So you know The Magic Dumbbell story is not true right? The other day I got to thinking about how it seems as if famous people gain a lot of weight, then magically get it removed in record time. We ordinary mortals make excuses that it is because they can afford a personal trainer,… Read More The Magic Dumbbell, Part Deux
Once upon a time there was a bee-you-tee-full Hollywood movie star who had been pregnant then delivered a beautiful baby girl. She had a movie premier she needed to appear at, but alas! When she looked down at her body, she squawked and cried aloud, Alas! I have put on 50 pounds. Oh woe is… Read More The Magic Dumbbell
Do you ever wondered why you “fall off the wagon” when it comes to dieting, or changing any bad habit you want to change?

This is apparently a new (old?) enemy to those who want to eat more… Read More A Week Without… my microwave?
MAN it’s been a long haul, up and down, down and up for this 10 pound weight loss goal, and I’ve been a psycho-kitty (just saying I’m unbalanced, bwahaahhaahaa). Focused, scattered, mad, glad, sad, amazed, freaked, breaking rules, dumb, happy, thrilled, angry, stupid, unhappy, eating right, not eating right, learning, plateauing, stuffing, weighing foods, avoiding… Read More Ch-ch-ch-changes Part 100,000
****Another Most Excellent Journey Update**** I only have 2.5 pounds to go for my (first) 10 pound goal. (See HERE for what prompted this goal-setting) It’s been slow but STEADY. I even ate full fat lasagna (*Ahem*. T’was not my fault, Alpha Hubby made me do it with his office party and the 4 containers… Read More Ch-ch-ch-changes, Part Trois
