Never take orders from a cookie!
From the category archives:
I am turning 31 this weekend. Birthdays are always an exciting time for me. All the free lunches and free dinners because people want to treat you. Then there are the birthday cakes (yep, multiple ones). Lastly there is the grand finale feast that my mom spends all day shopping and preparing when I visit. And of course, there are all the restaurants my husband drags me to because of the lure of a free birthday meal.

According to Reader’s Digest, most women gain back the weight they loss for a wedding within a year of the marriage. I might have set a new record with my 2 months. It has to be the weather. Or it could be my serious face time with yummy food during my two week honeymoon. Whatever the case, my weight is up and my pants are tight.

This post is based upon an engaging discussion I had with my co-worker and bowling partner, Steve, about weight gain with a desk job, eating low carb, and smaller portions. I concluded this post with the seed planting idea to inspire others to live a healthier lifestyle.

Though variety is the spice of life, when it comes to dieting, variety increase our chances of failure. The January issue of most magazines always have some kind of meal and exercise plan to whip us back into shape after a couple months of holiday eating. If you count the ingredient list of these meal plans, they usually average at least 6 to 10 ingredients. Most of which are used in only 1 or 2 meals for a week long meal plan. How practical is that?! Variety in food is what kills most diet plans.
The execution of a diet meal plan is the key to success for weight loss.

I consider this month to be my 1st year blog anniversary. I did not start to blog regularly until January of last year, even though I have a couple of posts from previous months. Though I am quite happy with the amount of traffic I get from people passing through, I really want to have more “regulars” show up on my doorsteps. And as with real life, you cannot make friends unless you let people in – let them see the real you.
So this year, I would like to share more stories about my life (or at least stories pertaining to health and fitness), even if they do not end with some profound sentence about how the story will change my readers life. I would like to take shot at trying to amuse my readers with the mishaps and adventures in my life……………..

Enjoy the funny breakfast clip.
Breakfast is the most importance meal of the day for weight loss or at least that is what most people say. And that we should eat breakfast within 1-2 hours of waking.
I think that is good advice in general, but might not be true for everyone. For those dieters that [...]

According to Mindless Eating, drinking a broth based soup, a small side salad with non-creamy dressing, or a piece of fruit helps reduce the amount of calories eaten during a meal. These items consist of either fiber or mostly water which helps your stomach detect that satiated feeling to prevent overeating.
In addition, it takes [...]

Microwave dinners are a stable in my brown bag lunches. It provides instant portion control and convenience when we do not have any leftovers from the night before for lunch the next day. I prefer microwave dinner to fast food for lunch when I have the option.
Microwave dinners are not the salt pit that it [...]
