2008-01-26 23:04:00 Most of you know I’m a maintainer and (not to pat myself on the back or anything) I’ve kept the weight off for almost 2 years. In the past 6 months I’ve been giving myself a little more freedom in the diet department, testing my maintenance ability and learning that you can really live, eat and be merry IF you pay attention to your body and make good choices.

My New Buddy
2008-01-24 05:29:00 The other day I hit Bed Bath & Beyond. Man I love that store! They were having a big sale and as soon as I walked in I was immediately attracted to a large bin with these water cooler looking water bottles in it. They were huge! (74oz) With a great handle and a large sports bottle top. I bought 2 they were just so COOL! Now I have them in rotation. One’s in freezer filled half with water More About: Buddy
Fat is NOT a Dirty Word but Maybe it’s the Wrong One
2008-01-23 04:33:00 A few people sent me a link from the NY Times entitled In the Fatosphere, Big Is In, or at Least Accepted and wanted to know what I thought. Why my opinion? I don’t know, but, OK, I’m always up for sharing my 2¢ :~) The article showcases fat acceptance blogs like Shapely Prose and The-F-Word .

A Must Read For All Those Watchen’ their Weight!
2008-01-22 03:31:00 “Once I started, I figured I’d blown it anyway, so I might as well have everything I like” How many times have you said that? Be honest, come on. I’ll help you get started. I just did it…. Sunday! Yup, Sunday. I went out the night before, drank a bit, overindulged, nothing major but way more then I normally consume.

Sexy in 6
2008-01-19 23:05:00 It’s been a long time since I posted a book review so when Lindsey from Da Capo Lifelong Books asked me to take a look at Sexy in 6, I agreed. To be honest, I never except much from fitness books. Call me strange I don’t find much enjoyment reading about how to do exercises, I’d much rather read about diet/food or new recipes. It’s just where my interests are. Anyway, I received the book
10 Stay Active Tips!
2008-01-18 05:46:00 It snowed today! For as much as I complain about the winter there is just something fun about snow.

I’m a Failure :~(
2008-01-17 05:03:00 It’s true… a failure, a loser, a big fat loser. But… in a GOOD way! I mean, you have to TRY to FAIL and trying is half the battle. Right? I stared at that crazy inclined rock wall for about 10 minutes before I got up the nerve. I thought it was time. I’ve been practicing for weeks, I’ve been circuit training, working hard but apparently, it wasn’t enough. Not yet anyway. Don’t worry, I’ More About: Failure

Feeling Better & Catching Up
2008-01-15 06:02:00 It’s official, diet and exercise makes a HUGE difference in my mood. Today I feel GREAT! I started my morning with a fun fruit salad and a trip to the gym, and honestly, that’s all it took to snap me out of it. Even though the scale is up, I’m not letting the number get to me as I know it will drop tomorrow after the enormous amounts of water I drank today. We all know I didn’t gain 4 More About: Feeling
Somber Sunday
2008-01-14 04:54:00 I really wish I could report another Sensational Sunday but I’ve been really down in the dumps all day. I tried so hard to get motivated. I blasted happy music, I cooked with the toddler even experimented in the kitchen (I almost nailed the homemade whole wheat pizza dough) but I couldn’t fight off the blues. Needles to say with my unhappy demeanor came some overeating. Or was it the

2008-01-12 00:28:00 I can’t just come out an tell you can I? I need to make it at least a little dramatic. I wasn’t lying when I told you the toddler would pick the winner. Here’s how it worked… I assigned each entry a number. The husband wrote all the numbers out and the toddler plucked one out of a bowl. Of course I had to snap a few pictures! So, can you see it?

2008-01-09 05:49:00 ...AWESOME! The class was great, the instructor was great and the other 4 couples were great! And thank god they were, they make you swap partners!

2008-01-08 05:45:00 I hope you don’t mind but I’m bringing back the food finds. At first I thought I would post all food related stuff on my new food blog GreenLiteBites but that really has become more of a recipe blog then a product blog and I like it that way.

Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa
2008-01-08 02:38:00 I saw Swiss Miss Diet while shopping last weekend and after seeing it was only 25 calories a servings with no fat and 1 g of fiber (0 points!) I thought it was worth a try! To be honest I wasn’t expecting much, nothing with only 25 calories can be that good. This low expectation created a pleasant surprise. I think I may have actually said aloud, “Humpf!
