30DS Starting 6/15 or 6/16
So, it's the middle of the month. Were you like me and tried the 30 Day Shred with Jilian Michaels early in June and just found it too hard to stick with? Who says you have to start a 30 day anything at the beginning of the month? Imagine how you'll feel on July 1 - being 1/2 way done with the shred. You must start today…

NVS - Not stretching clothes
So, I bought some polos online from Old Navy a few months ago (I'm a sucker for clearance items) and they were WAY too small when I got them. I remembered about them this monring when I was deciding what to wear to work. I tired on the blue one and it was form fitting - wasn't tight, rolls weren't everywhere, etc.…

Stress Eating
My week has been a total and complete rollercoaster of stress at work and at home - and I have turned to food. I was good on Monday, but those damn Hershey Kisses that sit on my desk were screaming my name Tuesday and yesterday afternoon when I just HAD it!!! I'm trying very hard not to beat myself up but this is the first…

Any fried black bean burgers out there!?!?!
So, I go to lunch with my boyfriend and figure I'd either go with the turkey burger or black bean burger. The black bean burger sounded better and I substituted fries with fruit (go me!!). My lunch comes and the black bean burger is FRIED!!!! OMG what am I going to do? I looked at my boyfriend in terror - "It's…

Sodium Sucks!!!
Thanks to MFP, I'm able to keep myself honest. Well, honestly, I had been over, WAY over, on my sodium since I started. Canned soups, "health" frozen dinners, lunch meat, etc etc etc were my buddies when I started this journey - now they are my enemies. I bought a book - "The Secret to Skinny: How Salt Makes you Fat and…

You are what you eat!
I have been "good" and sticking to my plan (even during my "cheat" meal) - Yesterday was the exception. I had been eating on track all day and went out to dinner last night. Chili's!!! I know they have healthy options, but once my bf and I agreed that we'd start with the nachos, my willpower went out the window and that…

I hate my scale
So, I feel like I did such a good job last week with working out and eating right and "only" lost 2 pounds. My clothes are feeling better and I can start to see the results in my face and on my body, but that 2 pounds was crushing!!! Anyone else hate their scale? BTW - I love this website and am so motivated by all that I…
