No, it’s not diet pills. Hell no. I’ve tried them all. They don’t work. When I was 19 and 5 pounds overweight (seriously, what was wrong with me for caring about 5 pounds?) I took those horrible things, pills full of caffeine and ephedra (before it was banned) and various other chemicals, which made me [...]

So, late this past Friday night I received a notification of a comment on this post from back in January. You can go read the comment or I’ll explain here.

You know as well as I do that one workout, heck, even one week, in the gym, does not make for a fit body. A fit body comes from a lot of work and dedication. I had to learn that the hard way. Likewise the same can be said about food. One cupcake does not [...]

Last week I celebrated an AMAZING accomplishment. I stepped on the scale and finally crossed 50 pounds off of my to-lose list.

Back in August when I went to BlogHer12 in New York City, I attended the most fabulous of parties… the Slow Churned Social Luxe Lounge.

If there’s one thing I love more than exercise, it’s food…and if there’s one thing I love more than food, it’s wine. So, when The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board emailed me to ask if I’d like to go to Wine & Dine Wisconsin, I almost screamed with excitement. Actually, I am pretty sure I did [...]
