I did something kind of stupid
So, after gaining back some weight earlier this year, I got talked into trying an HCG sort of diet by some friends of mine.

Since then, I've been pushing my way through Power 90 -- but I lost my momentum the last couple of weeks. I needed to get back onto the exercise bandwagon, and the Shred seemed the perfect way to do that. If anyone has recently…

The menu can be found here: http://www.samosafactory.net/uploads/Menu4.pdf Are there any diet-friendly choices? Or, should I…

Christmas Vacation with the inlaws -- advice?
Okay, so last night the inlaws talked the hubby and I into joining them for a vacation to San Diego over Christmas. We will be leaving Dec. 23rd and returning Dec. 27th. I've only been on my good eating/exercise plan for 4 days! I DO NOT want to screw up. As far as exercise goes, I will be taking my laptop so I can play my…

I'm married (6 years in Feb.) with no kids, but hoping to…
