Dancing My Way to Fitness

Oh. My. Lord.
I’ve discovered the perfect workout video for me. And I can do the whole thing without thinking about it . . . that’s a great sign.
Anyway, the video arrived and I couldn’t help but think the woman on the cover looked awfully like an Asian Jane Fonda circa 1985. But, who am I [...]
My 2008 New Years Resolutions
Posted on January 1, 2008 - Filed Under The Book, Thoughts, cookbooks, weightloss | 1 Comment
Happy New Year!
Do you make resolutions? I do. Every year. I don’t necessarily keep them every year though. Wish I could say that I did, but honestly like most people I fall away from the resolutions after a few weeks or months.
But this year is different. My resolutions are grounded in things that I really [...]
Types of protein supplements: a primer
Posted on March 15, 2007 - Filed Under product reviews, weightloss | Leave a Comment
As longtime readers may remember, I have been in a quest to shed excess pounds for quite some time. I managed to lose all the baby weight within a year of birth, but there is some excess weight (and a little back-to-work weight too) that has been plaguing me the last few months.
With a demanding [...]
Healthy New Year’s Day Desserts

I love dessert.
But I am working on the healthier lifestyle thing, so dessert means healthier alternatives. That’s why I turned to Low-Fat Vegetarian Cooking by Jenny Stacy for our New Year’s Day dessert. It’s a handy book with quite a few excellent recipes. I definitely recommend checking it out.
I wanted the desserts to be light [...]
Penance

When I realized I wouldn’t be getting home until late tonight, I decided that takeout was the best route to go. Although I had defrosted meat, I just couldn’t stomach slaving over the stove at 8 p.m. So I conspired with the husband and had him call in a deliciously sinful pizza.
Why sinful? Because I [...]

Obsessed no more.

Once upon a time, I was among the fast food obsessed. I could name the best menu items for at least a half dozen establishments in the fast realm and I could detail the differences between French fries from Burger King and McDonalds, down to subtle tastes.
That’s changed.
I don’t want to be that woman – [...]
Diet dangers

I’ve spoken before here about my successes on the Sparkpeople program, losing weight. In fact, according to my weight this morning, I have now lost 32 pounds with this healthy living program. What I really love about it is how much it’s taught me about eating better.
One of the things that I’ve really learned and [...]
Letting it slip away . . .
Posted on March 5, 2006 - Filed Under weightloss | 2 Comments
I am pretty close to a milestone here.
I gave birth to my son, Will, a little more than 7 months ago. After a turmultous pregnancy where I gained about 68 pounds, I dropped 34 pounds in the first three weeks after birth. Since then it’s been a constant struggle. But onward and upward, right?
Well back [...]
