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 [...]

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 [...]

Sat., Jan. 10, 2009 01:11:08 GMT Yesterday I finally put on the sports heart rate monitor (HRM) I bought at a one-time deep discount at Costco last summer, right before Mom’s health took the final downward turn. (Ironically, Mom’s failing heart and ultimate death distracted me from my own HRM.) I haven’t slept in the [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Thursday, October 30, 2008 21:16:20 GMT Yesterday I stocked up on 3-ounce, single-serving packages of tuna in water at Big Lots: 50 cents each! (Sale price through November 1, with expiration dates ranging from 2010 to 2011.) That’s nearly an unheard of price for the convenient 90-calorie pouches. So, I bought some for me, and [...]

Friday, October 24, 2008 21:15:58 GMT Have you been aware of Vanity Sizing adjustments of women’s clothing through the years? How does it make you feel? While recently losing 40 pounds I became tremendously aware of the situation. Sure, I now fit into a size 2, 4, 6 or 8, depending on the manufacturer. But, [...]
