New Weight Loss Drink Mix… Recipe: Lose Weight Drinking Milk Shakes

Oct 28th, 2009 Posted in Weight Loss | no comment »

Two days ago, after my husband and I finished cutting a customer’s lawn, I got a craving for a milkshake.  It’s been so many years since I’ve had one.  I couldn’t even think of a place in town that made them. 

I went to this icee place and had to settle for a root beer ice cone.  I didn’t care for it.  It tasted wayyy too sweet.  Since I don’t care much for sugar, I wasn’t able to eat it.

Identifying Eating Habits That Cause You To Gain Weight

Feb 19th, 2009 Posted in Weight Loss | no comment »

If you have gained weight and wonder why, you need to rethink what got you to the point you are at.   You need to analyze what can trigger you to over eat  and to eat when you aren’t even hungry. 

Some of the things you need to consider are:

1.  Are you a clock eater?                                  I remember as a kid, our family ate by the clock.  Breakfast was at 7:30 am, lunch was at noon, and supper was at 5:00 pm.  Hungry or not, we had to eat at those times.   You need to listen to what your body is telling you and don’t eat if you aren’t hungry.

Get Organized to Succeed at Healthy Eating

Have you ever skipped breakfast because you were in a rush – and ending up grabbing a mid-morning candy bar to stave off hunger?

Have you ever wished that you had something healthy for lunch – when your canteen seems to specialize in greasy fried foods?

Have you ever phoned for a pizza just because there was nothing in the fridge?

Let’s Get Fit in 2009

Jan 18th, 2009 Posted in Weight Loss | no comment »

I went to the senior center for lunch today.  It only costs $1.25 for a balanced meal.  We had baked chicken, turnip greens, small piece of cornbread, and some fruit cocktail along with butter milk.  I brought water with me since I don’t like butter milk.

I found out today the center has received a grant for healthy living.  Let’s Get Fit In 2009 …..Tennessee Shapes Up is the title of the program.

Cooking Light: Cookbook Review

Dec 8th, 2008 Posted in Weight Loss | no comment »


The Best of Cooking Light Everyday Favorites is certainly not a cookbook that one should leaf through on an empty stomach.

The food looked so good that my appetite increased ten fold, luckily a fast walk during lunch kept me from hitting the Chinese buffet.

This new Cooking Light cookbook, edited and compiled by Heather Averett, contains over 500 of their best recipes and really covers just about all aspects of eating, but as usual in a reduced-Calorie way.
