Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Break is now over and reality will set in tomorrow morning when I wake up at 5:45 and get ready to teach. Normally I'm ready to go back and get into a routine again. But, this time is different; in the back of my mind I have no...

I hope you all have a safe, peaceful, fun, and enjoyable New Year's! I want to thank all of you that take the time to listen to my thoughts on food, weight, friends, family, and stress! Like I've mentioned in the past, I'm certainly no expert. But, thanks to Jenny Craig...

I had a comment today on one of my blogs asking if I eat other things besides processed foods and ever make homemade meals. The processed foods that are considered bad for you are bleached, artificially flavored and sweetened, high in sugar and sodium foods. My diet generally tries to av...

You know what the worst is?! Being in the staff lounge at work! There is ALWAYS some sort of sweet, pastry, appetizer, dip, or bread to tempt me. Either it is someone's birthday or it's "Wednesday Breakfast" where a few people take turns bringing in casseroles, Pa...

Some people may criticize my diet because I don't have a lot of elaborate menu items. If you are looking for lengthy recipes my diet is definitely not for you. I have to admit, by the time I get home from work I don't feel like making a labor-intensive meal. I'm all abo...
