It’s soup season!! I love when it’s getting cooler because I love love LOVE soups, stews and chili. However, it’s super challenging to eat soup on a diet. Why? First, it’s hard to log. The more ingredients you have in a recipe, the harder it is to manage calories. It’s easy to weigh 4 ounces of …
We all do it. We blow our diet over the holiday weekend. We really didn’t eat poorly, but we ate more than usual. Oh, and Steve DID get me an easter basket with a few treats I had to try. LOL Like many holidays, our Easter was centered on a nice big dinner with family …
If you’re like me, you’ve stuffed your face since Thanksgiving! Ok, I didn’t really do that bad on Thanksgiving, but I have been “off” my diet for too long! You know what they say! “It’s all fun and games until your jeans don’t fit!” hahahahaha Seriously, my diet vacation all started with the hurricanes that …

Tasting our favorite treat is a craving that is hard to resist. However, most of us crave a fit healthy body too. Which one of those cravings …
We all do it. We blow our diet over the holiday weekend. We not only eat poorly, but we just eat too much. After just a few days, we feel fat and miserable; and we feel 10lbs heavier than we really are. Believe me! I am one of those peeps! I didn’t just have a 3-day …
Who is willing to step up the diet and commit to doing NO CARBS after 5:00PM (or after last workout)!? Of course, when I mean NO CARBS, I really mean LOW CARBS. Even green vegetables are carbs, but we can make better lower calorie selections at night. Why should we eat lower carbs at night? Food …
OK, so you’ve done great all week and now you face the scariest thing since SAW – The weekend!! Do you hear the horror music in the background? OMG! For real, right?! What is UP with the weekends for dieters?!!! Looking at this pic I found of the movie makes me think that is what …
