I can’t believe how fatigued I am today … I think the busy long weekend caught up with me, because that is how Lucas found me when he got home from work.
I beat him home by about 10 minutes, and really just wanted to close my eyes for a moment … what you don’t see is the drool on the pillow. Gross. So, I’m breaking my normal no-coffee-after-3pm rule and enjoying some french press. Mmmm.
Have you guys heard that it’s National Yoga Month? There’s a great site that allows you to find yoga studios in your area, and even get a free month! I’m bummed, because the closest studio to me is an hour away, so I can’t take part. But I’ll be doing some at-home yoga with my best downward dog partners:
On to the giveaway! I recently read a book by Dr. David Kessler, called “The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appette.”
Here’s a quick video about it:
Dr. Kessler was the FDA chairman under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He’s also spent years struggling with his own weight, and this book is part-autobiography, part-scientific research. It’s an interesting read, and now YOU can check out this best-selling book yourself!

Biggest struggle when it comes to food? Choosing the right food. I’ve been exercising regularly for years now, but the end result is that I am so very hungry every couple (and by very hungry, I mean stomach is literally growling, and by couple, I mean two hours). I get tired of choosing the healthy option every two hours.
Thanks for offering this contest!
Baked goods are definitely my biggest food challenge.
and I just tweeted the giveaway!
I think my greatest issue is either not eating enough, or eating too much of one food group(fruit vs veg.)

I think my biggest problem when it comes to food is sweets! I love dessert and I love trying desserts when I go out to eat. I could eat cake, ice cream, and any other sweet all day every day without a problem.
luvin the new layout!!!
My biggest struggle is evenings when I am alone. Those are the times that I am most likely to binge or eat when I am not hungry at all.

I would normally say my biggest eating downfall is sweets (particularly chocolate) – I can’t go a day without at least a square of extra dark chocolate. However, recently my downfall has been boredom snacking in the afternoons (I’m home alone job searching all day). I just have to make sure I’m really aware of myself and what I’m eating – am I hungry? If not, go for some carbonated water or something.
