Cheesecake

Oh Lord! They have the most wonderful cheesecake on QVC right now! Oh crap, it looks soo soooo good. Oh Lord, it’s times like these that I would love to just throw it all away and just EAT EAT EAT all I want whenever I want!
But nothing tastes as good as fit feels, right!? [...]

Good Health Natural Naked Popcorn

I love popcorn, but don’t snack on it very often anymore because of the extra carbs.
But I still regularly look at popcorn bags at the grocery store trying to find a low calorie snack. Most times, the calories are just too high. I mean 6-8 servings per bag!? I am afraid that we’d be [...]

Listen To Your Own Voice

From the book The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle:
“We’re told what’s acceptable and what’s not by others. But listen to your own voice. Figure out what works for you.”
By Jen Eisenbarth (Biggest Loser Season 3)
I found the book at the library, and started to read it last [...]

163.6 – Back Down a Little!

Phew, I know I wasn’t supposed to weigh myself, but I admit it. I am obsessed. Okay, now that’s out of the way.
I woke up yesterday AM and I felt really good. I felt invigorated with a little bit of muscle soreness from the night before. I felt thinner! But I weighed myself and [...]

Cooking Light Way to Cook Book Review

I found the Cooking Light Way to Cook: The Complete Visual Guide to Everyday Cooking at my local library. What a gorgeous book, loaded with incredible color photos just like in the Cooking Light magazine. While the book isn’t large sized (it is thick but not large) the step by step photos are not small. [...]

165.4 – Still gaining

Well, I am hoping that it has to do with my “time of the month” coming up soon. I can’t imagine that it’s actually “real” weight, but hey, a lot of this journey hasn’t made a lot of sense to me. Whenever I weighed myself and lost, it’s felt a miracle. Maybe my body is [...]

Working Out Feels So Good

I worked out on the Wii Fit tonight, doing mostly strength and yoga. It’s funny how quickly the stiffness returns when you slack off for a short while. Tonight I feel so much more flexible and my range of motion has increased. Feels awesome!

164.6 lbs – Gained

Yeah, okay, it’s reality! A wake up call!
I was sick with a cold, so my fitness workouts went out the door and I was not always making the greatest food choices.
I “feel” heavier and the scale doesn’t lie. For about a day, I was as low as 162, and now I am back [...]

Is Eating Healthy More Expensive?

I just calculated my spending amounts for food, comparing the total for dining out and groceries from month’s past to what I am spending now eating healthier. Surprisingly, the totals were fairly equal.
On average, I would spend about $700 to $800 per month for both groceries and dining out. It’s still the same now, but [...]

Trouble Trouble Trouble

This wasn’t one of my better weeks. No, it wasn’t horrible, but I feel like my choices haven’t been the best.
First, getting a cold set me back on my workouts. And since I was feeling crappy from Friday to Wednesday, we had a couple take out meals.
The other day, we had Chinese, and while [...]
