Well, hello!  I just figured out something that I really like, that I didn’t think I’d bother with, on the Wii Fit.  As I mentioned in a previous post providing my review of the Wii Fit, I mentioned that although you could create a custom routine, you were limited to only activities in the Strength [...]

Today is Monday, and that meant weigh-in.  The scale showed me 191 this morning, and I was very happy about that.  The eleven pound swing from last weekend had me in tears and depressed for a few days, but fortunately it seemed to be the combination of time of the month and inconsistent sleep just [...]

I went out of town over the weekend, taking four days to drive to Kentucky (from our home in Wisconsin) and to attend a wedding.  Last week I had posted about my fears concerning road snacks.

I haven’t posted any pictures of myself lately, so I am going to include one from this weekend. 
Over the weekend I enjoyed lots of leisure activities and time with friends and family.  There were a few things that happened (or that were said) that are worthy of sharing…
While having lunch with a friend and [...]

This morning was weigh-in and I was happy with the results — 192.  That means two pounds lost since last Monday.  I need more weeks like that!
I was pondering something yesterday, as I diligently entered every measly calorie I consumed… will I always have to do that?  Will I always have to take the time [...]
