Sometimes lately, I think this blog should be called Fat Girl vs. Fit Girl. This being fit thing can certainly feel like a championship fight some days. Today is one of those days. In fact, this has just been one of those weekends. As Fit Girl, over the last week, I’ve been assessing what...

I’m a firm believer in dieting moderation. I have more or less managed to lose 63 pounds eating foods I enjoy…in moderation. Weight Watchers taught me to balance the good foods with the fun foods and to even appreciate the good foods as fun foods. I get lots of exercise too, something I hadn’t...

You may have noticed my absence from the blog world and even twitter this week. Well, not only did I fall off the edge of the virtual world, I more or less fell off of the “watching what I eat, exercising regularly” wagon as well. I can’t really pinpoint what did me in. A...

I’m having a somewhat tough Weight Watcher’s week. Between work stress and at-home business deadline stress, as an emotional eater, not shoving everything under the sun into my mouth takes lots of willpower. Fortunately, I don’t keep anything in my house anymore that could do too much damage. Add to that that because I’ve...

I’m turning 50 in May. Ouch. Not sure I’m loving that number. Someday I’ll blog about my torn rotator cuff and the doctor telling me I had a 48-year-old shoulder. But I digress… So when I started Weight Watchers in July, I decided that I wanted to be 50 pounds (or more) lighter by...

I enjoy walking outside. I’d never go as far as I do if I was trying to do it on a treadmill. So where I live, it was very rainy this weekend, not great for walking long distances. Yesterday morning when I got ready to go though, the rain had stopped and I thought...
