Yoga Poses for Sugar Cravings
Thought this was pretty interesting - most of the poses aren't super scary. I recently picked up a couple of Tara Stiles yoga DVDs and she's pretty good. Apparently the personal yoga instructor to Deepak Chopra. http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-4407/Yoga-CuresSugar-Cravings-Tara-Stiles-4-Poses-to-Help-Us-Beat-Sugar.html…

Apparently Avocados Can Make You Fat
This was a quote from a coworker today that gave me a good chuckle. I thought you folks here could appreciate it as it confirms that you're doing the right thing by counting calories! I know I was secretly thinking 'DUH!' when I heard it. Apparently he overdid it on avocado recently and gained some weight. The backstory:…

Long Armed & Tall Ladies - blouse shopping?
So I'm not 'tall' exactly (5'6.5"), but my arms are LONG. As an example, my arms are the same length as my hubby, who is 3" taller than I am.

It's totally contrived and it really…

Anyone else rocking the hobo look?
I've been purposely putting off buying new clothes because I didn't want to buy all new and then have to do it again a few months later. At Thanksgiving my mom helped me put darts in my pants so I could continue to wear them. But now I'm about 7 pounds from my goal and I really am starting to look like a hobo with how…

Maintaining Goal Weight...Still Count Everything?
When I started counting calories and using MyFitnessPal, it was under the assumption that eventually I'd stop counting but would still continue making good food choices. I'd still read labels and generally estimate how I'm doing each day, but just not record it. I don't want to count everything forever, but as I approach…
