I should not have made the statement and then written it in my blog that I was going to try not to have any sweets all week.  I ate three iced gingerbread cookies from Trader Joe’s.  They were only 120 calories for all three, but they are still considered sweets.  The shame, oh, the shame.  [...]

I took a day off from working out and it felt really good.  My body was just feeling really tired and my hips were  sore.  I spent the day with my family searching for a Christmas tree.  We made it out to a tree farm, which was fun.  I have never been to one before. [...]

We were invited to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving.  It was really nice. We had so much fun and the food was fantastic.  We dined on homemade Mexican fare and some yummy reduced fat cheesecake, reduced fat pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.  Being with fun people and good friends reminded me that the holidays are [...]

This is the time of year that people are reminded to be thankful.  I think most of us are always thankful, but we just don’t verbally express it as often as we do in November and December.  I want to thank some people right now.  I want to thank each of you that take the [...]

There was no zumba class on the schedule, today, but I noticed the gym was offering a Turkey Burn cardio sculpt class.  Woohoo, I thought.  I had already run two miles on the treadmill and had begun to do my strength training.  The class was an hour and a half.  I thought this would be [...]

Confessions Of A Chocoholic should be the name of a movie or an HBO series.  I”m sure it would be amusing, but also sad and a bit disgusting at times.  I can see a dude wearing a cologne named Chocolate.  He walks by an Over-eaters Anonymous meeting while the members get a whiff of the cologne.  The women [...]

I have about fifteen episodes of “Dr. Oz” recorded and finally got around to watching one of them, today.  That show is very informative and sometimes gross.  I like that combination.  The grotesque medical visuals are what really gets the doctor’s point across.  When you see  a heart that has plaque build up in the carotid [...]

With less than a week until Thanksgiving, I have come up with a plan.  We have no family coming to town for the holiday and we are staying home.  My husband and I do not feel like busting our asses in the kitchen all day in order to sit down hours later to stuff our faces.  [...]

I seriously need to get the lead out of my ass and get moving again.  I have continued to drag my ass all week.  I did manage to work my upper body with weights and resistance bands today.  I may really reach my goal weight within the next ten years if I continue on like this. Trying to [...]

I’m sure you have all been sitting on the edge of your seats wondering what my weight is, but I didn’t make it to WW, today.  If you don’t know me, I am being sarcastic.  I suffer severe neurosis, but not to that extent. My daughter is still home sick and I had a Thanksgiving [...]
