What a day! And it’s only 11:24am. I knew this day was going to be interesting when I woke up around 4am and just couldn’t go back to sleep. Since it’s only about an hour and a half before my normal wake up time “should” be, I figured I might as well stay awake. One [...]

Eleven weeks is a long time to follow any sort of diet, especially one as restrictive in calories and food as Medifast. Which means that this week’s results on the scale come as no surprise, for many reasons. Which means I gained 3.8 lbs this week, for a total loss of 22 pounds in 11 [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! You know how they say that no one knows your body better than you do? It’s so true! At least, that’s become the case for me, now that I’ve been dieting for years and know what works for me and my own unique body chemistry. This fact has been proven time and [...]
So cute I can hardly stand it!

What a great weekend! There really is nothing like a family celebration to make a weekend special, is there? Ever since I took on the task of teaching that extra (6th class), life has become really hectic, and it seems like the only thing I do on the weekends is run a bunch of errands [...]

This past week I decided to go strict with Medifast in an effort to get to my mini goal that much more quickly and also so that I could make up for the mishap on the scale last week. Eating only the 5 meal replacements and the Lean & Green meal wasn’t too bad while [...]

Happy Tuesday (evening), Everyone! A quick note before I get to the main topic: I always try to have my posts up in the morning so that more of you get a chance to read them, but I’m sorry to say that for the next 7 weeks or so I’m not going to be able [...]

Today was one of those days when I’m just happy to be alive! I haven’t felt this content and “smiley” in about a month, so it’s a welcome change. Sometimes it’s important to just appreciate the simple pleasures life brings us, which is exactly what this post is all about. One of my recent goals [...]
I know I was at Whole Paycheck, but this is RIDICULOUS!
Posted in Farmer's Market, food, health, healthy choices, weight loss, tagged grocery shopping, Medifast, Whole Foods on April 15, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Since I’ve decided to follow Medifast strictly (no more string cheese, Greek yogurt, or almonds as snacks), I figured that I owed it to myself to make my Lean & Green meals really delicious. And as this idea struck me yesterday, I found myself near Whole Foods. Now I know that Whole Foods is expensive, [...]

Yesterday began as a very difficult day, but after I ‘fessed up, I felt so much lighter. And it must have shown, because I had two separate NSVs. First when I was at my parents’ house dropping something off, my mom said, “you know, Bella, I can really see the weight loss now. To be [...]

If you read yesterday’s post, you know that today’s news from the scale wasn’t going to be pretty. Originally I was going to give myself a pass from the scale. Then I decided (after a great comment from Tina) that I would weigh myself and make a post, but keep it private (only viewable by [...]
