Monday (today) is the day I get out of the fog and start counting calories again, with healthy meal choices lined up and ready to go. I have been on autopilot and the good news is that I didn't gain any weight. The bad news is that I didn't lose any either, and that is not getting me any closer to my goal of healthy…

Wondering if a protein powder would make this even better. Also, are you just using a blender or do you have a special juicer? I have not tried a juicer - seems expensive and not sure I'll like the outcomes. I have done smoothies with protein powder (pea powder from Arbonne to avoid soy, which is problematic for me post…

Hiking is just about one of my favorite activities! Glad you enjoyed it LaDonna. Nothing lifts the spirits more than a good dose of nature, in my book! I haven't tried much new in the way of diet, but I'm learning how to use Adobe Creative Suites at work and enjoying that! Now if I could just get home before dark again…

I also made my VERY favorite soup on Sunday, Creamy…

Sal, I am a biology teacher too, and used to do agility with my first dog! Glad you are still up for the agility training with your dog - it will be a good motivator for you to be doing something you love, and not having to give it up. Good luck with the hand signals - I always thought it was fun to watch people move their…

My name is Berna. I'm a 50 year old biology professor, and I would like to get back to a healthy weight. Over the last 30 years, I've put on 2 pounds per year, and so I'm looking at 60 unwanted pounds that seem to have just arrived out of nowhere. I used to be very active physically, and so I could pretty much eat anything…
