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 […]
No sooner did I fire off this post about The Bank did I have plenty to put in there myself. Oh do I have a story or two to tell and I hope you do too! What? I’m sorry? You have no idea what The Monday Project is? Well, then come on in and have […]
We’re continuing the ooey gooey chocolatey goodness this weekend with a sweet, delicious recipe perfect for Valentine’s Day! I found this recipe on Weight Watchers, and guess what my family is getting for their Valentine’s treat? Yup. Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes with Chocolate Crusts. A mere 3 points in Weight Watchers. Or 150 calories/5 grams of […]
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? […]
**UPDATED! WINNER of the GU giveaway is: LadyG8r!! Congrats!! Please send me your snail mail address at [email protected]!** I love GU. Pronounced “goo.” GU is an energy gel. What is this energy gel I speak of? And who should be eating these? And why? Do we really need these in our lives? Yes. But not […]
We’re all good. We’re all great. We are all wearing our little shiny halos, right? NOT!!!! Maybe I’m just speaking for myself but I gotta tell ya, I have one big confession on this True Confessions day and it all centers around last Wednesday. Oh, that fateful day. I need to erase this week and start […]
Just a side note, I’m not sure how this is FIVE layers…I counted three. Maybe four, if cheese is a layer. Anyhow… I wanted to make something snack-y, because the biggest snack day all year is coming up – SUPER BOWL! Did you know the Super Bowl is the highest chip consumption day of the […]
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 […]
*Updated! Check the end of the comments for the winner. Thanks to all who participated! If you’ve been on the Weight Watchers forums, or read Hungry Girl, you’ve more than likely run across a lot of talk about VitaTops. Personally, I’d heard a lot but had never tried Vita Tops or any of the Vitalicious. […]
It’s here! It’s here! (And yes, I’ve heard you all calling it “Homework” behind my back! ) OK, fine, I guess it is. But I really want us to think of this as yet another tool to arm ourselves in our constant battle with “Can I?” Because yes we can! I love punctuation because it […]
We’re having some fun on this sort of potpourri Thursday Three . (Look at that, I rhymed!) Today I give you three fun facts/slash/embarrassing moments. 1. I would like to state for the record that for week one of our Rethink Your Shrink challenge, we as a group lost about 75 pounds! Wait. I’m going […]
Welcome to the first Monday Project of the Rethink Your Shrink challenge: Project “Me”! This week, we’re going to take a look back and ask ourselves some questions, about ourselves. On account of the whole rethinking our shrinking and all. We’re going to dive right on in and figure out why we’re here right now […]
I would be willing to bet that if I sat down to dinner with almost any one of you, I’d be finished with my plate before you had a chance to cut your meat. I am a speed eater. I literally inhale my food. By the time I realize that I’ve almost cleaned my plate, […]
