Who doesn’t love the idea of making themselves over? That’s one of the reasons we are on this weight loss journey, isn’t it? To make ourselves look and feel better? And I know that it’s the reason I spend so much money (and time!) on clothes, makeup, and hair products. I want to look my [...]

What a Monday! The first day back after a super short week is never easy, and today was no exception. I’m so glad that the day is done and that I’m home. Ahhhh. To check in on my workout plan, I got home too late to take the dog for a walk and make it [...]

The detox that I was doing yesterday? Ya, it was sort of a bust. I started off well, alternating between the holiday juice and the lemon water. And then around 1pm I went to my sister’s house for something and she was heating up some food, and it smelled amazing, and my stomach started growling, [...]

This is the salad that I made for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was a huge hit, and a salad that I will make again and again throughout the fall season next year. My sister originally told me about this salad (she’d had it at a work potluck and loved it), but I changed it [...]

I’ve alluded to the fact that I have decided to up my game plan in order to reach my pre-op goal by mid-December. What better way to really finish out my goal than to put in an extended effort? This plan will be in place for today, Black Friday, through the middle of December, or [...]

As I stop and think for a moment this morning (now afternoon), I realize that there are so many things that I am thankful for, and I thought it would be nice to share a few of them with you. I am thankful for my family, above all. This has been a trying year for [...]

I have been having so much fun putting outfits together lately! I know that it’s a combination of liking my fall/winter wardrobe more than my summer one and liking the way the clothes are fitting me. I used to search for baggy tops to wear, but now I’m seeing that when the clothes are bit [...]

I just found out about this great new site called Rock My Run that has tons of music mixes and mashups all available to download free. They’re in “beta” right now, so that free part may change. I just downloaded a bunch of new mixes, and I can’t wait to try them out. The cool [...]
