Random acts of blogness

I thought I would just answer some random questions I have been getting recently in comments or emails. just for fun.

1.  Do you really photograph everything you eat? Pretty much.  Ask my family LOL! I don’t always take pictures of nibbles, although I usually mention that.

I am certainly not a ‘perfect eater’ [...]

Why is sucralose in everything?

Warning – rant ahead.  Let me preface this that I cannot abide the taste of Splenda/sucralose.  It is super bitter to me.  I know a lot of people think it tastes like sugar, but it is awful on my tastebuds.  Life would be easier if it was not that way.

I avoid products with sucralose [...]

Hello my name is Lori and I love food!

Haha – that title almost sounds like a 12 step admission, doesn’t it? While a big part of my blog has been about losing weight, it also is about food.

(Tonight’s dinner with the new Sea Pak popcorn fish!)

I am in a good place now as far as my relationship with food goes, but [...]

Eating what you want versus what you need

Monday Monday!  Hello to all the new people visiting after the Woman’s Day article was picked up on yahoo.com!  Ya’ll almost exploded my blog   Welcome!

It was so weird having a whole weekend off where I wasn’t traveling somewhere.  I just relaxed and did fun stuff, which was nice.  Watched a lot of football [...]

Review of Women, Food and God

I finally finished Women Food and God by Geneen Roth.

I was not exactly sure what to expect with this book, but I have to say that it wasn’t really what I expected.  Does that make sense?  First off, I was put off by the title, hence the reason I waited so long to [...]

The calorie conundrum

Complete rest day for me today!  I took a Tylenonl PM last night and slept for about 8 hours.  Really needed that.   I was craving peanut butter, probably for fat reasons, so I knew that was what I wanted on my cream of wheat this morning!  I made them banana custard style:

1 tablespoon [...]

Holiday week thoughts

The holiday week is officially beginning!  Let’s start out with a holiday favorite of mine that is back now – the gingerbread bagel at Panera!

Yuuuummmmm!!!! Yum!

Today was a slower work day with both jobs.  It’s going to be spotty all week with the holiday, so I am going to have to flex [...]

How do I start?

Welcome to all of the That’s Fit article readers!  I will talk about that a little bit later after I recap some of the day.

Time change actually didn’t make me get up too early this morning and I was super surprised at that.  Normally I wake up when the sun does, so I was [...]

Fitting in and the peak

I have to say that I am really glad that my lifting posts give everyone ideas or inspire people to lift.  I was thinking a lot about this lately, especially after the brouhaha with the Marie Claire article and the discussions following.  Plus Pubsgal and MizFit had brought up some points about blogger clicques.

I [...]

Deep thoughts on will power.

It’s bagel day!  I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to bike, as it looked like it was threatening rain.  However, we went anyway.  Here is my bike all locked up at the bagel place.

In the past, we didn’t really lock up our bikes at this place very often, but now [...]
