It’s officially halfway through the first month of 2012 and I, for one, am still trying to lose the holiday weight. I’m sure many can resonate with my present dilemma (right, right??? haha!). To be fair, I really did not put on THAT much weight, perhaps about 5-7 pounds only, mainly because even throughout the [...]

Over a year ago I started on what I deemed “Project Prettify Me”. The goal of the project: to stop looking all frumpy and ugly. It was not just the weight issue that I had to contend with, but really more of not caring for myself too much and so I let myself go and [...]

Once more I find myself trying to get back on track from my little slip. I’m not there yet, but slowly I’m inching my way back. Can’t help but wish I was a superhero and all I’d need to do is dig into my little leather briefcase, pull out my costume and viola, I could [...]

That’s all I can say I guess. This past month, well, three for that matter, has been a roller coaster ride. I’ve had really, really bad days filled with emo eating and nothingness, but there were other days that were quite good and I was able to keep those feelings at bay. I guess one [...]

This weekend I vegged in front of the television (or my computer, should I say hehe) watching the 16th Cycle of America’s Next Top Model and in one of the episodes, Tyra did a teach about making the right choices about food.

Several weeks ago I had dinner out with some of my friends and they were talking about some lipo cavitation/lipo dissolving procedure they had read about from one of those group coupon sites.  They said it was something like RF treatments that used heat and radio frequencies to melt fat cells. I have always maintained [...]

Speaking of challenges in weight loss…I can feel one coming right up…the Starbucks red cups! Yiiiiikes!!!! In less than a month I’m sure Starbucks will be revealing it’s next planner promo and along with it, the return of my all-time favorite drink from Starbucks…the Peppermint Mocha Frap! While filling up that reward card for the [...]

I guess I celebrated a little too early Wasn’t it just the end of September that I was celebrating my little victory of having broken through the plateau of my weight loss? But things happened and suffice it to say that the emotional eater in me resurfaced and well, I have to say it shows [...]

I finished my 30 day no-rice challenge last Tuesday and I have decided to take on the My Spa Diet challenge starting this Saturday. I am starting off with the results of the inner body scan done during the media briefing of the site two weeks ago. At present I am classified as Overfat and [...]
