One of the foods I’m really enjoying on my weight loss journey with the Extreme Fat Smash diet is brown rice. Since brown rice takes a long time to cook (45 minutes or more) I cook up a couple of cups and put it in the refrigerator for future use. Precooking brown rice cuts down [...]
I’m still 151. Why? I had a nasty head cold this week, and when I’m sick all I want to do is eat. And once the fever, sore throat and pounding headache started, I craved chocolate, nuts, soup and fruit smoothies. On the positive side, I only missed one workout and didn’t gain any weight. [...]
One of the things I like about doing the Extreme Fat Smash Diet online is that all the planning is done for me, including a shopping list. Not only am I given a weekly menu, but I can change the meal plan if I don’t care for the dish. Don’t you wish you had something [...]
When the folks at Fleishman-Hillard, Inc. sent me a few Glad® SimplyCooking™ Microwave Steaming Bags, I was a little skeptical. After all, I like using my stove top steamer insert, and zapping apples or frozen veggies in the microwave is easy. Plus aren’t using these disposal bags wasteful and expensive? Then I tried them out. [...]
FOOD: Stay on track with the Extreme Fat Smash Diet as prescribed on the Celebrity Fit Club website. That means advance planning, measuring portions, taking food with me, and so on. EXERCISE: Still do at least 45 minutes of exercise on the stationary bike every day. EXERCISE: Do arm weights while on the stationary bike [...]
I weighed in at 151 (a 1.8 pound weight loss) and have lost 10 pounds total. I also lost a couple of inches in my waist, an inch on my belly, and an inch around my hips. Good news, right? Then why do I feel like I’m not doing well? For one thing, I keeping [...]
Leslie at The Weighting Game has the posted the first part of her series "Raising the bar" on her blog. So far she’s reviewed bars by Kashi, Attune, Ecco Bella, LUNA, and SoyJoy. Check it out! Except for Kashi and LUNA, I’ve never heard of the rest. Maybe that’s because I stick with the bars [...]
Carmen at the ELFF Diet has teamed Tigerlilly and me as workout buddies. We’re supposed to email each other and check in to see if we’re working out and making our goals. Since I’m exercise challenged, I emailed TL a set of goals for the week, including food, wellness, knowledge and blogging – all of [...]
My knee is still injured and not getting better. It’s not that painful, but it makes the rest of me sore bone tired. And when I’m tired, I eat, especially when you still bowls of nuts, dried fruit and candy in front of me at training sessions (for my moms club) and at bunco with [...]
Last Saturday I did 45 minutes on the stationary bike, and went to a power yoga class. Then I was up all night at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event where I walked about six miles. The next morning, when walking out to my car after the event, I twisted and sprained my [...]
Week nine on the Extreme Fat Smash Diet – it was good to get back on the weight loss and exercise plan after going on my business trip to BlogHer07. I can now say the biggest weakness to the Extreme Fat Smash Diet is that it doesn’t travel well. You have to be cooking out [...]

Great Condiments – Spend some time and a little money in buying some terrific tasting vinegars, mustards, barbeque sauce, low/no fat salad dressings, Asian sauces (mirin, soy, teriyaki, [...]
