As I prepare for the Thanksgiving feast, I’m left wondering how healthy turkey might be for me. I don’t have it very often, not served this way anyway. (I do substitute ground turkey for ground beef every now and then.)
I’ve read that “white meats” are healthier. Turkey is certainly a whiter meat. According to the [...]
Wow, the time is just flying by! The holidays are fast approaching and the worst possible time for those trying to lose weight! I’m happy to report that there are only about a dozen pieces of Halloween candy left in the house, and what’s left won’t be a temptation for me.
I am, however, on a [...]
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 [...]

A 12qt soup pot that I can [...]
I’ve just resolved not to be perfect over the holidays, and it’s not something I’m going to beat myself up about either! Last week I had already met the five pound December goal I had. (Granted, I put a pound back on since then so I have to commit to losing it again [...]
I attended yet another Christmas gathering yesterday and managed to come away even losing a pound! 45 down, 55 to go! Again, I started with veggies from the relish tray and tried to do good from there.
One of my weaknesses is mashed potatoes and the variety that was served included goats milk, cream, [...]

My dad and his wife visited from Indiana this weekend and we celebrated Christmas in a grand way. Thankfully, I made it through another Christmas meal without gaining any weight. I have certainly had plenty of opportunities to blow it and even indulged way more than I would on an average day. [...]
