(That’s where flashes of insight actually happen in the brain, in case you wanted to know.)
The key phrase for [...]

Having just confessed my biggest diet danger zone a few days ago — my car — I was appalled to see an email from one of my team members regarding a microwave for the car. (I was appalled to see the microwave, not his email.)

Hmm. If you look at the tag cloud on the right side of my blog, you’ll see that the two most used tags are commitment and weight loss. Hmm. In the past, I’ve focused my energies on any number of the other tags. Guess there’s a message for me here today.
Later, more on my Flash [...]

My weekdays and weekends are like night and day health-wise, attitude-wise, energy-wise etc. Why are they such a challenge?!
I used to think it was because being at work was easier to manage than being at home as far as structure, temptation, whatever. Well, that’s not it, because I worked at home last week and did [...]

Well, if we are trapped and starving in a blizzard… there’s a 24% I’d eat ya. Maybe it’s so low because I tend toward vegetarianism. Or maybe because I couldn’t catch you (yet).
24%
I guess you guys are pretty lucky. Because, quite frankly, I’ll do anything to avoid being hungry. I wouldn’t have given you a [...]

I’m a morning person. Normally. But today is one of those I-stayed-up-all-night-watching-the-Olympics-so-I-want-to-sleep mornings. But my kids did sleep and are now rarin’ to go. So… here we go
I also woke up famished. Hungry and tired is not a good combination for me. I started the day with an egg roll.

I am feeling really good today — my clothes are looser and I have more energy.
And, to be honest, I haven’t had to do much. I’ve employed two primary strategies to exercise more and eat less:
Schedule exercise and be committed to it (and have a Plan B in case life happens and I need to [...]
