Losing weight, one diet at a time; one month at a time…


Best Crab Cakes 2010 - So far…

We’re not too far into 2010 yet, but I’m thinking, it’s gonna be hard to beat these crab cakes from Funky Lil Kitchen. We decided to try a new restaurant last night and Adam had heard good things about this place. Pottstown, PA is not known for their cuisine or much of anything else. But, this newish restaurant is like being in center city Philadelphia and the food was amazing.

Apparently the menu changes too often to have a copy online, but from our experience last night, I can’t imagine that you’d be disappointed with anything they served.

I try and review my favorite crab cakes every year and so far, these crab cakes from Funky Lil Kitchen are definitely the best!

Weight Watchers - Down 16 Lbs

I’ve lost 16 lbs since last year at this time.

For me, Weight Watchers is the way to go. It’s not so restrictive that I feel trapped. It’s flexible enough for my lifestyle and allows me to eat the foods that I love and still lose weight. It’s all about portion control.

I have to give Weight Watchers a big thumbs up!

Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle or Dieting - Which are You Doing?

As I was replying to a recent comment on my “down 4 lbs” post, I realized that I am always “dieting”. I have not embraced a healthy lifestyle and this became crystal clear when I realized that I’m either eating “right” or not. This is definitely a dieting mentality. And I wonder why I can’t seem to lose weight!

If I were focused on living and eating a healthful diet, an occassional treat or indulgence would be ok. I would still be eating healthy and NOT dieting.

What do you think? Are you eating healthy or dieting?

Down 4 Pounds

After two weeks of Weight Watchers, I’m down 4.2 lbs!

Next week I should receive accolades for having lost 5 lbs - if I do lose at least .8 lbs. I believe that is doable, but I am going out to dinner tonight and I may be going to a birthday party on Sunday, so we’ll see how much I lose.

I stayed for the meeting again, last night. I sat alone, but that gave me the opportunity to play Spider Solitaire on my Blackberry. My addiction has now spread to my cell phone. Technology is great!

I was still able to listen to the speaker - which was the point for me joining. The topic last night was how to survive going out to eat. This includes estimating portion size, asking the waiter/waitress to have the food prepared for a special diet, and knowing which foods are under the “SetPoints” - meaning you don’t have to worry about portion control.

It was all good, but I didn’t win any games!
