This past week has been a flurry of activity for me. Not a day went by when I didn’t have something to do in the evening. I’m a social creature by nature. I enjoy seeing my friends and attending events and everything in between, but when you are trying to lose weight it makes it […]

In the past month my car’s gas tank cracked, which translated to it being donated due to the cost of repair. I lost one of two major clients, and the other one feels like it’s on the verge of leaving, too. I had to borrow money to pay the rent. I got pericoronitis around one […]

Not that I have not taken this weight loss journey seriously, but I feel like that it is much easier to lose weight when you weigh more. At first you lose a ton of water weight and that accounts for the first five pounds or so. Then you probably lose some weight due to toxins […]

As I start to write my blog today Monday the 24th of September I have Dr.Oz on the television. I like Dr. Oz. I find him to be very genuine and informative. Today he is talking about the importance of making sure you have magnesium in your diet and eating three square meals a day. […]

Weekly Update weight-loss:  ? Inches lost:  ? So, what’s up with the question marks? Each week with the Ideal Protein program I weigh-in and meet with a nurse (my day is Thursday).

I landed Sunday for N.Y. and have left for R.I. Some guy was sneezing on the plane two seats over from me and I said to myself” I hope I don’t get this guys cold”. Well Monday morning I got the tickle in my throat and that feeling of  “CRAP I’m getting sick” so I […]

I’ve never had a hard time with water. Lately, though, I feel like I’m drowning in it. I’m really bored with drinking H20 all of the sudden and finding it difficult to get my daily recommendation. Some people hate drinking it, but I’ve actually always preferred it over sugar soft drinks or juices. I’m not […]

Hello again!  Last week I lamented a bit about how these posts tend to blend together and sound like the same broken record over and over and over again. Not today, kids. Today will be a delightful post full of fresh and new things. Okay, maybe not entirely fresh or completely new, but it has […]

BLAAAAHHH!!! This week has been a very difficult week for me. I got very sick over the weekend with a migraine, sore throat, bad stomach issues, and a mild fever. I thought everything was pretty much over on Monday when I went to work, but by the end of the day, I was completely zapped […]
