LYNNABEL's CalorieKing Blog
In childhood and high school I was always a healthy weight. After graduating from college, my weight fluctuated (mostly in the up-direction). I got to an all time high of 158 in 2000, and joined weight watchers (the in-home version - I've always been private about my weight) and lost about 28 pounds. I was able to maintain that loss through several major live challenges, but at the 28th major issue to hit me in the space of 1 year (a slight exaggeration), the pounds came back along with loneline...

Today I am grateful for the weekend that just ended. I am grateful for Will's smile, when it shows up unexpectedly. I am grateful for Rex's unending affection.

I've been thinking about a question a lot lately.
If I could do anything with my life, what would it be? I've had so many goal posts along the way that have kept me from thinking BIG. Supporting my family. Law school. The next step in my current career. But I have been coming back to this question more and more.
I don't know. I don't know what I'd do.
I'm a little skeptical of the idea of a life coach, so I'm wondering if there is a work book of sorts that could help me figure th...

I'm getting frustrated with the search function on here, for food items. I know that I have a particular food saved and yet it won't come up in a search. I have to choose my foods, and then scroll for a hundred years. And its so literal, it isn't smart enough to rearrange words.
