Freeze-Frame

Posted on April 18, 2013 by JessieB

Will You Take Me Back, Weight Watchers? Please?

Posted on March 28, 2013 by JessieB

In January, I left Weight Watchers.  It all started with a stuffed pepper.  It was full of brown rice, black beans, a little bit of cheese, some veggies…and it was 11 PointsPlus. 11. I was irritated that a simple stuffed … Continue reading →

Rambling Tuesday

Posted on January 29, 2013 by JessieB

On Surviving and Moving Forward

Posted on January 3, 2013 by JessieB

I survived the wisdom teeth extraction today.  AND I didn’t cry in front of Hot Dr.  Call me silly, but since I had kids, I’ve been more aware of my mortality.  I’m terrified that something will happen, and that they’ll … Continue reading →
