It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
Well I had an interesting day yesterday… I had to drop everything and run to the doctors because my leg was swollen up like the Good Year blimp and I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk! Turns out I have a horrid case of Cellulitis. Despite it’s name, it does NOT have anything…
Okay! Praise the Lord! I got back down to 123.2 lbs today! Day 7 – 9 was a bit of a struggle, but the extra situps, 10 minutes on the stair stepper and a little bit of jogging during my required 20 minute daily walk seemed to have helped push me through the plateau. Here’s…
So I wonder to myself…. Can I drink too much water??? I had 2.5 quarts yesterday on a PP day and I’m still 124 lbs, although I don’t feel bloated… Yet… My period is due on Friday. (Sorry for the TMI ladies!) I usually gain 3-5 pounds the week leading up to my period. Perhaps…
I lost 4 pounds in 5 days. I’m on Day 7 of my diet now and the “rapid weight loss” is starting to slow down. We all know those last 10 pounds hang on for dear life… *sigh* Attack Phase: Day 1 – I weighed in at 127.8 lbs (12 lbs over goal weight) Day…
I started this diet on Tuesday and here it is Saturday already. I’ve lost 4 pounds in 5 days which feels like an unbelievable achievement to me. Attack Phase: Day 1 – I weighed in at 127.8 lbs (12 lbs over goal weight) Day 2 – I weighed in at 125.0 lbs (10 lbs over…
Before I started this diet, I weighed between 128lbs and 132lbs for at least the last 5 months. I would drop a pound, feel great, then gain it back. It was very discouraging… Day 1 – I weighed 127.8 lbs (12+ pounds over my goal weight) Day 2 – I weighed 125.0 lbs Day 3…
Weighed in at 124.2 this morning. I’ve lost over 3 pounds in 3 days! Seriously, this diet is amazing. What an encouraging way to kick start a diet and get you motivated, huh?! It’s still hard to have to prepare food for the other 3 members of my family that are very much NOT participating…
Okay, I’m kinda loving this diet… Not because I love the feeling of craving carbs, but I love the results so far and it’s giving me a lot of encouragement to go further. I figure it won’t be this easy and this successful in the weeks ahead, but I love that this kick-start is actually…
Today I started the Dukan Diet in hopes of losing the last 15 pounds from my second pregnancy. When I was offered the opportunity to review the Dukan Diet, I was skeptical and a little hesitant. “Another diet?!” I thought to myself… I didn’t know if I was ready to take on such an extensive,…

It’s January, and time for us all to re-evaluate how we are doing, esp. in taking care of our bodies… and there is no better way to start the year off right, then by cleansing and fasting to “reset” ourselves. Those of you who are timid to try a juice fast and don’t think you…
It seems like yesterday that my daughter was going to nursery school and beginning her academic career. Next weekend she takes her SATs and then gets ready to plan her first college tour in March. As she gets ready to apply to college, there are so many questions that we both have about the process…
Once the leftovers from the turkey are gone, two significant thoughts always take root in my mind: “How am I going to un-do the caloric downfall that I just experienced” and “What am I going to get those hard to shop for people for Christmas?” Fortunately this year, answers for both those questions can be…
Ok, we know…it’s a sensitive subject…for EVERYONE …(except maybe the Kardashians…) but the truth is, it’s likely that the spark hasn’t sparked much since you had children, and the responsibilities of just keeping your head above water in this economy probably exhaust you before you’ve had time to think about getting frisky. But that doesn’t…
