carnivorous as they come (big fan of the warm red center. BIG FAN.) But when I make a meatless dinner as opposed to a meatFUL dinner, I get [...]
Good morning! Have you had your breakfast this morning?? If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times. EAT YOUR BREAKFAST! No, it’s not me yelling at you, it’s them. You know the ones. The ones we refer to when saying “They say you should eat your breakfast!” Whoever “they” are. The really smart people who do all those [...]
I see a lot of new faces around here (HURRAH!!!) so to recap what The Monday Project is, each week we have a “project” or a “question” that helps you renew your motivation and/or reflect upon yourself. You have the whole week to do it and we link up our “answers” or “projects” on Fridays. [...]
When my husband was out of town last weekend, I missed a ride with my triathlon group because I didn’t have anyone to watch the kids. (I used the bike trainer in my living room instead.) And that was just fine with me, it was freakin cold outside and after everyone got done with the [...]
The Rethink Your Shrink Challenge has come to a barely slightly early end and this is the final Monday Project for the challenge. I know! Where did the time go?! Today what we really want to know is, how did you do? And we mean really. How did you do? Got some pictures?? Did you discover [...]
Oh dear shrinkers, rethinkers, and rethinking your shrinkers! I cannot fathom the fact that this is the last weigh-in of the Rethink Your Shrink Challenge! Don’t pay attention to the sister behind the computer who’s getting all teary-eyed! (Um, edited to note: Boy, we can’t get anything past you guys, huh!? No, you’re not crazy. Apparently [...]
I’m getting a little misty-eyed over here! Rethink Your Shrink is coming to an end! Are you ready? Did you rethink? And moreover, did you shrink? What happened over the past 7 weeks? Did you move more? Did you find victories? Did you find non-scale victories? Did you do something you’ve never done before? [...]
When you first start trying to lose weight, it feels like no one really believes that you’re going to stick it out. Ya know, based on past histories if you have them, like me. At first there’s resistance. You get a lot of questions. A lot of tests. “Mom, can we buy those cookies? Honey, do [...]
