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.

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, [...]

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.

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, [...]

Friday, October 24, 2008 20:36:55 GMT Looking back, I am so glad I pushed ahead. I almost committed myself too early to a larger weight, because I really didn’t want to give up my entire wardrobe (so I told myself). Like many gals, I love my clothes, and through the years I invested a great [...]

Thursday, October 23, 2008 21:36:12 GMT We take weight-loss motivation where ever we can get it. I admit: I am addicted to The Biggest Loser TV show. In fact, The Biggest Loser helped me pinpoint many of the “smarter choices” I now incorporate into each meal. It helped me realize I didn’t need to make [...]
