Yes! I think I’m getting back on track. I weighed in this morning at 140! Yay! I still have a little tiny bit more to go, but I’m happy. I feel “lighter” physically and emotionally! I was a little discouraged, but determined yesterday! After I made my public confession both on MyFitnessPal and here on [...]

Confessions of a Compulsive Eater – 141.8
Okay, confession time. This summer was brutal. While on our vacations, I ate a lot lot lot of sugary foods, & it seems like it made my “compulsive” eating issues come alive a little bit. It was getting harder and harder to say “no” to foods that I shouldn’t be eating. This weekend, I didn’t [...]
Dastardly Donut
Ugh, the dastardly donut got me today at lunch. I was visiting DH and we ate lunch together in his work lunchroom, and there was a box of Dunkin Donuts that another co-worker brought in that morning. Of course, DH had to open it, and there were just a few left, all jelly filled. I [...]
Pretzels
This is why I don’t buy pretzels and other non nutritious snacks. I can’t stop eating them! We’ve been on vacation this week, and we stopped for a snack after ATVing and against my better judgement, I was coerced into buying a 1 lb bag of pretzel sticks. Let me tell you these things are [...]

See You Next Year
It’s New Year’s Eve! We’re going to splurge. Our last dinner of 2010 is going to be Italian, I’m thinking I’ll pick up take out from the Macaroni Grill. Something extravagant and yummy! So, what about New Year resolutions? I don’t recommend general “weight loss” resolutions. Why? Because weight loss starting in the winter, right [...]
One Day Cooking For Meals All Week
My days are getting longer at work, and then with afternoon errands, it’s been so stressful worrying about finding time for healthy weekday cooking. So, I took a tip from Rachael Ray’s new show, Week in a Day and decided that I would try cooking a bunch recipes on the weekend, making it easier to [...]
Goals…Yes, I Need More Goals!
I read a inspiring topic over on myfitnesspal this morning http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/130945-women-ages-50-for-november Goals are great, but sometimes we reach too high, and our targets fall short. I don’t want to set my expectations too high that failure will be imminent. But I do realize now that I need to set some goals for myself to keep [...]
Fears
Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears. Rudyard Kipling, British writer, 20th century So true!
