Look out Chicago, I'm coming to eat All the Things!
I'm visiting my parents near Chicago for the next week. Mostly this is a kitten to brag post because I'm going to take the week at maintenance and have (reasonable portions of) Giordano's pizza (sorry Lou's fans!), Chicago mix popcorn, Portillo's, and a gyro on a fried pita dripping with tzatziki. Oh, and Pita Inn. And…

Weight loss supplements
One more reason why weight loss supplements are a terrible idea-sometimes they "work" because the manufacturer snuck in controlled substances: https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm549586.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

A winter nsv!
One of my non-scale goals was to have an easier time getting up after falling while skiing (I'm a perpetual beginner, so I fall frequently, and feeling like a fat turtle stuck in the snow is no fun).

C25K beginners?
I've just finished week 1 of c25k (for the 3rd time in 10 years, but we won't get into that). My husband has good intentions of starting with me, but so far he hasn't made the time. I would really like to connect with others who are starting or about to start the c25k. I'm having a hard time staying motivated to actually…

ISO: Attitude adjustment (or apple shape success stories)
This post should be a work-in-progress success story. I should be amazed by what I've accomplished so far. Instead I'm focusing on the one part that's not going the way I want and whining about it. So far I've:* Lost 19 pounds from my highest ever weight * Dropped my A1C to 5.0. I had gestational diabetes twice and have 2…
