I love a snow day. You’d think I was a kid. There’s just something about it. Even on regular days off — holidays and weekends — I keep on working. Checking email, writing reports, touching base with co-workers. But snow days are different. I sleep in, watch bad daytime tv, declutter. All kinds of non-work [...]

Just another Sunday. Went to a fun basketball game last night and did a little grocery shopping. There were some fabulous low/moderate-carb finds at the local Harris Teeters:

I am really becoming my own worst enemy. I am hitting my goals but then I fall into periods of self-doubt and self-sabotage. I’m not sure what it is but how can I be smaller but feel bigger? I have to get my head right.

I have a little less than 30 pounds to go. While it’s been getting easier to make better choices, today I find myself struggling with self-control and spacing out eating. It’s strange — I should be happy and content today since my home scale finally went under 160. I was under [...]
