Is It Yogurt? Or Dessert In Disguise?

Today, as a snack, I tried a new flavor from Yoplait’s Light Yogurt line: Black Forest Cake. I’m beginning to wonder if these little treats should really be classified as yogurt.

Recovering from Vacation Eating

Last week was a vacation week of sorts for me. It started as a bona fide vacation. We went away for a couple of days for a family reunion. And then my sister was in town for the rest of the week, which had me visiting her around my work schedule. I have to...

Diet By Camera: a weight loss accountability tale

On Monday, right after I posted about it, I started taking pictures of my food BEFORE I ate it. I’m using my iPhone to take the pictures so the quality of the photos are not very good, but I have to say the quality of the food I am eating since I started this...

Who Has Inspired You to Get Fit?

06/15/2010

I’ve been feeling a little like Debbie Downer lately, dealing with some nagging injuries that are just not letting me be at the top of my game. I’ve been frustrated, which just ends up sabotaging any ground I do gain in my quest for fitness. So I decided to take a step back and...

Sweet Rewards

06/06/2010
Sweet Rewards

When I was growing up, we were always rewarded with sweets. “Finish your dinner and you’ll get dessert.” Sometimes only the thought of homemade brownies or bread pudding would help get me through the lima beans or the liver.

Weighing In
