I’m getting used to a new early morning schedule, and it’s actually not as bad as I thought it would be. As long as I get at least 7.5 hours of sleep, I’m good to go! Did you know the average adult needs 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night? [Image Source: http://www.principalspage.com/] In [...]

Yesterday, November 24, 2009, Carter and I were married for one-and-a-half years. What a beautiful coincidence that our anniversary-and-a-half falls so close to Thanksgiving. I am so incredibly thankful for my husband, his unconditional love and the happiness I’m overcome with each and every day because of him. I am a generally happy person, and [...]

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Carter and I didn’t get to go to the zoo or the festival that we hoped to attend due to the misty weather, but we thoroughly enjoyed cooking dinner, baking banana pecan muffins, and giving out candy to all the adorable children! I also savored a Reese’s [...]

Thank you all SO MUCH for your comments and compliments! I’m glad the skinny jeans were a hit — I was nervous about getting them, but I’m glad I took the risk. You know what I love best about blogging? I love “connecting” with the readers and other bloggers. Every day, I look forward reading [...]

It happened to me. The thing that we all worry about at some point in our lives. The thing that we can’t do anything to avoid or change. The thing that, in this economy, has been occurring way too often. I lost my job. Due to Pennsylvania’s proposed 50 percent budget cut to tobacco cessation [...]

Good morning! Aren’t Sunday mornings the best? Maybe not quite as great as Saturday mornings, but I love being able to sleep in with my husband and make pancakes or waffles, which is a weekend tradition for us. This morning, we made blueberry waffles using Fiber One Buttermilk Pancake Mix. Though we didn’t like the [...]

Yesterday was a pretty momentous occasion for yours truly. I had my last scheduled appointment with my Registered Dietitian.

The title of this post is surprising, huh? In today’s culture, dieting, counting calories, tracking carb and fat grams, and staying up-to-date with the latest celebrity diet trends are all behaviors that are considered “normal” and even “fashionable.” So why would anyone want to STOP counting calories?

A friend of mine recently sent me an e-mail and wrote: “I usually am happy with my body/looks but when I miss many workouts or eat bad a few days in a row, those feelings change. I’m still struggling with gaining better willpower as I think about sweets on a daily basis, an addiction I [...]
