Not wanting to speed up time but....
How many of you are looking forward to Jan 2, 2012 and wanting it to hurry up and get here? Not because you want Christmas or the new year to HURRY UP and get over with, I would NEVER wish that, but to just have things "back to normal"! And by "back to normal" I mean not having a "get together" whether it be family or…

A couple of NSV's to share-
The other day I leaned over to kiss my husband good-bye as I headed back to work. He was home, just had surgery on his eyes so he was doing the whole "feely touchy thing" you know since he couldn't use his eyes. Well he went for my butt and as he did he said, wait where is your butt? This is where it usually is but I got…

Eat back your exercise calories or not???
So this seems to be a BIG TOPIC on just about any given day! I decided to do a little experiment for my own satisfaction to find out which one is better for ME!

So what do you do when its nasty out?
So last night I was unable to take my dog for our nightly walk - :sad: - it was nasty, rainy and just plain yuck out. So I grabbed some 5 lbs weights and during my 8:00 show when commercials came on I got up and did some squats, lunges, upper arm exercises and other things. There were 5 commercial breaks average time for…

Not enough calories? What do you do?
Does anyone ever have days where you find yourself at the end of the day with LOTS of calories, at least more then on a normal day, left over? If so how do you get your minimum calories in for that day? What do you seek out to eat? I am having a stressful day and finding it difficult to eat which means if I don't eat…

Ok I am having an issue with "buying new clothes" at this point in my weight loss. I have lost only 16 lbs so far and intend on loosing LOTS more, however, my clothes are loose right now.
