Earlier this morning on Twitter I saw this question:  What are your 3 words for 2010?
It made me think and this was what I came up with:

Floss.  As in teeth.  I am really bad about flossing.  No matter how often I do it my gums bleed.
Moderation.  As in everything though work and food are my [...]

Was it an old Special K commerical that touted “you can’t pinch an inch on me”?  (I am totally giving away my age with that memory.)
As I sit here, 3 days after Thanksgiving, I know that I’ve more than an inch that can be grabbed, pulled and shaped.  I don’t like it, yet I don’t [...]

Snacking is my downfall.  Especially if I’m tired or bored.  While at the Type A Mom Conference I had the chance to try some Weight Watchers frozen treats: fudge bars, candy bar ice cream bar and ice cream sandwich.  No, I didn’t try them all right there…  I had the candy bar ice cream bar, [...]

I’m kind of picky when it comes to yogurt.  I don’t like it lumpy and I’m not fond of fruit chunks.  Yes, I like my yogurt dull.  So when I had the opportunity to try the new Fiber One®yogurt by Yoplait® I hesitated to try it.  Fiber to me = dry and tasteless.
I did finally [...]

I haven’t mentioned my weight the past few weeks because it hasn’t done anything.  Seriously…  It doesn’t matter what I do, I stay steady.  Since I knew we would be enjoying the sights as well as the food in St. Louis this past weekend I stopped worrying too much.  But I also know that in [...]

Most days I’m pretty low maintenance and leave the house only to drop off/ pick up the girls from school or run to the grocery store.  On those days I don’t need, or want, a “full face” of makeup.  I’m honestly not fond of heavy foundation and have yet to find one I truly love.  [...]

It seems I just haven’t been able to find the right balance of SAHM and WAHM. I really had a problem sticking to the schedule I made for the summer and looking in to fall I knew changes had to be made. Especially since I am getting busier. Yep, after 5 years [...]

The Iowa State Fair is known for lots of things: food on a stick, all kinds of farm animals, foods not on a stick and lots of free fun.  For the $10 admission you can do a lot without spending another dime (food not included).
New to the free-fun line up this year is the Milk [...]

I tried the Olay 14 Day Skin Rehabilitation.  So, it’s been 2 weeks- let’s take a look at my skin.
The wrinkles around my eyes seem not-so-wrinkly.  Other than that I don’t notice any lightening of my discolorations.  What I will say, though, is that my skin is much softer, the dry patches are gone and [...]

OK, I’m up a pound this week.  Not too surprising as I am bloated and waiting for my every 24 day wee of joy.
One of my bloggy friends has suggested I look into taking my body to ketosis, cutting out caffeine and a few other things.  I’m seriously considering it.  Of course that may be [...]

But, really, no change.  A few ounces here and there but still 167.
Now, I have to be honest; I’m not as good as I should be.  During the week I watch my intake but on the weekends I don’t.  I don’t go overboard on the weekends, but I eat things I don’t allow myself during [...]

Try seasoned rice vinegar!
I’m always looking for ways to add flavor but not calories to my food- especially some of it can be a bit bland when I’m dieting watching what I’m eating.
One thing I’ve found, that I really enjoy using, is seasoned rice vinegar. The NAKANO All Natural seasoned rice vinegar comes in [...]

Last week I picked up an item at Target that says it is “a total anti-aging skin immersion that detoxifies, recovers, and revives skin’s appearance in just 14 days”.  Apparently it “counteracts past skin stresses to diminish discoloration PLUS wrinkles in just 14 days”.
I’m kind of a product junkie so I thought I’d give it [...]

For the second week my weight is holding steady at 167.  I suppose that’s good since we spent the weekend in Kansas City and ate some really yummy food.
Of course my weight might be moving in the downward direction if I had been exercising at all in the past couple weeks.  But I haven’t.  I [...]

There was great rejoicing in my house the other day when a box arrived at the door.  OK, there is always great rejoicing when we get packages…  No, there isn’t much excitement in my house but more than that, packages mean stuff.  And who doesn’t like to get stuff?!?
And this package was especially intriguing as [...]
