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 decided that I would pre-plan all of my snacks and to make it easier to document by [...]
This morning the scale said 190, and that means another two pounds this week! Yay! There was actually one day in the middle of the week where I was teased with 189. That’s ok though… I will see it again soon. Then 188, which will mean 80 pounds lost. [...]
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 [...]
Here I am on Saturday morning typing from my laptop in a hotel room. I am away on an overnight business trip, a featured speaker at an adoption conference on the topic of lifebooks and their importance to an adopted child.

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 [...]

Today gave me plenty of opportunities to challenge my will power. We went to the county fair this morning and stayed a few hours. I was pleased with my ability to refuse my daughter’s offer of funnel cake. I chose a plain pork tenderloin sandwich for lunch and drank a few sips [...]

Today I helped my brother move. I was working at it for about seven hours, so should have burned quite a few calories. I know that I have some muscles that are burning!
Unfortunately, he served pizza as a Thank You meal to those that helped. That was very kind [...]
