How do I survive an action packed weekend of way too much everything? Well, I plan things out the best I can with my Jenny Craig consultant. I pick foods for the entire day if I know I'm going to be having a beverage so that don't have added fat. See my JC meals below for...

This afternoon we leave for our 8th annual gatlinburg trip with three other couples. When I was a junior in college my boyfriend (who is my husband now) wanted to surprise me for Valentine's Day and take me to Gatlinburg, TN and get a cabin in the mountains. Our best friends were dating ...

Today I was at a meeting and couldn't stop being jealous of the breakfast the girl next to me was eating. She had stopped at Sonic (right there that's unheard of for me) and gotten a "footlong" sausage, biscuit, and gravy meal. Now I'm usually all for healthy meals but if you've read any...

It's a whole new ballgame having a newborn. The amount of worrying I do has doubled since being pregnant. My husband's uncle received a picture over the weekend of our son. You know how most people have red eyes when a picture is taken? Well, our son's eyes were completely ye...

I can really sympathize with overweight children. Today another teacher overheard a conversation at lunch between two kids. I didn't catch everything that took place but I got the gist of what happened: a 4th grade boy who is overweight gets teased by the kids in his class. H...

Today my husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day. It was really nice - we haven't been on a "date" just the two of us since before our son was born. A family friend watched him while we did lunch and a movie. We decided to go to the little "cafe" in Whole Foods Market. I LOV...

Sometimes I have flashbacks to the days when I battled bulemia. They will just randomly pop in my head and a pang of saddness will come over me. I felt so alone and angry with my body during college. Years of being teased had piled up until I felt helpless. Working out twice ...

I didn't get weighed in last night because we had conferences. Darn, those make for long days, which means I won't get to see my son at all. He will be in bed before I get home. 8-9 is such a long day and I'm just wiped out the following day.
There's still a part ...

What are the benefits of green tea? Many of the sites explored discussed that green tea helps fight cancer. It decreases the growth of cancer cells. There must be something to it since the Chinese have been drinking it for thousands of years. I also read that it hel...
