I'm not doing terribly well in the weight loss department. After a warm and sunny summer and September, we've had some of what Winnie-the-Pooh would definitely call "blustery days". I just want to curl up by the fireplace and listen to the rain on the roof.

Last night I had dinner at my parents' house, along with my husband and kids, my sister and her husband and kids, and my aunt. There were 13 of us in all. Italian food is Mom's specialty, what I remember from growing up. I'm allergic to perfumes and fragrances. (This is relevant, really.

It was Friday night and I had just about had it. I was fed up with everything really, but I was particularly aggravated with myself. On a whim while I was driving I pulled up to my local gym. This is a highly publicized gym and I had never been to any gym in my adult life let alone a popular one.

My niece had told me to try it more than once. She would often remark on how delicious it was. I am not the biggest yogurt fan. I thought to myself, "How delicious can yogurt be?" About a month ago I realized that they were only 160 calories with the granola.
