Fidwits! I don't want Fidwits!

I have a name for foods that are empty calories or are not good for my health program -- Fidwits.

It stands for Foods I Don't Want To Eat, or FIDWTE. It's easier to say, 'Fidwit'. By naming them as something I DO NOT WANT, it makes it easier for me to pass them by.

Challenges with change

Can't believe we've wrapped up another challenge. I came down roughly 2 lbs over this challenge (despite today's weigh-in weight).

stress-buster for me

My number one stress buster is to knit. I love to see what I can make by knitting something.
