WW English Muffins, how I love you so.

**Originally posted by Crooked Eyebrow, January 2009**
I am a huge English muffin fan. Whether we use them for homemade egg sandwiches or just for a light breakfast.  Since I started to watch points and what I am eating, I almost felt like I was “wasting” points on bread. I don’t know about you, but I [...]

Fiber. Clearing the way to better health.

So four days into the Kellogg’s All bran 10-day promise and I can honestly say that it is truly easy to add fiber to your diet. Even if only one serving at a time.  For me, adding a fiber packed snack has been the easiest. I feel that I’m clearing the way to better health, [...]

I set a goal…

I set a goal to walk 5 times this week on the treadmill and I am failing miserably. Yesterday I read so many blogs that were talking about shredding and how they felt good afterwards. Just reading them pumped me up. Thinking to myself  “this is exactly what I need to read, I need motivation”.
Well [...]

It may not be shredding but my butt hurts….

While everyone here at the sisterhood is gearing up to start the Shred challenge on Monday, I’ll be sitting this challenge out. Something tells me that being 3 1/2 months pregnant and doing the  30 day shred challenge isn’t a great idea for an out of shape  pregger momma.
I couldn’t stand by and not do [...]

Well hello again…

Well hello again…
That is about all I can come up with after being gone so long. Shame on me, I know. After finally saying good bye to the first trimester, I am for once feeling like myself again. It seemed that sitting at the computer and trying to type something, anything just made me sick [...]

When my body has other plans…

I thought I had this whole week planned out with meal planning. Wrong. In attempts to conquer morning, afternoon and evening sickness I was a wee bit closer to figuring out what worked for me, or so I thought. What did work, isn’t working quite so well now.
My plan was to eat small, frequent, healthy [...]

Plantar fasciitis

When we introduced the couch to 5K program on how to run, the first thing I thought of was, “Is this going to flare up my plantar faciitis again?”
Have you heard of plantar fasciitis before? It all starts at the plantar fascia — the tissue along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel [...]
