Well, I weighed in this morning, and I am up a pound. OK, OK. What went wrong? Well, on Wednesday ate pizza for lunch—not one slice but two. I ate it even though I remembered the Weight Watchers advice I’d heard when I was doing that program to lose weight—you know what you eat can [...]

What does it take to motivate you?

Welcome to September. My birthday month. This morning I had a hard time getting out of bed, but then I remembered Ann and our weight loss challenge. How could I just lay here while she was losing weight? Didn’t seem right. Anyway, it motivated me to get up and get to the gym. Speaking of [...]

Life Is for Living

Fear. That one little word has kept me from meeting goals, finding happiness, and living life the way I want to live it. Even when I think I’m winning, fear chases me down and allows all of the self doubt to creep into my life. And then I think I can’t do it. I’m a [...]

Sunday, September 12th, 2010
