Here are a few killer weight loss resources, as promised! Yesterday I shared the secret to my weight loss success and what I’ve been up to since my last post at The Fat Girl’s Guide to Life. It had been awhile, if you remember. But yesterday I shared how wonderful the Paleo diet has been [...]

Thank You for Your Support

It’s been awhile. I’m almost ashamed to say that I’m alive and well. Thank you to everyone who emailed and commented while I was away. I’m still working on writing back to each and every person who sent me their encouragement and support during my unofficial hiatus. And while I’m on the topic of my hiatus, [...]

If At First You Don’t Succeed, Spit It Out And Try Again

Mandy — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 03:34:08 +0000

I ate candy just now. I’ve been working hard to stick to my No Sugar Until Christmas Eve goal. I have two whole days of sugar abstinence under my belt. Let’s see if I can make it three days this time! Still, I feel bad that I didn’t make it longer without succumbing to the [...]

[blockquote align="left"]I can resist everything except temptation. (Oscar Wilde)[/blockquote]I love Oscar Wilde, but if he were here today, I’d kick him in the shin. Why? Because I’m here to prove him wrong this month as I resist every temptation! So eat that, Mr. Wilde…unless it has sugar in it. Temptation lurks everywhere. I chose the best [...]

I’m Sugar-Free, But I’m Still Sweet!

Sometimes the sugar fit comes over me like a madness. I know how dramatic that sounds. So when I say I can’t retract the statement because it’s totally and 100% true, you’ll appreciate my meaning. Today is day #6 of my sugar-free month. Sadly, I lost the post where I outlined the rules. So let me [...]

Healthy, Hearty, 3-Bean Chili

Mandy — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 01:19:24 +0000

This is the best chili I’ve ever tasted! It’s flavorful. It’s filling. It freezes well and defrosts even easier. I discovered this three-bean chili recipe last year and made it a thousand times before I finally got tired of it. It’s wonderful in Winter months when hot and hearty is all that satisfies. It’ll fill you [...]

December Goals: The Big One

Mandy — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:24:20 +0000

I finally beat those pesky diet goals last month. I’m beaming with pride. Those were some tough goals to crack! I ate sandwiches at home most days of the month. I tried two new healthy recipes. I planned easy as pie recipes with less than 600 calories. And I kept up with my exercise goals. [...]

November Wrap Up: Progress and Goals

Mandy — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:00:37 +0000

November was a month of intense concentration! I focused heavily on food goals since those have proven the toughest for me so far. Exercise continues to be the easy part of this weight loss adventure (not effortless, but not an immovable obstacle either). My diet, on the other hand… Still, I’m proud to say that I met [...]
