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 [...]

You know what “they” say about paths that are paved with best laid plans! About two weeks ago I posted my plans for maintenance mode. I’ve failed all of them.
I intended to up my calories by approximately 100 calories, to 1300, and try to stay in that range for three months (and also to try [...]
I was gone for a four-day weekend with the family, a getaway that featured not only eating out three meals a day but which also included trick-or-treating.
All that said, I’m satisfied with today’s weight on the scale. It was 169, two pounds more than last week. I’m not happy about the increase, but I’m chalking [...]

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 forgot to mention, in the excitement over posting about my Mothers Day gift, that in this week’s weigh-in I was at 198. I had gotten as low as 197 this past week, but with eating out two meals on Mothers Day, I went over my calorie goal by 200 and even though I [...]

three mini bite-site Hershey bars
one bite-size 100 Grand bar
one mini package of plain M&M’s
two rolls of Smarties
one Reese’s peanut butter cup
I had [...]
Today is my 16th wedding anniversary. Hubby and I felt like sharing a dish of custard. You know… some lip-smacking!
Not wanting to spoil my good eating habits, I decided I would only splurge if the flavor of the day at Culvers was either Peanut Butter Cup or Raspberry Cordial. [...]
Our house has an infestation of Halloween candy, and it is still weeks from trick-or-treat! This past Friday was homecoming for our high school. Prior to the big game, the community and schools have a nice parade through downtown, around the park, along the lake and over toward the high school. Most [...]
Continue reading about Halloween candy makes it difficult to lose weight
When I’ve attempted weight loss in the past, it has been very easy for me to lose the initial 10-20 pounds. They have just melted off. This time, I’m having difficulty. I’m cheating too much. Two weeks into the diet and I have only lost a net of six pounds. [...]
