I have been gathering the supplies and groceries needed for my diet.  I have enough recipes to go several weeks with meals I actually think both my daughter and I will enjoy (I refuse to cook 2 different meals).  I have bought some extra vitamins to make sure while I’m eating significantly less calories, my body will not suffer, and I’ve ordered appetite suppressants to help with the significant fewer calories I intend to eat (about 500-800 calories a day). I’m excited about the food. It looks yummy. I’m ok with giving up sugar, but I’m going to miss my daily chocolate milk.  I’m going to organize and actually do a meal plan as well so that we know what we are eating every day for 2 weeks. … Read entire article »

So my new  – I can’t focus on anything because of everything going on – habit is to look up various diet pills. It’s actually somewhat entertaining to read the reviews – people either LOVE it or HATE it.  There’s never any middle of the road people, and there’s never any longterm people who took the pills and tell us months and years later if they gained the weight back.  Today I’m reading about an “Extreme” pill called lipo 6 hers black. It’s for people wanting to really pump up their muscle too.  As is typical, there are some MAJOR lovers out there that promise you’ll be toned and awesome in no time.  … Read entire article »

It seems that my spam box (thank you gmail for filtering it) is filled up with a different diet trend every few months.  This time it’s apidexin emails. I’m a big disbeliever, but I always am curious just to see what’s being said out there so I googled does apidexin work just to see what’s out there.  It is a fat burning diet pill I guess from what I can read.  My question for you though is do you notice the cycles of diet emails, sexual health emails, and such.  Or do you even look at your spam?  I check mine in case a real email gets misfiled.  I don’t know much about this current method, but if my email is any judge, it’s a popular method with all the … Read entire article »

to what?  Well the teacher in me says until school is out, but that’s not it.  You see I’ve decided that I must be thinner and more fit by the time school gets out for summer.  Period.  I will allow myself no other option.  Therefore, I am not waiting until New Year’s for a resolution.  I will not turn to weight loss pills. I will do this the hard way – diet and exercise. School gets out next Friday and Saturday I start eating smarter and finding ways to be more physically active. Wish me luck! I need it! … Read entire article »

This has been my thoughts with my sweet tooth lately.  I rarely eat sweets, but here lately I am CRAVING them, and I do mean every day wanting something really sweet.  At this rate I’m going to have to really find some type of fat burners or I’ll be gaining major pounds!  This is so not cool.  This thing  came fast out of nowhere, and it’s also got to go just as fast!  Any tips?  I am annoyed! … Read entire article »

So after losing 8 pounds, I fell off the healthy food, a little exercise track I had started and back into old habits of being exhausted and snacking.  But I jumped back on today and have already completed 32 minutes of WiiFit activities and plan to do my walking video this evening.  I’m determined to avoid pills for weight loss and do this with diet and exercise changes. Wish me luck.. If my Internet will work semi-regularly, I’m going to post regular updates. … Read entire article »
