Tonight’s recipe came straight from WW.com, although I made a few minor modifications so that it would be more to my taste. If you want to, you can check out the original recipe. I thought it sounded good because of the unusual (to me) combination of flavors. Plus, the weather is still cold, and I [...]

As you guys know, I’ve been really struggling for quite some time with not really losing weight. One week I’m up 2 lbs, the next week I lose 2, then I gain 0.5, then I lose 1.3 and so on. The net result is that in the last year and a half, I’ve actually gained [...]

The Sisterhood has a new challenge running from Wednesday, February 24th until Wednesday, April 21st. It sounds fun, and it might be just what I need to get myself going. They have an option to join a team, but I’m going to do this one by myself (with you guys along for the ride). Here’s [...]

Even though I’ve never considered myself a morning person, I seem to be waking up earlier and earlier, especially on the weekends. Last night I went to bed early (around 9pm), so I was up and at ‘em by 5:30 this morning – well before sunrise. It put me in a great mood to get [...]
RLR +Fitness Friday – Up from here
Posted in weight loss, tagged Rubenesque Ladies Running on February 25, 2010 | 9 Comments »
I’ve said many times before that I always want to be honest on this blog. To that end, here goes. This week, I only worked out once. I did the Wii Fitplus on Wednesday for 45 minutes. But other than that, I’ve done nothing. Nada, zip, zilch. I’m not sure exactly what the problem is [...]

Bella Cooks: WW Mag’s Stuffed Bell Peppers

One of the reasons I love my subscription to WW Magazine is that it is filled with pages of recipes, organized by difficulty level. Plus, they offer a variety of tastes and cultures in their recipes, and they keep them in-season, which is also nice. I have never made stuffed bell peppers, and had always [...]
Weigh-In Wednesday – No Scale Pic Pass
Posted in weigh in day, weight loss, tagged Weight Watchers on February 24, 2010 | 7 Comments »
Today’s the day that I usually tell you about my adventures on the scale. I got up and weighed myself this morning, and I am definitely moving in the wrong direction. So much so that I am not going to post a picture on the blog today. I’m not recording this week’s weight on this [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It’s only Tuesday, and I already feel like I’m behind. I guess that’s what happens when you go back to a really busy workweek after a week off. Yesterday flew by, and I had a lot going on, but today after work things should be a bit calmer, so I’m hoping to [...]

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” — Charles W. Eliot I chose this quote this week because I’m looking forward to our Bloggy Beck Book Club on Thursday. I hope that many of you will be able [...]
