100 Pounds Gone – Weekly Weigh In

Weight Watchers 100 pound loss

Happy Halloween!  Today is a day where many Americans dress up, walk around to get tons of candy and then sit at home eating that candy for many, many days.  Halloween is not a very healthy holiday! This Halloween is monumental in my life.  I will forever remember Halloween 2011 as the day I hit [...]

Sweaty Bands – Review

Large Sweaty Band

Okay Ladies (Sorry men, this one might or might not be for you!), how many of you hate those wisps of hair that flop around or get in your face when your hair is in a ponytail?  If you are like me, these are one of those “little things” that make working out even less [...]

Halloween is Scary…and It’s Coming!

Wear a spider ring as an anchor!

Halloween is coming up. It is certainly a scary time of year in more ways than one.

This picture is just too funny!  Photo from Shawncornally.com

Kicking and Screaming!  That is how I went to Weight Watchers tonight.  On the way there, I felt like a little kid going to something he/she doesn’t want to go to.  I was begging not to have to go and I heard myself say, “You have to.  You have made a commitment to yourself and you are [...]

Putting a Band-Aid on a Gaping Wound

This is a 16 point plus muffin from Dunkin' Donuts...oh my!

I should have known I was going to have a rough morning when I woke up with a really bad sore throat. I just figured it was the cool weather and sleeping with the windows open. I should have known this was just a clue of how bad my morning would really be. After getting [...]

Fiber One Brownies – Review

Mmmm...brownies!

If you are like me, you need something sweet every now and then.  For me, it is at lunchtime.  I know, I’m weird because it isn’t after dinner.  Weird is OK.  Anyway, back to the topic of the day. Every day at lunch I need something sweet that is also low in Weight Watchers Points [...]
