Frustrated consuming all of my calories!!! Too many?
I have really got to get eating these extra calories back. I find this to be very difficult. It is not like I haven't eaten today, or the last several. I feel like it is too much. Given the never-ending strong opinions on this topic I am conflicted. When I first started MFP I wasn't quite as obsessed, and I think I was…

Mindfully Aware of Loving Me
Today I have marked 115 days on MFP! Back in January, this is what I chose to put in the spot on your profile where you can put a quote: "Loving myself for a better mind, body and soul" I think that even then, I knew that I had a lot of work to do. As I have been working hard to change my eating and exercise habits I am…

Hey! Can We Talk?!
If you are reading this then you know that I am generally speaking, an all around, fun, nice gal. Upbeat, positive, and friendly too, not at all anti-social....

A word about last night...
Last night my husband and I went to a parent event for our youngest child's crew team. It was at a musuem in the city and we had to bring a dessert. Even though I had a tough start to the day regarding exercise, I got it done and ate under calories in anticipation of the dinner. Once there, I decided to drink calories in…

The class is called Move…
