I have been focusing so much on my food intake that this week I thought it would be a good idea to concentrate on something different. In the past, through Weight Watchers, I tracked my activity points on my tracker. The points I earned were figured out by looking at my current weight, how long […]

My third week started off great, got a little bumpy in the middle and ended on a high note. In the beginning of the week, I helped to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, which wasn’t that great diet wise, but so much fun and was a special occasion so I didn’t feel too guilty about […]

Weight Watchers is a fantastic plan for those of us who value our favorite unhealthy foods greatly and do not want to give them up entirely. While I have a strong desire to eat perfectly (e.g. eating primarily vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats in small quantities and at set times in the day […]

She first showed up in 1996 and would hang around for a bit but would always return unexpectedly, here and there. Over the years she would make more and more appearances, till April 2007 she became my constant companion. It was like I had no choice in the matter. SHE decided she was going to […]

Although my first two weeks got off to really good start, I have had a load of obstacles this week. My number one obstacle was fatigue — this horrible feeling is coming in after some major sleep deprivation. My husband works a job that requires the alarm clock going off at 6 a.m. on the […]

This week is all about easing into a routine that I feel will work for me. From my past trial and errors, I’ve put together the three activities that I actually enjoy and love: dancing, swimming, and jogging. For the past few months, I have tried to be active for at least three days a […]

There were sharp pebbles rolling around in my shoes, blisters bubbling on both my heels, and rivers of sweat trickling down my neck. My mouth was dry and my water bottle was empty as the sun continued to sizzle my skin…  BUT I DID NOT GIVE UP. You’d think I was writing my memoir on […]

Well, as each day/week goes by, I am becoming more and more well-versed in the Paleo diet. Avoiding — no, eliminating — grains, rice, potatoes, beans, corn, legumes and processed foods of any kind really does take away a lot of choices that you were used to having when it was time to eat. Again, to […]
