This past week I experienced something that I have not done in a long time; I got to go shopping for new clothes that were a size smaller. When I started on this journey a couple of months ago, I wore a size 24 in pants. Now that I have lost 16 pounds, my pants […]

After a rough couple of weeks, I’m finally getting back on track. I’m down two pounds this week! As I begin to ease back into the swing of things, continuing where I left off before all of my life drama happened is becoming easier. I didn’t make it to the gym this week, but I […]

I believe that if something isn’t working, you should change it. Weight Watchers worked great for me when I started it in March of this year. I lost 13 pounds in the first two months. However, since that time, I have fluctuated between 185.4 and 190 pounds as my dedication has waxed and waned. I […]

It’s a glorious Labor Day evening here in North Hollywood, California. The heat of the day is easing off and the sun is a beautiful golden glow in the western sky lighting the fluffy white clouds pink, peach and gold in the fading turquoise. I have decided to sit outside and bask in all this, […]

This week was another one of ‘those weeks’ where I was challenged with a division of my time and energy. My husband was put on call at the very last minute and there has been one problem after another since last Tuesday. I have been staying up way later than I should waiting on him […]

Weekly Weight-loss update:  -1 lb Inches lost: Chest: 0; waist: 0; arms: 0; hips: 0; thighs: 0 (OK, what’s up with this?) This week’s challenge: Sugar and salty foods. A few cookies here, a handful of peanuts there; can’t forget the three fists-full of BBQ potato chips. The philosophy behind this Ideal Protein program is […]

I lost 10 pounds! Let me type that again, I lost 10 pounds! After what has seemed a lot longer than 5 weeks, I met my goal and lost the first 10 pounds and half way to my goal weight. Just typing that feels unreal but looking at my body, especially my face and my […]

I’m a miserable mess right now on a seemingly continuous downward spiral. My period is due soon, so I’m semi-sure my emotional ineptitude is partly due to that horror and why I’ve been such a diva (when really, that’s not a part of my personality — I’m typically easy going!) I haven’t gained (thank goodness) […]

Ok. it’s been over a month and I am definitely feeling the effects of the Paleo lifestyle. I don`t want to say diet anymore because it denotes something that is temporary, a quick fix to loose weight. This is however a change in the way I`m living and giving my body the food that it […]

I’m just going to spill the beans at the start: I was really bad this week. I turned 30 a few days ago, and it was incredible! I spent the last few days before my big day having cocktail celebrations with my good friends, surprise dinners at awesome restaurants all around town and blew out […]
