Ben & Jerry’s Lighten Up!
2008-03-03 04:02:00 I hope this isn’t a “What are you, living under a rock” find but I just (re)discovered that Ben & Jerry’s has a lighter line. The husband wanted to get a treat for himself and good old B&J’s were 2 for $5 so I just HAD to take look. I figured I could get a fun flavor and go home, separate it into 4 portions and have a ready go ‘splurgy’ dessert. I mean a life without Ben & Jerry’s is,
Saturday Link Fest!
2008-03-02 05:25:00 I’m feeling SO better! Not 100% but a lot better. Tomorrow I WILL be going to the gym and getting back into my groove. It will be my first workout WITH the trainer! I can’t wait. Anyway I thought it would be fun to do a bit of a link fest today. I’ve been collecting a few things all week that caught my eye. So here goes! In need of some motivation?

Listening to My Body
2008-02-29 21:58:00 It’s Friday again? I feel like I just posted Totally Random Friday yesterday! That’s how fast my week went and I didn’t even accomplish anything! Argh! I HATE BEING SICK! I went to the doctors yesterday and it appears I have a stomach virus. Although he wants to keep an eye on me because he’s worried it may be something else. So he told me to go on a liquid diet for a day or two and call More About: Body , Listening , My Body
How do you get back to a routine?
2008-02-28 04:16:00 Ok, this weekly question is getting pulled directly from my week. MAN this bug has thrown me for a loop this week! I didn’t feel much like eating during the day but when I did it wasn’t anything healthy. I haven’t been drinking as much water as I should. I just feel BLAH! Now I’m stuck in that limbo between not feeling quite 100% but having to get back to everything I’ve been ignoring for More About: Back
Asian Gourmet Rice Crisps
2008-02-28 03:20:00 I found these a few weeks ago at my local grocery store and I’ve been meaning to post them ever since. They were in the Asian food section by the soy sauce. It was quite a surprise as I’ve been down that aisle many times and I never noticed them before. So I checked out the nutritional information and I was pleased to find that 4 crisps are only 120 calories. I guess I now need to tell you More About: Rice , Crisps , Gourmet
Sick as a Dog and Watching Paula
2008-02-26 04:24:00 Boy does being sick suck! I canceled classes today and actually slept for hours. I needed it but I still feel like crap. Throat, head, chills, fever, you name it. So what do I do bundled on my couch? I watch the Food Network of course! Now I love Paula Dean as much as the next ‘wanna be home cook’ but today I saw her do something, well, insane is the only world I can think it. Imagine this More About: Watching , Sick

2008-02-25 04:21:00 You still need some level of accountability on the weekends. They just can’t be a stream of mindless nibbles. Yes, you are maintaining nicely but if you want to loose those 5 pesky pounds you gained this winter you are going to have to get a bite more serious. That being said, good job on the step class yesterday and the weight training session today. And yes, you did actually bench More About: Note , Note to Self
Totally Random Friday
2008-02-23 06:14:00 I have no brain power tonight so I’m randomly posting things that I’ve been meaning to tell you guys. This weeks been CRAZY. First, on the workout front, I did manage to get in TWO Racquetball games which is a good thing because I didn’t get a chance to go to the gym.

What do you love about your body?
2008-02-21 04:05:00 This week's question was inspired by a meme swizzlepop posted a few weeks ago. It was called The “I LOVE ME” List and I’ve been meaning to post my responses but MAN I just don’t have any time (I’ve also been meaning to post about 3 food finds, respond to the bazillion messages in my inbox and visit my some of my favorite blogs, but I digress).

Who said it would be easy? - A Response
2008-02-20 03:31:00 I received this comment today on my post Dieting Made me Fat - How’d I get Skinny? and thought it warranted a response. Ummm, yeah...those are good suggestions and I'm glad it worked for you. But what about those of us who've already been doing exactly that for years, without losing weight?

