WAHM Weight Loss

I titled this post Reality Check because it is time for a reality check with my weight loss efforts, eating right and exercise. Basically, I haven’t been keeping track of what I’ve eaten nor have I exercised over the last week or so. I could use the excuse that it’s because my sister is here [...]

I think I’ve figured out why my weight has plateaued. I haven’t been eating enough calories. That’s right. According to my current weight, height and age, I should be eating 1200 to 1400 calories a day in order to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. I’ve been eating only 700 to 1000 a day. [...]

Today’s post is a guest post from Lisa Thompson who writes for Plus Size Survival. ________________________________________________________ I can’t afford to eat healthy.  I don’t have time to go to the gym. My family needs me. I need to get my sleep.  I can’t afford a gym and even if I could, I’m too big and [...]

Are you getting enough minerals in your diet? If not, I highly recommend you do, especially if you’re on any type of diet. The foods you eat usually don’t contain enough of the daily recommended vitamins and minerals you need for a truly healthy body. But which mineral supplements should you take, if any, and [...]

No activity to report today Tishia and I had every intention of walking or doing a workout video together today, but other things got in the way. We are both registered to “compete” in our first ever 5K race on Saturday…hehe yeah right. I’m so nervous. Not that I won’t be able to finish, because [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on why sugar is so bad for you. There are so many reasons beyond the fact that it makes you gain weight, I think it’s very important to look at. Whether you’re doing Weight Watchers, Jillian Michaels, South Beach or any other diet program, you seriously need [...]

Since I started this whole low sugar thing, I think it’s a good idea to keep track of what I’m eating on a daily basis. Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal – 1 sugar 1 tsp. brown sugar – 4 sugars 1 tsp cinnamon – 0 sugar coffee, black – 0 sugar Total – 5 sugars Lunch [...]

So, I’ve been enjoying some really great foods since I started my new so called low carb eating plan. I recently did some research to make sure I am actually staying within my 40 carb/day limit and 15 grams of sugar/day limit. To my surprise I am not. Ha. Here’s what I’ve been eating, pretty [...]

The past three weeks I’ve done what I call a cleansing day the day before my weigh in. The first week I did it was because I hate horribly the first 4 days of the week due to being out of town at a Leadership Conference. I ended up losing less than a pound that [...]

I’ve never been a huge fan of vegetables. Oh, I’ll eat them as a side dish with dinner, or enjoy an occasional salad, and I’ll even have raw veggies with some dip at a party or other social function. But, I’ve never craved vegetables, nor have chosen them as a main course for dinner. I [...]
