Nearly four years ago (yikes, I can’t believe it’s been that long) I joined Weight Watchers for (what I thought) would be the last time. Before I joined, I rarely cooked. As much as I love cooking now, I had a TINY kitchen and a great pizza place down the street so I never did [...]
Happy Wednesday! I’ve come to really enjoy Wednesday evenings because I know that there are only two more wake-ups until the weekend! I hate that Adam has class so late, but I get to watch garbage TV for a few hours, read quietly, or cook stuff I’m not sure he’ll like. Usually, that ends up [...]

MY OH MY am I feeling better!! My appetite came back with a vengeance today, and I was desperately craving protein!! It made me realize exactly how little I’d eaten in the last few days… Adam and I decided to go to the health food store, The Fruitful Yield to see if we could find [...]
