I'm a Square

Humility is a not a quality that I possess. When I excel at something, I brag about it. Alot. With that in mind, please excuse my paragraph-long weight loss boast. I have lost 60 lbs in 7 months. That’s right. 6-0. And, I want to crow about it to anyone and everyone who will listen-... Read more »

Double Diet

I am not alot of things. I am not a Republican. I am not a fan of soap in bar form, condiments, candy that is not individually wrapped, most celebrity baby names and Sudoku. The list of things I am not is much longer than things I am. One thing I am, without a doubt... Read more »

Truth or Diet

I have always been honest to a fault. If you ask me if you look fat in that dress, well, be prepared to hear YES. I expect the same honesty from my best friends, too. In fact, one of my best girlfriends once told me that I would look better 10lbs thinner, I agreed (although... Read more »

A Mommy's Discontentment

The most magical things in the world to my daughter are her hands. She can study her ten chubby digits for moments that spread into several minutes at a time. She flexes each finger ever so gracefully and then, bunches them all together in tight little fists. She is delighted by her hands. She is... Read more »

A Diet Time Out

Timeouts are usually a bad thing. Just ask any 6 year old kid. For me, I have never been more excited about a timeout in my life. Why? Because my timeout is from dieting. But, this timeout will only last 1 day- I swear! I have been dieting for nearly 12 weeks now, with the... Read more »

3 weeks to make it work

In 21 days, I will no longer be a stay at home mom. I will be back at the station, working 40 hours a week, and officially be a working mother. I am terrified. I am scared that I will not be able to manage being a mother to Sophie, wife and producer. I want... Read more »

My very own Power Sauce

I cannot remember the difference between an isosceles and a scalene triangle but I can vividly remember an episode of The Simpsons wherein Homer goes on a meal bar diet. His meal bars, found at the Kwik-E-Mart are called Power Sauce. Mine, found at Target and other fine retailers (but cheapest at Target) are called... Read more »

Is this how you slim fast?

It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I gave birth to my daughter and I am still living in the my husband’s track pants and various blood drive t-shirts. This past month has been grueling yet absolutely wonderful, as I have spent nearly every moment basking in the joys of motherhood. In my last post, I... Read more »

Midnight Feedings

Before I gave birth to my daughter, I would always check out new moms, looking to see if they had lost their baby weight. If I spotted a mommy who had a 2 year old and was still carrying around an extra 30lbs on her butt, I would silently say a Hail Mary, praying that... Read more »

Forget Dieting and Just Enjoy your Baby!

It has been 10 days since I gave birth to my daughter, Sophia, and I can honestly say that losing the baby weight is NOT my first priority. Yes, I have weighed myself (duh, because every former chubette weighs herself with regularity) and I have lost 21 lbs of the 40 lbs I gained while... Read more »
