Scary – Grocery Store Trips! LOL

I am guilty of impulse shopping when I go to the grocery store.  I’m buying more fruits and vegetables at the Farmer’s Markets, meats at a local specialty store, but I still have to go to the grocery store.  There’s just no way around it.  One of my goals this past year has been to [...]

Reasons to Stay On Track (or Get Back On Track)

There are some days that I breeze through and you couldn’t force feed me a Krispy Kreme donut, and other days I would drive for hours for just a bite.  It is strange to me sometimes but I’ve learned to accept it.  I enjoy the days when my commitment to my healthy habits is rock [...]
