The crazy little Ant (with mild language)
OK, before I share with you my little story let me explain something. Yes we have ants, and yes I will think nothing of poisoning them this weekend when we get to get some Ant traps. Also, my husband and I are slobs. We are the artsy creative types smashed with all our gear into a small little apartment . It can't really…

I am learning that planning meals ahead works!!!
I am finding it fun to find healthy meals. BUT I am running out of ideas!!! Please help!!! So far I make my lunch the day before so that I can think about it. I have also found that shopping once a week lets you buy only what you need and no junk food. Today I am making Lemon pepper chicken breast (4oz) steamed peas and…

I'm hungry!
Today is my first day back on my eating right and excercise plan. And I'm freaking HUNGRY!!! I had my lunch (and it was yummy too!), and now it's taking all of my willpower to not eat the easter candy that's sitting in my pantry. I know it's not worth it, but this is usually my time of day to indulge a LOT. Candy, cookies,…

**Motivation Jeans**
So I went shopping the other day, and I found a pair of jeans that I LOVE! :love: Unfortunately, I tried them on and they were uncomfortably tight. :noway: Instead of putting them back, I decided to purchase them and keep them hanging in plain sight for motivation. I did the same thing when I first started MFP, but those…

Does your exercise annoy others?
Seriously I feel as if I am the happiest I've been in a long time. Not only does exercising and working out pay off by what you see physically but there are just as many benefits mentally. My head is clearer, I am more positive, I think I have a better outlook on things....and the list could go on. That being said I find…

However, this week I reduced my calorie intake a little more and have added more workouts to my routine and I'm not losing weight. I started off losing a pound, then i…
