Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!

OMG!! I discovered something new and terrible this week. Apparently a regular exercise program can be hazardous to my health!

The Life of a Party Girl

The article below originally appeared in my Zumba instructor's newsletter. Marcela is amazing. Check her out here, along with some great videos from class.


It’s hard to get excited about a party when your party dress doesn’t fit.

Back in the summer of 2011, I had finally grown tired of my party clothes being too small. Actually, all of my clothes had gotten too small. And my knees hurt. And I was tired all the time.

Note to Self: In the Beginning, It Sucked

It seems like, for me anyway, getting started with anything new is always tough. There are stops and starts and false starts and victories and stumbles and dull lulls that drive one to drink. Or to doughnuts. Whichever.

Big Servings, Guilt Free Desserts

I LOVE dessert. If it’s sweet, pass it down. And please, no tiny portions or just a taste. I want a BIG bowl of that!

The problem, of course, is that desserts tend to be crazy high in caramel, chocolate, ice cream, syrup, whipped cream, cake and powdered sugar. Translation: way-over-my-calorie/PointsPlus-limit.

Junk Food Gets a Makeover

"Mom," said my twelve year old son, "can you just make healthy food taste as good as junk food?"

He's right. It stinks that things that taste so good are also often full of sugar, fat, salt, high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats, and other less-than-healthy ingredients.

Still, sometimes there's nothing quite like a chip. And who doesn't love pizza?

Well, guess what - chips and pizza are back on the table!

Saying No to the Little Blue Cup

They say that confession is good for the soul. I have a confession to make.

In June of 2011, I turned 49 and was staring down the road at the big 50. I decided the time had come to take charge of my weight issue. So, with that in mind, I began the process of preparing to have Lap Band Surgery.
