Much hoopla was made about Oprah and her staff challenging themselves to live vegan for a week. I just watched the show on my DVR and here are some of my thoughts. The show opens with a video of last week’s Harpo staff meeting and the challenge to go vegan for a week – that [...]

Hungry Girl First Show Premieres on the Cooking Channel
So, I watched the first episode of the new TV show, Hungry Girl (with Lisa Lillien) on the Cooking Channel, and I admit, some parts might be helpful to someone trying to lose weight, but most of it was pure Hungry Girl, suggesting unhealthy processed foods, instead of fresh whole ingredients. This first episode was [...]
PediaSure SideKicks – Who Feeds This Stuff to Their Kids?
I saw a TV ad for PediaSure Sidekicks last night. I’m sure it’s been on a million times, but this time I really paid attention. http://pediasure.com/kid-nutrition-products/sidekicks-commercial Two moms were watching their kids play soccer on the field, and one mom says that her son is sluggish and maybe they shouldn’t have stopped off at the [...]
Stupid Domino’s Pizza Commercial
The new Domino’s commercial just infuriates me! They’re trying to jump on the grass fed bandwagon! Their new commercial is trying to give the impression that their cheese comes from happy grazing dairy cows in a pasture! The commercial shows a “panel study” group discussing how they don’t trust the ingredients that Domino’s uses, and [...]
Happy Birthday to Me
Splurged on greasy fatty salty Chinese food tonight for my birthday! Poo poo platter, vegetable fried rice, and a large order of fried Peking ravs! Oh yum. So greasy and soo worth it! Loved it!
Local Bakery Bread – READ LABELS!
I was visiting my mom, and took a glance at the ingredients on the loaf of bread she just purchased from the local bakery. What triggered my curiosity was that their bags were pre-printed, just like the grocery stores’ bread. Lo and behold! Partially hydrogenated soybean oil (worst oil possible!), dextrose (sugar), soy fillers, chemicals. [...]
Potato Chip Tempation
There is an open bag of potato chips staring at me here at the office and I am just saying NO! It would be so easy to just grab a handful. But NO! Just say no! I’m thinking about how strong I am. When I first started on my journey last year, it was a [...]
Time to Do Better
Well, our last summer vacation is over! We had a really great summer, but truthfully, part of me is glad that we’re done with vacations for now. I didn’t revert all the way back to old ways, but with each week on vacation, I got more and more comfortable with eating bad unhealthy foods. Yes, [...]
Back from Week Long Vacation – 148 lbs
Came back yesterday from a week long RV/ATV vacation. It was lovely. Lots of nature! Lots of time to just relax and have fun! Taking my mind off everything at home. I didn’t even bring my laptop with me. I did bring the dSLR camera, but I rarely took any photos. My iPhone camera worked [...]
Hood Calorie Countdown Dairy Beverage
Ha! They can’t even call this product “milk” – it’s a “dairy beverage” – that should tell you right there that there’s a problem. Sort of like American Cheese is not really a cheese, but a “cheese product”. So, I hadn’t even heard of this product, but I just read a post on a forum [...]