Willpower, Motivation or Something Else?
2008-02-19 05:26:00 Before leaving work tonight, the husband called and asked if I’d be willing to pick up McDonald’s on the way home. *Sigh* Not Fast food, anything but that! Especially after my weekend of indiscretions which, unfortunately, included a trip to MickeyD’s. But I said yes, and hit the drive thru on my home. Now, any other day, the smell of the fries would be enough to send me into a mindless More About: Motivation
Dieting Made me Fat - How’d I get Skinny?
2008-02-16 20:08:00 (This was a post I wrote as a guest blogger awhile back, I wanted to share it here) It’s true! Let me explain. When I was a kid, I longed to be thinner. I wasn’t obese. I wasn’t thin. I was a normal, active child that could possible be considered “chubby” in comparison to “skinny” people. I had a father that was preoccupied with the weight of his daughter and it was pointed out to me more More About: Skinny , Made , Dieting
A Valentines Day Plan
2008-02-15 04:56:00 We decided to take the toddler out to Bertucci’s Brick Oven Pizza to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I went in opened eyed and with a plan. You need a plan for a place like that. Well, I NEED a plan for a place like that. The plan was simple, order a soup so I can nibble on the toddler's pizza and share an appetizer with the husband. It worked! I don’t feel like an overstuffed whale right now. More About: Valentines Day , Plan , Valentines
The Hardest Part is Getting Out the Door.
2008-02-14 05:48:00 It’s the middle of the semester and I still haven’t found my groove yet. I feel like my schedule is held together by paper clips and scotch tape. Literally, I’m flying by the seat of my pants. Tonight after dinner (the only time I had to hit the gym) I barely had enough energy to clean up the kitchen let alone go workout. I wanted to go but I didn’t want to leave, if that makes any sense! More About: Part , Door
Do you use Artificial Sweeteners?
2008-02-13 04:13:00 Time for another Question of the Week. For this one, I’m responding to the discussion that got started on 6 On the Go Snacks I Can't Live Without. The comments got me thinking how much artificial sweeteners I use and with the latest news maybe it’s something we should all assess. If I really think about my intake, besides my daily light yogurt I really don’t use much. I don’t drink diet
Note to Self...
2008-02-12 05:01:00 Remember this feeling. I stayed with my food plan and after a long day of work (including a round of racquetball in the morning) I came home hungry. Now any other day when I saw the pizza the husband ordered I would have eaten ALL the leftovers. Tonight, I closed the box, cut up, sautéed some veggies and topped them with some of my leftover sauce. I FEEL GREAT! Better then great, in control. More About: Note , Note to Self
Wonderful Weekend
2008-02-11 05:08:00 It’s been awhile since I posted a Sensational Sunday and even though this weekend wasn’t my best on the food front I still like to recognize good days when I have them. My weekend was jam packed! The husband and I got a movie in Friday night while the toddler hung out with his friends. Saturday started with a step class for me then on to family dancing at a local club. Today was even better More About: Weekend , Wonderful
6 On the Go Snacks I Can't Live Without
2008-02-09 05:23:00 After yesterday's post, I sat down and thought about what my go to snacks are when I’m on the run. These are things I ALWAYS keep in stock to throw in my lunch bag on my way out the door. Yogurt – I eat at least one container of non-fat yogurt a day. I usually by whatever brand is on sale, whether it be Weight Watchers, Dannon, Yoplait or the store brand. I know they are chock full of More About: Snacks , Live

2008-02-08 05:16:00 Pack more healthy snacks for the day. You aren’t eating enough and I think it’s causing you to want to snack excessively after dinner. However, good job keeping it in check and making a healthy snack instead of grabbing a bag of chips or having the husbands chocolate cupcakes. It was WAY more satisfying and much better for you.

Following my Own Advice
2008-02-07 03:39:00 AAACK! I weighed in tonight at a disappointing 145.2 lbs. I know it’s not the end of the world but you all know that feeling when you are trying so hard and the scale just won’t cooperate. So I’m giving myself the same pep talk I give others when they email me with this exact scenario. Keep doing what you are doing and the scale will catch up.

Weight Loss Week 1 Day 7 - The Blow Out
