So I've sorta kinda been into reading Martha Stewart lately. I know, I know . . . but she does actually have some good tips and advice. While surfing her site I found this Body and Soul Challenge. So I'm giving it a try. Really my only goal is to get to a healthy weight for my height and frame. According to this site my healthy weight is ( Read more... )

The darker the chocolate, the more flavinoids (the good stuff) and the less sugar (the bad stuff). I've also found that the darker the chocolate is, the less of it I need to eat to get my chocolate fix. Just a couple squares of something 70%-85% will usually do the trick, whereas something in the 50%-60% range, I'll usually want a whole bar.

I'm tempted by this site. I've had my own system I've been using, but I've really plateaued recently, and I'm still a ways to go from my ideal weight. May have to give it a try. Thanks for the link!

I'm interested! :-) And go you for finding a goal and working for it!

And yea -- I totally hear you on the eating-the-same-amount-as-your-SO thing. I do the same thing far too often. It's just easier to divide stuff evenly and follow your partner's lead on how to eat it.

I found another good thing to do is to get The Boy involved. If it's "hey -- I'm doing this. Would you like to do it with me?" or just "head's up.", it really helps.

That sounds like a really healthy program to work with. Yay for actually taking a sane and stepwise approach!
