Whenever I hear someone complain of kidney stones, I URGE them to get their vitamin D levels tested! I suffered kidney stones for years (including one stint in the hospital where I couldn’t pass two stones on my own) before a doctor FINALLY tested my vitamin D levels to find I had a severe deficiency. [...]

Apparently they are giving out free samples of Hills’ “Nature’s Best” dry dog and cat food somewhere near work. Someone left a sample on the table at work yesterday and today there was a woman on the elevator holding three samples. I could NOT hold my tongue in the elevator – and simply told her [...]
Coffee drinks on a calorie budget

I credit some of my weight gain over the years to my LOVE of delicious coffee drinks. Now, some of my friends would argue I don’t even like coffee. Maybe they’re right. I certainly never ever drink black coffee – or even sweetened black coffee. I was one of the many in line for a [...]

I previously posted my four goals for 2009, including:
“Fit into a regular (not women’s) size 14 – Lose 20 pounds by my niece’s wedding in July”
Well, it’s May April and I just bought two pairs of jeans this weekend in size EIGHT, and I’ve lost 29 pounds since January!
Pudgy progress!

It’s over three months in, and I’m still loving the NutriSystem plan! I can’t believe it, really. I’ve tried SO many diets – there are few I would make it three months on, and definitely I’d be screaming to quit by now on the others! But how can I complain when I’m eating food that [...]

Saturday was “errand day”. I took Rumpelmintz to the vet, made cat food, and got my hair cut (and highlighted – woo hoo!). Then I went to Kmart, dropped off some donated medications at the cat shelter, and stopped at Trader Joe’s to get groceries before going to Pet Supplies Plus to buy [...]
Lintee Bean catches a train!

I’ve been disheartened by just how out-of-shape I am. I started exercising Sunday, and I chose my “easiest” exercise video. I used to dislike that one because it was “too easy”. It kicks my butt now. I did it on Sunday and Monday and thought I’d die.
It doesn’t help that dear Rumpelmintz HATES for me [...]

It’s hard for me to believe – but I’ve already completed three weeks on the NutriSystem plan! How is it going? Very well!
I have multiple issues with food:
