Do you want to lose weight? I know I sure do but even though I’m constantly saying it, I’m not always doing something about it. I seem to be something of a “bag of hot air.” Wishing and hoping don’t make it happen though.

I used to be a devoted member of Weight Watchers, until yesterday when I canceled my monthly pass. Right now I am so mad at a couple people working for the company- specifically the people who decided that my leader was no longer good enough for Weight Watchers.

Starbucks has a new line of packaged snacks. I noticed them right away when I walked into Starbucks this morning (my nose always gravitates right towards the food). Among them are packages of cookies from Dr. Lucy’s; sugar, chocolate chip, and cinnamon thins.
I chose the cinnamon thins to try after dutifully [...]

I tried a fresco style crunchy taco at Taco Bell yesterday, but just one. I wasn’t holding out much hope that it was going to taste good because what’s a taco without cheese? (which is why I only ordered one instead of two or three.) But I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good (either that or I was really hungry). I actually didn’t miss the cheese at all and I’m from Wisconsin where we pretty much think everything is better with cheese!

It’s January, I’m psyched to eat healthy, and that includes eating more fresh fruit. Broiled grapefruit is easy and quick to make; and by my calculations a half of broiled grapefruit is just 1 Weight Watcher point.

Are you craving something sweet but are trying to avoid inhaling a thousand calories worth of chocolate and derailing your weight loss? Try having a Tootsie Roll Pop instead.

My son is a chef and he’s fond of saying “everything is better with bacon.” I almost agree but edit that statement to say that “ALMOST everything tastes better with bacon” because I tried chocolate covered bacon at the State Fair this year and was not a fan. But, after starting Weight Watchers I cut way back on my bacon consumption despite my Weight Watchers leader stating on several occasions that 1 slice of regular bacon is only 1 point. Then I discovered Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon. According to the nutrition information on the nearly empty package I currently have, 6 slices of the delicious stuff is 3 Weight Watchers points. That’s bacon heaven to me!

Several months ago I had the brilliant idea to start this blog in the hope that writing about my weight loss journey would help me be successful. That “brilliant” idea hasn’t turned out very well so far and I feel like I’m at a crossroads.

I love my Weight Watchers leader. She makes meetings a ton of fun.
This week we played what she called “Pass the Pumpkin.” It wasn’t just any old pumpkin. It was one that weighed exactly 5 pounds and she knew this because she took her Weight Watchers scale to the farmers [...]

Sunday afternoon my daughter and her boyfriend showed up at our house with slices of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake as a treat for my husband and myself. It was a very sweet gesture and I thoroughly enjoyed it until I realized 1 stinking slice of the stuff contains over 1,300 calories and costs 36 Weight Watchers points!
