It can be a real problem...
Especially when you work so hard all week in the office AND at the gym and you want a little reward.
But the bottle is no good for me and I need to try to cut down on the big A.
I tried cutting out beer because of the carbs. And I was pretty successful with that.
BUT the bacardi commercials showing that diet coke and bacardi are only a few calories really got me.
The big thing is that no matter how many calories are in alcohol, it c...

It Happened. I finally made it part of my routine. I'm finally a gym bum.
That's right, I'm a gym bum. I can barely believe it myself.
My biggest problem when it comes to losing weight is being a consistent gym-goer. Sure, I had my week-long spurts where I would go to the gym about three days in the week. But, then, the week later, I would go maybe once. And thus, the infinite cycle of gaining and losing the same stupid two pounds went on and on and on....<...

It's pretty hard to get away from things you love to eat. For me, it's sweets...especially chocolate. What can I say? I'm a true woman who loves to indulge.
People tend to say 'just stop eating it' but, it's not that easy. It's not like I'm a bad eater and it's not like all I do is sit around and eat chocolate bars all day but, It's hard to say no all the time!
For example, yesterday after a long 12 hour shift (and fabulous eating may I add) I went home and took a nap. W...
