Stepping Up My Game
Well, I’m still working on regaining control after last week’s debacle (seven straight days on a food bender). I weighed myself this morning and discovered I’m up a good two pounds as a result of last week’s disaster (It’s got to be at least partially extra water weight, right? Could I have really consumed an [...]
Week 4 Results
Week Four Results: I’m not telling Yes, yes – that is totally unfair and crappy of me – but I’m doing it anyway. I cannot bear to publish the failure that was Week 4. Instead, I’m going to pretend like Week 4 never happened and continue on from there. (Sometimes you need to play these [...]
Hidden Calories
I cannot start my day without a cup of coffee. It makes me a nicer person. So, every morning I brew up a big pot and dump in some Splenda and a heaping helping of French Vanilla creamer. Figured I was doing ok, after all, black coffee is zero calories and so is Splenda. The [...]
Finding your “Sack”
After last weekend’s ridiculously horrible binge, I was devastated that I had once again “failed” at my diet. I then spent the entire night moping around the house, beating myself up for being such a bad person, and naturally, eating more junk to reinforce my feelings of failure and loss-of-control. Still in a state of [...]
Self Sabotage
I am so ashamed of myself. Here I was, just two days ago, going on and on about how good I’ve been and how I’ve resisted temptation, blah, blah, blah – and then I go and blow it. It all started Friday night at a friend’s dinner party. I innocently ate a coconut cookie thinking [...]
Togetherness…
Don’t get me wrong, I love my boyfriend dearly, but there are times when he really drives me crazy. For example, weight loss. During the first year or so of our relationship, we both managed to put on about 20 lbs. each. Of course, he was skinny to begin with, so the weight gain wasn’t [...]

Still pluggin along…
Yes, it’s been a while since I last wrote. Sorry ‘bout that. I had a few life mishaps this past week which prevented me from writing. All is well now – hopefully. I must admit, though, that I am rather proud of myself. Despite all the turmoil going on in my life recently (an illness, [...]

Day 9: Troubleshooting Your Diet and Workout
My older sister started a diet and exercise program a few weeks before I started mine. In total, she’s been at it for about a month now, and hasn’t lost a single pound. The other day, she asked me for some advice (if anyone out there has some advice, it would be much appreciated too!) [...]
