Dealing with Nighttime Snacking

Posted by kristen

Ever since I started my journey to lose weight & become more healthy, I have always “budgeted points” for an evening snack. More times than not, the snack is/was ice cream.

Molly Monday

Hello! It’s Molly again! Back to share with you thoughts on things that you may not realize you care about.  (see what I did there?)

Week “Nine” Weigh In

Posted by kristen

I will be honest.  I wasn’t sure what to expect when I weighed in on Saturday. I did my best. I dealt my youngest being hit with the stomach flu. I had a rough day eating on Wednesday and shouldn’t have caved in like I did.

Week “Eight” Weigh In

I was hopeful yesterday when I weighed in. I fought hard against the emotional eating monster. I ran and I worked out only to find that I was exactly the same when I weighed in. Hmm. This was one of those times that I had to give myself that pep talk that I have given [...]

Thmolly Thmursday

Posted by kristen

Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
I really did post on Monday.  Really.  I posted it and then I hit “publish” and then my internet went out.  However, apparently the way it really happened was I posted it, my internet went out, and then I hit “publish.”  It didn’t even occur to me until [...]
