I’m breaking up with Weight Watchers. I love the program, and it really does work for me, so this is probably a stupid idea… but I just need a break. I’m having an enormous amount of anxiety with the beginning of the summer semester, and I just need a break. The thing is, I’m back [...]

This week has been significantly better than last week. I’m tracking again and although my choices haven’t been ideal, I’m getting back to good. I’ve also done a lot of thinking about the metabolic diet I was considering, and after exhaustive thought and discussion, I’ve decided against it. Why? Two reasons. It would require a [...]

Finding myself with a single refrigerated pie crust and some soon-to-be useless baby bella mushrooms, I came up with tonight’s easy, SUPER YUMMY, reasonably healthy dinner. Not only was it really amazing, but it’s easy to adapt to whatever filling you’ve got on hand. These turned out AWESOME and really filling. I will definitely be [...]

Today I’m concentrating on bouncing back. I started out the weekend in a foul mood, feeling depressed and defeated, but I ended the weekend with a smile. I walked for two hours on Saturday, made good food choices over the weekend, and I’m dressed for spin class today. Too many times I’ve let that sort [...]

Yesterday I ate food. I ate candy. I drank wine. I didn’t count or weigh or measure or tally. I didn’t worry about butter or margarine or anything else. I had three (four?) deviled eggs. I ate tons of roasted asparagus. I had some Easter ham, a few scalloped potatoes, two pieces of key lime [...]

This week has gone pretty well. I had a little fast food episode last night, but overall I’m doing a really good job with food. Exercise has been an issue of its own since I have had negative time to get out and DO anything… but at least I’m eating well. I’m nervous about the [...]

I completed a little over three miles today, and I ran about one mile of it. I was slow, but I was proud of myself for doing it and I was enjoying it! There were a couple of other people on the track with me, and I thought it was funny because every once in [...]

I had a little bit of a stumble today. After two nights of bad sleep, a long (though good) day, and a long commute home, I was more than pleased when the husband suggested Chinese instead of cooking. However, instead of getting something healthy, I chose sweet & sour pork. I ate about a third [...]

I’m discovering this morning just how thoroughly my emotions are linked to my food choices. The depth of this link, as I found this morning, has me seriously considering making a counseling appointment because I don’t know how to break the link on my own. I’ve done great with my food and exercise this [...]

Another successful day! I ate really well, felt satisfied, and got a decent workout in. I also genuinely enjoyed my day, got a chance to relax, and caught up on this season of Top Chef. All in all? Awesomesauce. For breakfast, I had a Luna cookie dough protein bar, yogurt, and two plums. Lunch was [...]
