Seems I’m always seeking the next best snack to help maintain my weight. When fruit or veggies sound too healthy for my snack cravings (increasingly so in recent weeks), my current “go to” snack is Orville Redenbacher’s 100-Calorie Smart Pop! Kettle Korn bags. (From time to time I find them at Walmart for as low [...]

Whether planning to eat alone or socialize, buying a veggie tray with dip seems to be my current habit. In the past five weeks I have bought 6 veggie trays from Costco. When alone I run through a tray of 20 four-ounce veggie servings in a week. The ready-to-eat trays are a low-effort (however higher-priced) [...]

Sun., March 22, 2009 05:22:49 GMT If doctors can “practice” medicine their entire career, and lawyers can “practice” law, after all those extra years of education on those topics, then we certainly shouldn’t feel bad about having to continue to practice to learn and improve our healthy eating – or fitness – habits. Weight loss [...]

Thurs., March 12, 2009 20:24:43 GMT Someday I hope that weight maintenance becomes much easier. I’m still not there yet. Loving the way I now look, does help, some. Truly wanting to be fit for life, is key. But still… When I go to my sister’s, I sometimes end up eating a huge bag of [...]

Wed., Jan. 7, 2009 20:28:13 GMT Digging through boxes of old family photos, I found an expired license from the late 1980s. I was jazzed to see that my weight today, 127 (after losing 40 pounds), is one pound more than it was 20 years ago. Awesome! Then I thought, “Was I really that weight, [...]
Food Scales and Learning Portion Sizes Helped Me Lose

Wed. Jan. 7, 2009 19:46:45 GMT Learning about portion sizes was a huge eye opener to me, when I started losing my extra 40 pounds in 2007. When I finally purchased food (and postage) scales at Costco (available daily for less than $20 in the office supplies aisle), I truly began understanding how ignorant I [...]
Making Breakfast Energy Last

Tues., Dec. 23 Dec 2008 21:38:20 GMT This month I finally got my breakfast right. I’ve found one that actually lasts, keeps me full, and provides the right amount of energy. I used to eat hot cereal or eggs. Today, I eat hot cereal and eggs, and I no longer get as distracted by the [...]
Skinny Gals in the Gym

You see, today, I’m one of those skinny gals at the gym. But last year, I wasn’t. It bothers me that the person next to me doesn’t know my history, so may not be motivated, and may even be discouraged, working out next to me.

Tuesday, December 02, 2008 20:17:21 GMT Kids learn from their parents, throughout their lives. Kids of all ages observe. Many of us live our lives echoing the actions of our parents, as well as making sure we don’t make the same mistakes our parents did. It was all Mom’s fault, that I became so dedicated [...]
101: My Dieting Foods Include Pumpkin

Friday, October 31, 2008 02:56:32 GMT At the local Grocery Outlet, I recently found pure pumpkin back in stock, at about 70 cents a 15-ounce can. (That is a great price… for great pumpkin.) Pumpkin is considered a Super Nutrient, and I ate a lot of it when I was losing my first 20 pounds. [...]
