Delicious Healthy Bars?

Despite what people say about the health (or lack thereof) of nutrition or granola bars, I do want to know what other people are eating out there! I’m desperate for some suggestions, because I have been gravitating towards the candy side as my nutritional supplements become boring. I have a soft spot (literally and figuratively) […]

10 Ways To Cut Back On Your Sugar

I really need this 10 Ways To Cut Back On Sugar list especially after my in-laws’ visit last weekend. See, I take my coffee with sugar and cream. Usually, I just pour milk in my coffee instead of creamer. My mother-in-law loves her creamer so my husband thought he’d get her something she likes. He […]

Healthy Snacking.

As I have to wipe the Cheeto dust off my fingers to type this post, I realize that this does not really fit my post title of Healthy Snacking. LOL. In all honesty, my 16 year old was just putting away a bag of Cheetos when two dropped on the counter and somehow (mysteriously) they […]

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 […]

Free At Last

To say this past week has been hectic is an understatement. Our little bug was sick and I finally, FINALLY logged in my last week at my 9-5 proper desk job. Needless to say, getting in any sort of real exercise was just not going to happen. How much weight have I lost so far? […]

Online Food Diaries.

A health insurance plan that I was on a few years ago had a great program to track you daily caloric intake and exercise. Unfortunately, when we changed insurance carriers, I could no longer access this service. I remember that I liked using it, and it was a great tool in helping me lose some […]

Week One: Progress

After only one week of my Burning the Scale challenge I am already down five pounds. How did I do it you ask? First let me come to your house and lick all your forks. In about 24 hours, you should have the answer. I’m kidding, I wouldn’t wish the stomach flu on my worst […]

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 […]

I’m Good at Excuses

Hi, I’m Deb and I’m a foodaholic. I love to eat. I’m especially fond of carbs- breads, chips, pasta, cookies, anything with the dreaded white flour or sugar is high up on my good things to eat list.
My battle with weight began when I was in my late 20’s. Before that I’d been […]
