One of my goals in 2009 is to try at least 1 new recipe a week. I have so many wonderful, healthy, lowfat/low-cal cookbooks, and I haven’t even opened many of them, let alone try out the recipes in them.
So, today I spent a good amount of time perusing a few of my faves, including [...]

I’ve been doing well on my WW program this week. It’s amazing how much easier things are to manage when you feel motivated and organized. It’s simple to stick to the program right now, because I’m on vacation, and have little else to think about. I’m going to make sure to put strategies in [...]

And, technically, I guess I have.
You see, on Christmas Eve I played Wii Boxing over at my parents’ house. Man, what a workout! The game is a great way to get your aggressions out, let me tell you. I was like a maniac, hitting and swinging and punching until my opponents were knocked out! I [...]

Today at my great uncle’s house, I’m going to see quite a few relatives that I haven’t seen in over 2 years. I’m looking forward to catching up with them about what they’ve been up to, but I’m also really curious to see if they’ll notice my weight loss.

I had a great OP day on WW yesterday, and am planning the same [...]

This isn’t a post that’s easy for me to write, but I feel that I have to.
For the past few of months, since before I even stopped the fasting, I’ve been struggling. Struggling to stay on program with eating healthy and working out on a regular basis. I’d have whole weekends where I’d be in [...]

As you may know, if you don’t live under a rock, Oprah has written an article for her January O magazine in which she tells the world that she’s gained 40 pounds, now weighs 200 pounds, and “can’t believe she let herself get like this.”
So many people in the weight loss blogging community and [...]
