Have you ever stopped dieting?

Have you ever stopped dieting?

I don’t know that I have. It’s been that mindset for a very very long time. Guys, I don’t really know what the hell I’m doing, but I do know one thing – I’m over “dieting.” So, in the words of Usher, these are my confessions…   “Oh girl, it’s a lifestyle change. That’s your … Continue reading

Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

SAY WHAAAA? Shut the front door. Good God Amighty! With Kevin out of town this week I’ve been playing in the kitchen a lot. I was looking through the fridge and found a myriad of leftovers and created this beauty: Y’all – it just wasn’t fair it was so good. Here’s the line up: Real … Continue reading

It could have been 600lbs

It could have been 600lbs

Every once in a while I will sit down in front of the TV and gorge myself on documentaries. The other day I watched My 600lb Life on TLC.  I watched the end of Donald’s story, Ashley’s story and Melissa’s story. Melissa’s story really touched something in me: a young married woman wanting children and a new … Continue reading

The Double Chin

The Double Chin

I can remember when the first thing I would do in my pictures is notice my double chin. And I can remember thinking that was the one thing I’d like to change. (I was fine with the big hips. I was fine with the tummy. But dammit – that chin was just over the top. … Continue reading

Portion Control

Portion Control

As I’m sure you know by now, the thing I struggle with most is moderation – which plays HEAVILY into portion control. Quite often, my food storage/packing/portions look like this:             You know, a little muffin toppy. Cram it all in. Push and pack it down. Takes more time than … Continue reading

Moderation…or lack thereof.

Moderation…or lack thereof.

Moderation. I’m not a fan. I should be, but I’m not. One ounce of cheese? Why not 12? One triathlon? Why not 5? ALL. OR. NOTHING. I’ve been thinking a lot about this since a conversation I had last Thursday. Formulating my thoughts and figuring out how to word this post. I am a very … Continue reading

This is my excited face…

I’m trying so desperately to get back into the groove of running. So far – running 1 me 0. I ran once this week. Which is more than last week. I’m hoping that with the temps cooling down I’ll be more inclined to actually go for a run. I’m going to be screwed in November … Continue reading
