Today is my last day of work at my current job. I am actually a little sad about leaving. I have been trying to think back to when I first started here almost a year ago...it was such a new experience. This was my first job working in an office. While

For the past three weeks, I have been watching portion size, eating more protein, and doing cardio and strength training 4-5 days a week. And the results have been amazing! I haven't dropped any dress sizes and have only lost 2-3 pounds but the mental

I feel like I shouldn't have had such a good weekend with DH gone but I did. Friday night, two of my old roommates and I played Scrabble, went and looked at the 35W bridge (we couldn't see much), and watched The Number 23 (very good movie). It was so

It hits a little too close to home because I live only about 2 miles from that bridge!! There has been a lot of road construction in that area lately and the entrance ramps I usually use have been closed so I haven't driven that bridge much lately. But

For the longest time, I've felt the victim of my own undisciplined eating habits. It doesn't take much to get me off track--a bowl of chips, a bag of candy, a cake at work, pre-dinner bread at a restaurant. It happens so often that I try to psyche myself
