Ode to the Avocado
Oh, avocado! To what do we owe the great pleasure? You can be enjoyed so many ways: grilled, in guacamole, sliced on a salad or sandwich, in salad dressing, the possibilities are endless. You can absorb so many delicious flavors and you add amazing texture and creaminess to whatever I put you in. I love thee, and will love…

Insane amounts of energy!
I've really been watching my diet and avidly going to the gym and I'm happy to say that I've been experiencing EXTREME amounts of energy. We're talking like pregnancy-nesting-rivalry energy.

Weight and dress size...???
I've seen some people on MFP posting their weight and corresponding dress sizes in other message boards. Ex: 164 lbs, size 16. While I was reading them, they got me confused. I weigh 172 and wear a 10. I'm not really tall either, 5 ft 6. How is it possible that someone weighing less than I do wears 3 dress sizes bigger? Is…

Doughnuts: Why are you so delicious?
I'm frustrated with myself today. I've been trying to not only stay within my calorie limits everyday, but make sure that the calories I consume are coming from lean protein, vegetables, and fruit. I have been very strict with what little carbs I've put into my mouth this week- until this morning. Enter- the chocolate…
