Atkin’s Ongoing Weight Loss, and Working out with my Sweetheart
OWL is Atkin’s lingo for ongoing weight loss. I have been maintaining my 25-30 grams of carbs per day, mostly out of habituation. It has become pretty easy to just naturally stay in that zone. I decided to add more regular workouts since joining the Y. I’ve done lots of bike, elliptical, a cardio-pump class, [...]
Yes, I am a porn star in bed
OK, I admit it. I love sex with my husband! I absolutely crave it, adore it AND him, and it is absolutely hot. I am 43 years old, probably nearing the end of my peak. In my early 20′s, and thirties, a whole decade, sex was not my forte`. Yes, I was and still am [...]
Today’s Most Amazing Workout and the Day’s Sample Diet

My body seems to have adjusted to about 25-30 grams per day. I sometimes have less, but not intentionally [...]

My younger daughter has been fighting a lack of energy and motivation over the past couple of years. She has also suffered with serious depression and cutting. The cutting is something she has promised and vowed to never do again, and I know she means it, but we want to make sure she doesn’t slip [...]
132 lbs and holding. Over three months of Atkin’s.
I can’t believe it’s been just over three months. It seems like six or seven. In fact, every few weeks I do the count, and it’s still at like 3 months. I started induction in earnest on January 12. Here it is April 16, so yeah- three months and a week. Not much time, eh? [...]

News of the Week. Can we not do Better?
The news. First of all, the networks keep rehashing the same stories, stringing them out over a week’s time, with just enough change to the preview blurb to make you think there may be new developments in what you’ve already heard. But, despite their attempt at jazzing it up, it’s the same story. Facebook’s IPO [...]
