What mall food used to stop you in your tracks?!?
Today when we went to the mall I passed by that evil American Cookie Company and by evil I mean downright delicious. I looked at my old favorite the frosted cookie cake triangle and said "so delicious and so not worth it." Oh the good ole fat days have been replaced by the healthy smoothie days.

Spring oh spring where are you?
This time of year can have a way of taking some of the fun out of exercise and being outdoors. While I do love the gym and being motivated by others getting their exercise on.....I so wish I could get in a good run or walk outside because I miss it. How do you stay motivated with activity when the cold has you stuck…

Proud of myself
I have been working hard lately to try to stay positive and I still struggle some days..... Today started out a mess with a trip to the dentist followed by a meal of hot wings and some brownies which was not a full blown binge, but pretty close to it. My calories were not terribly awful and I pulled myself out of binge…

Turn that frown upside down.
So Tuesday was a calorie nightmare for me as I let myself get way to bent out of shape over stress and ate too much. I question if there will ever be a time when I don't sometimes struggle deeply with emotions and eating and veer off the beaten path every now and again. I was pissed because I was using food for something…

When does it get easier???
So the whole binge eating problem is not new to me because I have been dealing with this since I was 8 years old and am now in my mid 30's. I have done so well for the last year with only the occassional small binge and have lost alot of weight and then I get to the one year mark of my weight loss and totally give in today…

How's your Monday?
It seems that alot of people can dread Monday, but I like to take the opposite view point and push myself harder at the start of the week. I look at it similar to the beginning of a day and the meal that you choose which sets the tone for the rest of the day. If I begin the day with an unhealthy meal I seem to find it hard…

Anybody have an NSV for the day?
I went in to Target and tried on size 7 pants and a size 8 dress and they were actually both too big. Seems like size 20 was such a long time ago now and that "Me" is so in the past. Hope everyone had a completely awesome day!

Back to whole food eating again.
So I do love the occassional donut or truffle on special days like Valentines, I must admit that I really feel so much better when I eat healthy whole unprocessed foods. Greek yogurt and berries with granola or a spinach salad with pumpkin seeds, cranberries and an egg really gives me so much more energy to get through the…

Day after Chocolate Day!
Hope everyone had a great Valentine's and that if you splurged on the calories that you picked it right back up today and went back to track with your healthy eating goals. It is all about moderation and sticking to it long term. Best of wishes and hope you have an awesome weekend!

Your favorite motivational quote...
What inspires you to live a positive life and know that you CAN do things? Mine is-"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."~Confucius When I began losing weight I looked at and thought it was impossible because I was too out of shape. Well it is a year later and 93lbs down and I can do more pushups and…

Happy Tuesday-What are you grateful for today?
I hope that everyone is having an awesome day and that you all have great healthy food choices available. Staying positive and making sure to see the food you are giving your body as fuel rather than what you are giving up is a great way to insure success. ~One of the things that I am most grateful for is getting up to a…
