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 [...]
Honesty and Weight

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, [...]
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.
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. [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, Oct 16 2008 17:13:47 GMT Like so many things in life, getting fit (staying fit) isn’t easy. Whenever I find myself starting to whine, complain or (ahem) curse during a workout, I catch myself, stop the negativity, and say out loud, “I love the results.” That has become my reaffirming mantra, “I love the [...]
Weight-Loss Motivation: Family Influencing Family

Friday, August 22, 2008 23:11:34 GMT Part of my motivation to lose 40 pounds this last year was a photo of my two brothers, deliberately posed stomach to stomach, each looking … very pregnant. Forgive my politically incorrect, seemingly insensitive irreverence. Everyone thinks it: I’m just the baby sister deliberately crossing the line and voicing [...]
