Getting too busy to eat...
I launched my bakery a couple of weeks ago, and it's really taking off. Great, right? Yeah... until I forget to eat because I have umpteen zillion things to do. More than ever I need fast, simple, healthy meals that will help me stay on track throughout the day and not end up with 2/3 of my calories to kill come dinner…

25 pounds gone forever!
Okay, so it's not the huge losses people rave about, but for me it's incredible. (Thank you, IPOARM, btw.) In January I weighed 240 pounds. Today the scale reads 215, and even a monthly cycle couldn't shake it up more than a couple of pounds of water weight, which disappeared a few days later. I spoke with my doctor on…

Need a new scale
Well, all essential purchases from our tax refund have been made... We've got a bit left, and I want a new scale. The one I have is one of those terrible old spring ones with a little magnifier on a needle that swings over to the number. Hard to read and not terribly accurate. I'd like one that measures body fat %, water %…

Okay, so it's not jaw-dropping before & after pictures, but we've all gotta start somewhere! (PS, I tried, I really did, but I can't get…

Breast-feeding Mamas, do you allow for the milk you make?
Many studies show that a breastfeeding mother burns an additional 3-500 calories a day while exclusively breastfeeding. My doctor's said that 2-300 is a fair estimate given my son's age (almost 15 months) and how much he is still nursing (5-6x solid feeds in 24 hours, in addition to a normal solids diet for his age). Like…

Need exercise suggestions
Okay, folks, I just had my gall bladder out. Now, as surgery goes, laproscopic gall bladder removal is about as gentle as it gets, but I'm still sore as hell and feel like I have a constant runner's stitch, so anything cardio or that makes more than stabilizing use of the abs is out for a while yet. I'm bored. And hungry.…

Looking for Techie Moms
So here's the deal: I just had my gall bladder out on Thursday. I no longer have a choice, unless I want to be utterly miserable every time I indulge, I have to change my life, NOW. Being in the hospital for a week (not eating at all) and having an organ removed gave me a nice 13 pound jump start, but I'm not resting on…
