I’m a great starter. I’ve started Weight Watchers, a colon cleanse, a juice cleanse, Couch to 5K, The 30 Day Shred, started stopping drinking, eating less meat, eating more meat. I think by “starting” all of these I am confusing the hell out of my body. And possibly myself. 148 and holding. Clearly taking on…
I am a sucker for documentaries. Give me an hour-long docudrama on some cause and I get all riled up. Many years ago, while I was pregnant with HJ, I saw this gem: The idea was simple: drink only freshly made juice for 60 days. Clearly being pregnant meant it wasn’t necessary for me to…
WARNING: This is a POOP post. If you are disgusted by discussions around poop, colon cleansing, etc. please, please don’t read on. I don’t want to inflict any unnecessary damage on any reader who is grossed out by poop. According to the company who produced the colon cleanse that cost me lots of $$…. I…
Sometimes there’s this weird need in me to just get outside, just move, just do something. I’ve been struggling with staying focused on eating right and treating my body right…. four days of the 30 Day Shred and then abandoned. Two weeks of Couch to 5K, abandoned. I really hated running. Or moving. But the…
Three pounds in one week. That’s what I lost last week after starting Weight Watchers. And if that sounds easy, it wasn’t. At all.For one, tracking what you eat really isolates what you’ve been eating that has been hindering previous success. For example, that baguette you love? 6 points. A glass of wine? 4 points….
I’ve been “seriously trying to lose weight” since the day HJ was born….. and seriously barely budging the scale in the process. The day I realized I was pregnant the scale registered at 135 pounds, about 10 pounds up from my wedding day weight, and in my eyes, the perfect number for my 5’4 frame….
To see her is to NOTICE her. Bright PINK hair and enough energy, well, enough energy to walk 900 miles…. Kathleen DiRusso has been championing breast cancer awareness for ten years, and I had the privileged to walk beside her last year at the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in Boston. Kathy is…
Wellness Matters. It’s more than just a catchy slogan, it needs to become a way of life. I know in my heart of hearts that there are behaviors in my life that I need to curb. I need to find the motivation to really put this journey into motion. It’s been months of procrastination… false…
Weight loss without a scale is hard for me; I always measured by the numbers glaring at me from below. When I was pregnant with HJ I really struggled to maintain my weight and hated that I couldn’t see the scale all that well over my belly! 8 months pregnant with GD & Pupps…. I…
Happy Monday everyone! Things might look a bit different here today because today is the first ever “Wellness Maters Monday” (WMM). Some readers might be aware that I was trying to launch another blog, which focuses on my own as well as other mommas’ journeys of positive change. Needless to say running two blogs, being…
