The jumble of my brain!!

I continue to learn and work at finding balance in my life.  Nutrition, exercise, relationships, 3 jobs, mom/wife responsibilites, school commitees and more!!

Since becoming a nanny (June 2013) I have much less "me time."  A couple of daylight hours to meal plan, FitClick track, reflect and read are really hard to come by.  When marching band season is in full swing (Aug-Oct) it is even worse!!

When things got really hectic this fall, I slacke

I just read an interview conducted by one of my favorite exercise/nutrition/motivation authors, Tom Venuto.  He interviewed Joel Marion who release a wellness system called "Cheat Your Way Thin."

I found the interview to be so EXCITING (in a "diet nerd" sort of way, lol).  Joel explai...

Yay!  I reached another goal since last month's update.  My Body Fat % is now in the excellent range.  Very cool.

We are planning a trip to see family over Thanksgiving and I know my calories will probably be higher than usual.  I have been keeping fiber and water intake very high and I am preparing mentally for the return to "normal" as soon as we get home.  Last year my ...

Liquid Calories ("Inspired Shakes" might be worth it!)

From the beginning of my journey, one of the first changes I made was to eliminate most (if not all) calories from fluids.  Here is some of my rationale...


.   *  calories in drinks are usually 'empty' (no nutritional value)
.   *  the act of chewing is satisfying
.   *  I tend to gulp when I drink and not savor like I do when I eat solid food

I weigh myself every morning.  This is a good thing for me.  When the number is a little lower than yesterday there is a mini party in my dressing room :).  If it isn't lower I don't go into a major d...
