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 [...]

I’m sitting on my couch right now, finishing breakfast and blogging instead of running (or at least trying to run) a 5K in Baltimore. I’m a little bummed, but with our barely working car, getting to the race just wasn’t an option. We have to have the car to get the husband to work this [...]

I was watching the latest video post from Roni and was pleased to see a question I asked her earlier this year pop up to be answered. Basically, I was feeling frustrated. I was restarting Weight Watchers (again… I think this current start is my fourth or fifth time) and I was really feeling down [...]

Today I finally went back out for a run. I’m embarrassed to admit it’s been a full week since I got a good workout in, and I was really missing it. It was cold and windy today, which made the run feel a lot harder, but I managed a 5K with intervals of 3 minutes [...]

The holidays are coming, and I’ve been struggling. There is no easier way for me to derail this thing completely than to let the holidays sneak up on me. So I’m taking action, getting ready, and doing what I can to make sure the upcoming season doesn’t Blitzen my healthy habits. (See what I did [...]

I’m conducting a little experiment this week. I generally follow Weight Watchers and, obviously, it’s working for me… but this week I’ve just been hungry all the time and with everything I’ve got going between work, toddler chasing, upcoming school, and packing for our vacation… I’ve sort of stopped counting points. I know I’m not [...]
