Back again .... it's been a crazy year with a lot of stress. Hopefully things are calming down now, although my dad was just diagnosed with throat cancer - so the stress probably won't stop any time soon. But I really, really, really have to focus a bit on me -my weight has just kept going up. So I re-started my nutrition…

Goldk - as far as 'changing my thinking', I'm trying to get back to a place where my health is a top priority again (weightloss being a big part of that).

My mom was in the hospital for a few days, but went home on Saturday.

I drink 1 mug of green tea every morning (for summer I've been drinking iced green mango - yum) for the caffeine (but started with black tea when I first quit diet pepsi), and then I have a bubbly flavored water like H2O at my desk - because I miss the bubbles in diet pepsi.

My nutritionist recommends maximums of 30g per meal and 15g per snack (eating a meal or snack every 2-3 hours). So I try to average between 100-135g carbs a day. If I'm consistent with this I'm able to lose weight. For me, right now, this is the most doable and I feel good when I stick with it. It is so nice to have a…

Hi all! I wish I could say that I've been doing well, but I haven't. I don't want to get on the scale this week because I can tell by my clothes that I'm up again.
