Comfort Food

What is it about the winter that makes me want all kinds of food that I haven't even thought about in a LONG time? I want toast smuthered with peanut butter, a buttery grilled cheese with a big bowl of tomato soup, mashed potatoes with loads of gravy, don't forget the mac & cheese. I don't even like mac & cheese!!

Seems the winter brings with it cravings for comfort food that I have not longed for in a long time. Forget the ice cream, lemonade, fresh salads and fresh fruits… Continue

A Year of Blogging

Happy 4th of July! It was exactly one year ago on the 4th that I started my personal blog TB's Journey. I never would have thought that I'd still be writing in it after a year, but it's really become an integral part of my weight loss journey. I've met so many people through my blog and through other sites such as this one: Iowa Avenue. I look forward to another great year of maintaining a healthy weight.

Thanks for the great site and… Continue

Lifetime Status and a Weight Loss Win

I reached lifetime status at my Weight Watcher meeting last night. Just thought I'd share my favorite "after" picture. It's Me (TB) and my son (AB). Those pants were size 44's and I used to fill them out to the fullest. Now, I'm fitting comfortably into size 32's.

I also weighed in at my "At Work Weight Loss Challenge" today. We threw $10 into a pot and had to set a goal of at least 5 pounds. I set 6 pounds as a goal and easily lost 9… Continue

Con Air

I love my elliptical. When I exercise early in the morning, I usually watch the local news. When I exercise on the weekends however, I usually wait till the afternoon so I can actually sleep in a little. By afternoon, I don't get much on the TV. I only have the TV hooked up to an antenna and get the few local stations. I do have a VCR hooked up to it. Unfortunately, I have very few options for tapes. I use it to tape "The Biggest Loser" and watch that weekly. Yesterday, I put in a tape of Con… Continue

At 7:42pm on February 21, 2008, Lisa Newton said…: LOL..........TB, at one time, I had four children, all under the age of 7. I know a morning routine is hard, but I got up early and at least was able to do a few things before the kids got up. (Well, I couldn't do that as often when a baby wasn't sleeping through the night.)
