And speaking of trends, doesn't it look great all neatly graphed out like this?You see, I'm all about the recognition and … [Read more...]
2 outta 3 ain’t bad
After my Low post last week I thought I it was time to step back and take an inventory of the good things. There are plenty. Sometimes they get lost behind dark clouds that eventually stream out of the way and the good can be seen once again. One thing I really have to appreciate is … [Read more...]
Intentions
I never make resolutions...instead I have intentions. Y'know...things I intend to do.This year I only have 3 that are important - #2 being the most important. 1) I intend to FINALLY lose those last 7 pounds that have been stuck to me since my last pregnancy. It's … [Read more...]
On My Plate
Recently I wrote about my diagnosis of an auto immune disease that leaves some of my joints swollen and painful. I have been frustrated with traditional medicine and its limited results so I decided to do some more research on my own. What I found out was incredibly alarming but also gave me hope … [Read more...]
Devil in the Diet?
The biggest part of Cuyler's "plan" is his diet. He's gluten and casein free, as I've posted about previously. We started him on it when he was 2 and saw changes from day 1.At that point he ate pretty much anything I made him. Stir-fry's, rice dishes, meatballs, pasta, lasagna, chicken … [Read more...]

Yo-Yo, See-Saw…Call it What You Like: I’m Along for the Ride
If you've been following my progress for a while, you'll know that I originally lost fifty pounds. Then I sort of evened out, and found a good groove. Then, slowly, more and more came creeping back. Until I was back up to 188 and really needed to drop a good twenty pounds. And so I re-joined Weight … [Read more...]
Gluten Free
We all want our lives to be full of sweet things. Finding out that we need to follow a restricted diet is often a very crushing thing, the knowledge that so many of the pleasurable things in life are now lost to us. My Baby, as you probably know, has Celiac Disease and has to follow a strict … [Read more...]
My Secret Diet Sabotage
This whole week I've felt like [insert your favourite scatological term here]. And I KNOW it's because you are what you eat and I've been eating crap. And I could so easily have switched back over to the Isagenix program - honestly, it doesn't get much easier than turning on the blender to make a … [Read more...]
