I'm back from vacation and I'll be resuming the 100 days of weight loss soon but today I need to vent. I had a doctor's appointment today. After the slew of tests that ran the gamut, the diagnosis is that I'm fat and lazy. There's nothing wro... Read more

Today is about the first two bites. Have you ever noticed that the first two bites of anything taste the best? As you keep eating the flavor loses that little something that makes you go YUM!! It's true. The moral to that story is if you're ... Read more

Today is about eating breakfast every day. One of my earliest memories as a kid is my grandma emphasizing the importance of breakfast. I guess it stuck with me because I've never been a breakfast-skipper. For those who need to get in th... Read more

Thank you to those cheering me along! I usually lose interest on things like this after awhile but this is relatively painless so far. It also really helps posting it here knowing that people will notice if I don't do it. Today, I am to w... Read more

Day 7 is all about telling myself "I can do it!" The book instructs me to put post-it notes everywhere that say "I can do it!" I'm not too sure about that but I suppose I could put up a few in key places like on the fridge and the bathroom mir... Read more
