Earlier this month I was visiting my out-of-town family. My sister begged asked to guest post on my blog. After much suspense may I introduce my oldest sister Cathy - she loves wine, is the best voice teacher in Kalispell, MT, and makes a kick-ass pasta dish! So without further ado... Losing Sarah - a guest post: Fat little legs came to visit...Read More
On Saturday, September 25th at 9:00 am I ran in my second ever 5k race! This time it wasn't just about me though... this time it was personal. In 2001, I lost my dad to prostate cancer. I have forever since then wondered why there seems to be so little activism for this cause; so little awareness about prostate cancer and the amazing amount...Read More
Tomorrow I am running in the Great Prostate Cancer Challenge. Its my second ever race - a 5k. Its tomorrow morning at 9 am Central Time. I am nervous and excited. I am also happy that I've managed to raise $360 towards this cause. Remember my dad died from it. I know he will be there in spirit to cheer me on. I...Read More

For the third year Weight Watchers is running a campaign to help fight world hunger. They are calling it Lose For Good. For every pound Weight Watchers members lose, they are donating money to Share our Strength and Action Against Hunger. Well... I've also decided to get involved personally as well. I have been so incredibly blessed to always be fed well; to...Read More

So tonight while eating my dinner I had a revelation of sorts... what I was eating tasted completely naughty, but it was not. So I thought I start a new thing thing there called... Tastes Naughty but is NOT (TNBIN)! To highlight foods that are OK in the fat/calories department and high in the taste department. First up................... Trader Joe's Orange Chicken! Now...Read More
I am back from playing hooky...reintegration into everday life is always so hard, isn't it? And I am repeating this over and over to my super tired, horribly stressed out, at the brink self tonight: I will get up and run tomorrow, I will get up and run tomorrow morning at 5:45 am... I will get up and run... I will do it. I will...Read More
So I'm just a little absent this past week. If you must know, I'm playing hooky. Hooky from life. Hooky from Weight Watchers and counting every last point. Hooky from work... I'm not playing hooky from exercise though. OK, I did take the weekend off - not even a long weekend. But I was running again on Monday morning already. But this morning...Read More
So... you've lost 106.4 pounds, what are you going to do next? I'm going to Disneyland.... oh oops... wrong answer, but I wish :-) But it does beg the question, after losing 106.4 pounds where do I go from here? Well... this time the answer is fairly easy. Keep going down. See, while this might be the goal my doctor and I set...Read More
