One of my regular readers, Jen, asked if I would be willing to share what I eat to be successful on Weight Watchers®. So I am going to share my “menus”/tracking/what I have eaten this week. For those of you not familiar with WW–just a few things I want to mention before I launch into my [...]

Last night I went to an Oakland A’s game with Curt and some friends. I debated on what I should do about dinner at the ballpark. There really aren’t any healthy options. But I wanted to enjoy myself but still not go crazy in the caloric intake department. If you plan, you can still enjoy [...]
A friend on Facebook the other day mentioned that she decided to make a better breakfast choice on Friday. She said she had two Twinkies on Thursday for breakfast. On Friday she had a quarter of a watermelon. She decided to search on Google: calories in quarter watermelon. She found the answer of 339 after [...]
