I don´t know about you, but for me, dieting is just hard. Trying to find a diet plan that I could actually eat and make and that I could serve to my family is pretty much impossible. I´ve accepted the fact that I´ll be cooking separate dishes in many cases. My growing boys need their [...]

My sister has been pushing me to get out and walk to the end of the block once a day. I have to admit, a little known fact about me, is that I´ve become rather agoraphobic because of my weight. I feel like people are talking about me and making snide comments all the time [...]

My baby sister, Rebekah, wrote me an email the other day, inviting me and my family to visit Canada. The occasion would be my parent´s 29th anniversary. And we would be leaving in about 6-8 weeks, if everything comes together.
I´m really, really stressed out about this because there is a lot of paperwork to get [...]

This has been a bad week. For many reasons. My baby was sick, my hubby was away . . . and I have to stop using excuses like this to scarf down anything I want to eat! Because my weight has bounced right back up to 202. And I haven´t done much in the [...]

I bought a small Pocket Pedometer the other day. It just hooks onto your belt and counts steps via your waist movements. Apparently quite accurate.
The average person walks between 2,000-5,000 steps a day, depending on how active they are. I recently read that the goal should be 10,000! So, with my trusty pedometer, I [...]

Yesterday was Father´s Day here in Guatemala, but we´re celebrating today with chow mein and carrot cake. I´m thinking two cheat days in a week is probably really bad . . . but who can resist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? Not me, unfortunately.
Tomorrow . . . tomorrow I´m back on the bandwagon with [...]

I´m terrible at dieting. I know you aren´t supposed to diet . . . it´s a lifestyle change. At least, that´s what I´m trying to do.
When you are first starting to build that habit of eating healthy, I think you sometimes need to let yourself cheat and have something not so healthy. Yesterday [...]

I will be the first to admit that I hate exercising just to exercise. My day is full as it is and I hate the idea of taking time out from other “more important” activities just to exercise. This is something that has only affected me since I had kids, because before I used to [...]

I stepped on the scale this morning and was very thrilled to see that I have finally dipped below 200 . . . to 199 lbs! Yay! Progress is always good and I´ve been bouncing around from 200-210 for a month now, so 199 is just fine by me!

Leafy green veggies are supposed to be super good for you, right? Lots of iron, vitamins, minerals, etc. So, over the past week, I´ve been really trying hard to incorporate more green into our diet. My partner found some chard at the market the other day, so I looked it up online and ended up [...]
