So now I can zip my dress. Problem is, I want to tone up.. i
I am confused and need a little guidance. I started this about 2 months ago because I couldn't zip the wedding dress I bought. Well, now it is actually being taken in an inch or so. Yes! Great job, right? Well, kinda. The problem is, I conquered this by monitoring my calories and not exercising all too much. (I know, bad!)…

So NOW you decide to feel hungry.
I'm trying to get more into the habit of having a snack between meals, so that I can keep my metabolism revved up. I eat breakfast before 6 am, and my lunch break isn't until 1 pm, so I think it's really important to eat something in between. So why is it that for the past two days, I haven't even felt hungry when I eat my…

Who needs salad dressing when....?
So, I am always looking for new salad dressings to try but nothing ever satisfies me! To be honest, my favorite "salad dressing" is actually just plain ol' balsamic vinegar (no oil)! But somehow I failed to recall using the last of it (maybe it wasn't even me) so I was left without yesterday. I have tons of other dressings…

My eating plan consists of a protein, a green or fiberous veggie or low GI…

Bad lunch choice
I am just going to admit it. I was bad today. I did not eat breakfast this morning due to over sleeping, and I rushed out the door without making a healthy lunch.
