Is It Yogurt? Or Dessert In Disguise?

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. To be honest, this one was disappointing. It tasted like cherry yogurt. Not that I mind cherry yogurt, mind you, but I was...

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...

Is Food Photo Blogging The Next Step?

Catching up on my blog reading this morning, I stopped by foodfoodbodybody, one of my favorite Weight Watchers bloggers, to see that she now has a photo food blog. She eats cool stuff. I’ve been really struggling with staying on track these days, and I’ve been allowing foods to slip into my mouth before...

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...

Walking Is Good Too

I’ve been having a problem with my hip the last couple of weeks and running is out of the question. My hip will start to feel better after a day or two, but any running, even a couple of blocks, the pain comes back. So instead of running, and in an attempt to keep...

Sweet Rewards

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.

More Tales of the Scale

I finally caved a week ago and bought batteries for my scale. I really wanted to get a handle on the number these days. I gave it a good week off to try to get out of the mentality, but to no avail. I still need to see those numbers. But there was a...

Weighing In

Weighing In

I am a self-admitted scale junky. Not a day goes by where I don’t get on the scale first thing in the morning to see where the numbers are. Lately, I haven’t been too impressed with those numbers, as I’ve been struggling a little to stay on the right track with food. My birthday...
