Lets see, if I do the math correctly (yes i’m counting on my hand…sheesh)today is the 6th day of my new weight loss journey. 6 days already? really? wow. Most importantly, I still feel really good about it.

If you are planning on traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday, chances are you will be skimping on the exercise. I know that I rarely get my workouts in when I am out of town. There are plenty of ways to get some exercise done while being away from the gym and without lugging a bunch […]

The day is here, Thanksgiving, the day where families sit around and eat. Then a few hours later after our naps we go and eat again. Well I just want to remind everyone that you hold the power. The power of self control.
Before you set out for the day make a plan. Plan your attack […]

I know, I know… I am a little late with the introduction post. My husband and I took a quick (kid-less!) trip to San Diego. It was a blast, but now it’s back to work. Time to focus.
I have been struggling with my weight for years. Like so many other women, I used my pregnancies […]

Twas the night before the diet, when all through the house not a person was cooking, not even ordering out… The lunches were packed sitting in the fridge with care
In hopes that shrinking jeans would soon be near.
Crooked Eyebrow was nestled with her laptop on the couch with care
While visions of ice cream and brownies danced in […]

I just got back from BJ’s school where they had a Thanksgiving day feast. Oh, it was a feast all right. A veritable feast of calories, and fat, and sugar, and nothing that even resembled healthy. Oy. So I took my own advice and had a small serving of only the dishes I really wanted. […]

When people hope to lose weight, there is usually a big motivator right? A wedding, to lose baby weight or even a vacation. I have had every single one of those reasons, but yet it for some reason or another I never made it work for me. Now??? I want to change that. I need […]

It’s been 24 hours since I started to monitor what I eat and how I eat. You know what the hardest part for me was today? The office at work. Yes, that room where everyone brings donuts and cookies each Monday. Those evil so and so’s. Don’t they know I’m trying to be good here? […]
