Listening to Music while Walking

I had another wonderful walk this morning. It was slightly foggy outside, but cool and a gentle breeze to tickle my skin every now and then. Perfect conditions for walking!

I love bringing along my little Sony MP3 player. Before I headed out this morning I loaded it up with more fun, upbeat music to listen […]

You Are What You Think

Shed Those Unhealthy Layers (Like A Snake)

Blogging and Weight Loss

How often do you share your weight loss goals with other people? Do you blab it to everybody who will listen? Or do you keep your goals to yourself, silently intent on reaching them without a lot of cheering and encouragement from others?

Does the Term "Fat" Offend You?

It was recently called to my attention that the term “fat blogger” is offensive to some. I had never considered it or thought of it as being an offensive term, so I was caught a little off-guard by this comment. But it also got me thinking…
