See Ya 270s
I’m trying to not completely focus on the my weight loss. I’m expecting my weight will drop to a healthy level as I continue to eat right and exercise. I don’t have an official weight in day (now, I had one three weeks ago). Today seemed like a good day to get on the scale [...]

On a road trip
I am traveling this week. A road trip. There is not an abundance of good food choices at the service stops along the highway. Before leaving I packed a bag with apples and bananas. They were my replacement for Chex Mix, hard candy, trail mix and other (no so good) goodies [...]

The Pyramid
My daughter brought home “MyPyramid” today from school. Her 6th grade health class is learning about healthy eating. “MyPyramid” is government branded educational program (www.mypyramid.gov) to teach children about a proper diet. The irony is that I’m also learning about healthy eating, and it’s contradictory to core principles of the pyramid.
My daughter, [...]

Celebration?!
I was pretty happy about my one month success yesterday. So, I celebrated with a large garden salad with non-fat dressing… NOT. The skeletons came out and I snacked on the ‘food like items’ I’m trying to avoid. Since the WW program provides for this behavior by journaling and counting, there [...]
