Lacking on Energy? I am.

I have been soooooooooo sleepy this week.  Between the after effects of a week partying with the b5media youngsters in Austin, and my usual misery that is March allergies (but I am so glad things are getting green around here!), I have really been miserable this week.  I have gone to bed early every […]

Carnie Wilson’s Weight Loss Struggles Featured in OK! Magazine

If there is one person I can relate to in this world, it is Carnie Wilson.  Her struggles with her weight have been so very public over the last quite a few years.  She is the daughter of Beach Boy Brian Williams, who himself had a fairly public struggle with his weight and other […]

Is Your Tummie Yummie?

Mine isn’t.  Never has been.  Bad belly genes, methinks.  A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Yummie Tummie, who makes a garment that, well, just about all of us can use at one time or another.  This is a cute top, with a secret “suck in your gut” midriff area.  The top […]

Trying out the Self Challenge - Year 3

*big sigh*
One of my dearest friends has been really into this Self Challenge for the past couple of go-rounds.  I’m sure she is going to do it this year as well, even though I haven’t heard about it yet.  I have signed up the last two years, and have just signed up for 2008.  […]

National Breakfast Week

This next week coming up is National Breakfast Week.  You did know we had National Breakfast Week, didn’t you?
Some of the things that I am concerned about as a mother is not passing on my horrific food habits on to my kids.  Sadly, that doesn’t always work.  But one thing that is really important […]

eDiets on the Brain

I just stink at moderating myself.  I don’t know why.  I can moderate the kids, moderate the bills, moderate other people, but when it comes to moderating myself, I am awful.  I have dieted all of my life, but my greatest successes have been when I have let other people tell me what to eat.  […]

Christina Week 6 - On a better track

So pre-fashion week wasn’t so inspiring to me, but a few good things happened to me during and after that have put me in a much better frame of reference and feeling more positive.

The Secrets of my Non-Success

1.  Work entirely too much.  Obsessively, even.
2.  Feel guilty for not spending proper time with the kids, so when you’re not obsessively working, you are taking care of them.
3.  *Forget* to take care of you.
4.  Buy quick and easy snacks and meals.  They are always great for you.
5.  Don’t plan ahead for success.  Fate […]

Week 2 - Christina - Uh, been a bad diet week

Well, so, this is every woman’s favorite week of the month.  Not only are you tired and just a wee bit cranky, you want to eat everything in the house.  Or in my case, I worked too hard and was too lazy to cook all week, so we ate out a couple of times.  […]

Christina’s Week 1

Well, I have had a decent first week. My goals for this week were to get back in the habit of taking my vitamins and other medications (glucophage, chantix), to get a little exercise, and to eat right. Well, almost 2 out of three ain’t bad, is it? Yeah, kinda bad.
I did […]
