If I knew then what I know now… I probably wouldn’t have spent over 10 bucks every time I hit up Taco Bell at 2am. If I knew then what I know how, I probably would have been more active growing up. At the very least I would have jumped into more pickup basketball games. If I knew then what I...

It’s funny how a couple of misguided time traveling teenagers learned one of life’s most important lessons at a very young age. Today’s post isn’t so much weight loss oriented as it is lets-try-to-be-good-people oriented. As sappy as this post may come across, I’ve been...

You’re Right! A lot can be learned from that little engine that...

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that I have a clean bill of health. Today is that day and it feels good. How good you ask? Like, tubing down a river on a warm summer afternoon in a man speedo good. I’ve just heard that feels really spectacular… For those of you who...

Abnormal is an interesting word. The range of the word is pretty amazing. Like, I’m sure abnormal was an adjective that people used to describe me in high school. I’ve grown out of it (yeah right), but it probably would have been a good way to depict my quirky, unconventional way of approaching...

Can you believe it? Can you freaking believe it? July 15th, 2009 marked the first day of the rest of my life. The day that I removed all things salty pork from my diet and replaced them with delicious chicken sausage and lots of green stuff. Oh, and I added some fruit too! That was the day that I decided to...

How many times have you started dieting? I know for me it’s been at least a dozen times, probably more. How many times have you been successful? For me you just take the number from the first question and subtract one. That’s pretty simple math even for me. If I have 6 apples and I take away 1...

Does anyone else find it annoying that your kids can teach you so much that it’s ridiculous? I’m constantly eating humble pie (mmm…pie) when I spend time with my boys. Lessons that it seems I should have learned years ago, they teach me over and over again. I get frustrated that I...

I always love the chance to let more people hear about my story. It’s great because it gives people hope. It let’s people know that this whole weight loss thing definitely IS possible! That’s why I was ecstatic reserved, yet pleased when Carmen at Diets In Review gave me just that chance!...
