isn't it best to do it with too much salad? Last night I went grocery shopping and I was craving a salad. Not just any old salad. One with Romaine Lettuce, Mandarian Oranges, Pecans, Dried Cranberries, Crumbled Blue Cheese, and Raspberry Vinegrette Dressing. I spent too much time at the store and by the time I got home I was starving! I made a good sized salad, being sure to measure everything, and didn't add up the points until afterwards. Let me just say, I'm glad I chose the Reduced Fat Blue… Continue

GIRL! I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that we're having another girl! The doctor says everything is just right as far as measurments and heart rate and all the other stuff they were checking for. I've been concerned about this pregnancy because I'm overweight, but it's caused me to be a lot more careful about what I eat and how much. It's turning out to be healthy pregnancy with little to no weightgain so far and a healthy baby girl who is growing and developing just fine! Even my b… Continue

18 weeks pregnant today! This morning I weighed 155, which is one pound more than I've weighed the past 4 or 5 weeks, but still 10 pounds less than I was at the start of my pregnancy.

I've noticed a pattern developing over the past 3 or 4 weeks that I'm not sure how to deal with and I'd like advice from anyone who wants t… Continue

I had dinner last night at around 7ish. No dessert and no snacks before bed. I woke up at around 1:15am and had to pee. My mom always told me that if you wake up in the middle of the night and have to use the bathroom you may as well get up and go because you won't be able to get back to slepp until you do. So, I got up and went. I laid back down hoping I could go back to sleep, but I then realized that I was hungry - so hungry that I couldn't sleep. It had been several hours since dinner, but I… Continue

Last night I attended a party that was serving only coffee, tea and desserts. I went there hoping to see some sort of fruit salad or something on the healthier side so I could partake in the festivities and not feel left out. There was no such dessert. Last weekend I asked if I needed to bring anything to this party and I was told no, but maybe next time I should anyway so there will be a healthier option. I know of at least one other lady there who is doing WW, so I'm sure she would have apprec… Continue
