So I went on vacation and have been home now for a few days. Since March 26, I have not looked up one item in a calorie book or looked up one thing on a calorie counting website. This, my friends, is a MIRACLE. I can’t remember a time since I was a teenager that [...]

I’m back from vacation! But more about that on Monday… I have a little secret that I can’t keep to myself any longer. I wrote this write before I left but did not publish it because I did not know how things would go on my trip… It is part of my nightly routine to [...]

I’ve been feeling a little bit different lately. Can’t put my finger on it. Could be a “womanly” issue. Or not. I’ve been reading a great book called “Eating in the Light of the Moon” by Anita Johnston that Christie at Honor My Health wrote a bit about on her blog. She went to a [...]

My birthday was yesterday and the weekend included a little bit of a little bit of struggle, but mostly great stuff. The birthday celebration started Friday night when two dear friends took me out to dinner. There is nothing like getting out with a couple of friends and just relaxing while the husband takes care [...]

This post is on WATRD, but I’m running it as a cross-post here as well. Inspired by the post by Kim at Adventures in Wanting last week, I wanted to further explore a topic she proposed that I found very interesting. She essentially asked – knowing what you know now, if you could go back [...]

So this morning I was working out at the gym and it was time for my 40 minutes on the Precor. After I programmed the machine and tuned my mp3 into Regis and Kelly which was on the TV, I realized that the woman next to me was wearing WAY too much perfume and it [...]

So last night went well. I expected a full table of decadent treats at the condolence call but there was much less food than I expected. So that was a good thing – less choices. I felt very calm and relaxed. I was choice-ful prior to going and decided that I would taste/eat things that [...]

So to continue with where I left off yesterday explaining how my therapist helped to give me the grounding that I needed… Again, in no particular order… He said to focus on one event at a time and to not make the assumption that whatever happened last time, will happen again. I need to reign [...]

I had such a great appointment with my therapist yesterday. I had sent him my last couple of blogs so he was prepared for me to come in ready to get down to business. As always, I left his office with not with what I thought I wanted, but instead, with what I needed. First [...]
