Fit Fare

Here’s the scorecard for this week:

Days where I have resisted extra snacks and sweets: 4 
Healthy lunches taken to work: 2
Days I have worked out: 0

I need to work out. I need to work out. I need to work out.

After a one week hiatus, Diary of a Loser is back and better than ever. This will be the last Wednesday post though. Beginning this Friday (yes, two days from now) Diary of a Loser is moving to Friday at noon. Check here every week to see where I am at in this crazy weightloss […]

Phew. The annual family Christmas party is out of the way. Christmas eve is taken care of. And the eating feast of Christmas is finished. And somehow I came through it all - all the sweets, all the decadent foods, all the eating - losing a pound or two. How cool is that?
