I keep emphasizing how important it is for your body to not get too much into a routine with eating and exercise. For example, I constantly have a salad for dinner almost every night. When I start to plateau I change all my favorite foods so I can keep my metabolism guessing. Last ...

If you're a new mom, don't waste your money on cotton swaddles. My friend kept raving about the Halo brand of swaddles and I couldn't understand why. Now I get it. Our son has been living in his Halo swaddle at night since the first few weeks he was born. He did originally ha...

How did all of you do with Super Bowl parties? I hope you didn't get too crazy with the beverages, fried foods, and chip/dips. But, remember, there are times when you should let loose and if this was one of those times try not to beat yourself up about it today. I would bet that yo...

I'm so excited! I lost more weight this morning. I'm almost to my first goal weight at JC. Why is it better to choose smaller weight loss goals? According to the website, www.nhlbi.nih.gov, your goal should be attainable, specific, and forgiving (because none of us are p...

Tonight we went over to our friends' house that just had a baby six weeks ago. I can't tell you how important it is to have people in your life that are going through some of the same experiences as you...especially during this stage of life. It's not that my other friends are less impor...

Whooo! Lost another pound! Yeah! It slowly seems like it's going to come off now. It's helping bring back my confidence. I've been so unsure since I got pregnant if I'd be able to lose the baby weight. It seems as if "shaking up" my food and exercise has really he...

This is absolutely absurd but I think my creamer for my coffee was actually making it difficult for me to lose! It was french-vanilla fat-free but I think it had a lot of sodium and sugar in it. I was so mad when my grocery store stopped carrying it but I guess it was a blessing in disgu...

You hear a lot about my husband and my trials and tribulations of having a newborn. I think it's also worthwhile to talk about the amazing benefits of having a baby. Maybe you're contemplating having children but my blogs have scared you off. Our son is engaging more often, ...

I decided to do some investigating on other mom's who maybe going through the same thing as me with a fussy baby. I just don't hear many parents talk about it - I don't if it's because it's quickly forgotten or because it's embarrassing to admit that you're having a tough time. Either wa...
