Early December, for St. Nick, I bought myself a copy of EA Active More Workouts for the Wii.  It is like an add-on for the original EA Active game, with more sports, stretches, games, etc. to enhance your workout.  I especially liked the obstacle courses and the step routines that this game offers.
Shortly after getting [...]

A couple of things to note since my last posting:  I made the italian sausage I described in my last post.  I even cut out half of the parmesan cheese (sodium) it called for and it was still very tasty.  If you like italian sausage, I’d say it’s worth the effort!
I finally lost another pound, and [...]

I was all excited to share with you a review for something I had on my Christmas list.  In fact, it was what I wanted most.  Of all the luck… I didn’t get it!  I’ll try one more time for my birthday (in April) but after that just buy it myself.  I’m worth it.  [...]

This morning the scale sighed and belched out the number 172.  I know that number reflects about five pounds of  inflated water weight, but it was still depressing to see.  I’m guessing a week from now most if not all of that five pounds will be gone and that only about 10 pounds of actual weight [...]

I had a couple more people subscribe to the blog today.  Welcome!
While I have reached my goal, I hope you find value in the archives of my blog.  I don’t post as much as I used to, and when I do it seems to be with some simple revelation of something, somehow, I knew all [...]

I have really been absent for a while!  The last you heard from me I was complaining about Halloween candy and getting ready to attend a wedding.  Well, the wedding was really nice.  Lucky (or unlucky) for me, Hershey kisses were the party favors.  I love Hershey kisses.  I think my avid readers are well [...]

Well, mostly browns actually.  That chocolate is a killer on my willpower!  I didn’t have much (willpower, that is) and did have much (chocolate, that is) so overall I didn’t fare too well this Halloween.  My kids did though — they had quite a haul of treats.  Yikes.  I’m talking in circles here— kind of [...]

So soon after my last rant about not being able to exercise if my life depended on it, I thought I would offer as a balance to my negativity the fact that I can — I just don’t do it often, ha!
Anyway, this Saturday morning I am going to be “stepping out”, a walk to [...]

Now that we’re in October again, there is definitely a chill in the air.  In fact, when I woke up yesterday morning there was frost on the ground.  I went to my daughter’s soccer game with two layers on bottom, two pair of socks, and four layers on top — a blanket over my lap [...]

I had three objectives for August 3rd:

jog 30 minutes straight on the treadmill
get back to 148 pounds
do 10 pushups

I reached the first goal on June 24th.  Sadly, I never was able to complete the other two.  I weighed as low as 149 since setting the goal for myself.  That weight appeared on the scale a [...]
