Yeah, I'm soooo not that person.
As I sit here, I am a good 8-10 pounds up in weight from my 12 lb loss after almost ...

I like to say that I am not a choc-o-holic. I really do. And, I used to definitely have more control. But, something happened to me when I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes around four years ago. I suddenly find myself unable to keep chocolate in my house, unless it is in ...

...when we last left my continuing saga with weight loss and overall improved fitness, I was trying to amp myself up with a pep talk of what I've done right, and mute out all those thoughts about where I am going wrong.

November of 2008 will hopefully one day be marked in my memory as the month it all changed for me. I'm not just talking about losing the blog persona and getting more real with my writing, but something a bit bigger.

This is SOOOO not another "mommy blog." Ok, well maybe it is. But, what else would you expect from a career writer, who has lived the life of a SAHM and now is juggling her way back into part-time work again while raising two wild kids with her wise-cracking husband and a large stinky labrador retriever?
