I did very well, yesterday even being surrounded by yummy candy.  I had already had a motivational speech with myself earlier this week that all of the hard work that I have put into getting healthier over the last year and a half wasn’t worth me throwing that away by binging on candy.  I have noticed [...]

I tried to hold out for as long as I possibly could before buying Halloween candy for trick or treaters.  I did not want to hassle with going to the store tomorrow, so I went and purchased a  butt load of candy today.  I know some people advise buying funky candy that you aren’t tempted by, but [...]

I had no choice, but to go to Krispy Kreme, today to pick up doughnuts for a class party.  My daughters were with me and asked if we could get a doughnut.  I dread sticky doughnut eating in the car, so we went in so that I could choose Halloween themed doughnuts for the party.  [...]

I am happy to report that I lost 2.4 pounds, this week.  I have broken out of my weigh in ritual a second week in a row and it feels good not to stress the way that I have in the past over weigh ins.  I wore jeans again, I ate a small banana, yogurt, [...]

I had my weigh in at Weight Watchers, this morning.   I am accustomed to tradition and my tradition has always been not to eat a bite or a drink of water before weigh in.  I wish I was allowed to weigh in at the meetings the way that I do at home, but  nudity in [...]

Saturday morning, I hit the local farmer’s market and an hour long spinning class.  Working out in the morning really seems to get me in the right mindset for eating throughout the day.  That night we chose to eat out and I am much happier with my selection.  After Wednesdays episode at Cracker Barrel there [...]

As much as it pains me to admit to this, I have gained more weight than I thought over the past few months.  It has not been due to a lack of exercise, it is due to some emotional eating.  Every time I think I have the emotional side of dining under control, something happens [...]

If you like veggies, then you will want to give this a try.  If you do not like veggies, then I would not recommend it.  This drink is so refreshing and delicious; I crave it on a daily basis.  It is healthy and it’s only 1 point for half if you are following the Weight [...]

I decided to attend Saturday Weight Watcher’s meetings instead of during the week.  I was very happy with my weigh in. I weighed in at 177.8.  I haven’t weighed less than 178 since high school.  I was much thinner at 178 10 years ago.  I was an obsessed mountain biker who biked about 4 times [...]
