Ah, the effects of SB are varied, aren’t they? I have good news. This morning is the start of Day Six and I have lost 5 pounds since Day One. Hooray! The not-so-good news? I’m oddly emotional today and I was a bit last night. I’m not hormonal, I’m not over tired, I have no [...]

Today makes Day Five. Good news and bad news as we come to the close of the work week. Good news is that I’ve lost about 2 pounds so far. The bad news is that I’ve gone up a touch since yesterday. Yes, I know that this is normal. It’s still frustrating.
More good news is [...]

Believe it or not, a week later and I’m still South Beaching. That’s right. I have not caved and I am still fighting the good, if tricky, fight against carbs, sugar, and my too-tight clothing.
I must confess, I did cheat a bit on Sunday. On our nation’s birthday, I withstood cake, cup cakes, potato chips, [...]

Believe it or not, due to explanations that defy all logic or personal history, I’m back on the South Beach Diet. But here’s the thing: I think this could be reminiscent of that first go round. Remember? No, of course you don’t. I didn’t have a blog then.

I don’t often post guest blogs, but this one was so beautiful, I couldn’t resist.

I love gifts. I do. I love wrapping them and giving them. I love opening them. I love watching other people open them.
Know what else I love? Cheese. That’s right; I said cheese. I love me some ricotta, some cheddar, a little colby; it’s all delicious. Well, except for bleu, but that’s another post. (Sorry, [...]

Dinner date with a 60+ year old man on Friday and a Mighty Kid’s Meal from McDonald’s on Monday. Makes perfect sense.
I got the Amelia Earhart toy!

This weekend I went to lunch with a friend of mine.  Despite being late April, the weather was cold and a bit gloomy.  It was the perfect day for a grilled cheese sandwich. 
I perused the menu, my eyes hoping to spot the words Grilled Cheese written in a bold, proud script.  I found them, but [...]

These days I’m watching my calories, I’m exercising like a crazy person, and I’ve been really good about drinking water and limiting pop.  That said, I just got hit with a ridiculously strong craving for a cheeseburger.  We’re talking a big, juicy, greasy, dribbles down your fingers, cheeseburger. 
Excuse me, I think I may have just drooled [...]

I cannot believe I let it get to April 8th without a single post.  I started one about April Fools’ Day.  (Yes, it is Fools’ Day, not Fool’s Day.  I looked it up.)
I started one about the recent rash of dieting attempts but I was distracted by a pile of bacon cheese fries.
Started another one [...]
