Our very first major purchase after we married in August of 1985, was a Mac 512k (aka the “Fat Mac”). We only bought it under the condition that for every penny Sam spent on computer related paraphernalia, I got a matching fund for clothing. Soon, I became...

Did the workout. Ate the food almost perfectly. OK, the cheerios with cottage cheese just sounded revolting, so I ate cheerios with milk. Milk has protein, right? It's kind of in the cheese family, right? I'll try the real thing tomorrow, but I was pretty spot on....

Just looking at the exercise for Monday was another killer. But since it was a circuit workout (my favorite and the quickest) and I could “legally” drop down to eight reps, it wasn't so bad. Since I'd already done my run at the hotel, it was all good. Have...

Had a bit of a celebration yesterday. Ate sugar-free chocolates from Sam. Did not eat roses. Will not go into detail about form of exercise. Did end our hotel stay with a good run around some gorgeous gardens.

You were warned I'd be whining all week long. I will not disappoint. Dinner time came on the fourth day this week and I just could not face that egg white/coleslaw/mushroom mash. My three youngest kids were about to die of starvation. They'd rather go to bed without...

There it was. In black and white. Three sets of plank, 90 seconds each. You have got to be kidding. Considering the fact that the 45-second plank nearly does me in every day—and each one has to be done in two to three segments with rests in between—my heart was filled...

Already I can tell you that it's going to be a week of complaining for me. There is a ton going on and I'm stressed. School starts way too soon, I am leaving for a 4-day long education program in just over a week (do not ask me how I'm going to follow the plan in a...

The other day I got an email that surprised me even more than it will surprise you. And I know it will. It's official now. Fun times!
