I took a day off from writing my cookbook. I’ve been cranking out 2 recipes a day but I had to work late today so I only had the energy to make leftovers. I successfully avoided the Taco Bell which was calling my name though! I’ve been eating so good, I just have to keep up with it - it’s pool season for goodness sakes! I’ve got lots of things in the works so I’m psyched about that!
Here’s a thought for the day: I never knew how to really take care of my pools. That was always handled by my ex. It’s been a struggle to figure it all out but this week it finally all clicked! Now I feel like a pro. Losing weight is the same way. In the beginning, it’s hard. You don’t know what you are doing, you don’t have the routine down, but after awhile it just clicks and you’re on autopilot! So, hang in there!
It’s officially two weeks to my birthday! Woo hoo!


You are always inspirational, Amy! Keep going! Love you!
awww thanks!
Hi Amy,
I haven’t read your blog for ages and was just reading that you are losing weight. Do you know what it was that caused you to put some weight on again? Maintenance seems to be hard for so many of us.
LOL - the same thing that causes everyone to gain weight - eating out too much, not being vigilant enough and getting back on plan the moment the weight starts to go up, etc. I gained some during the holidays and just didn’t really care because I still feel like I look great! I haven’t been trying that hard to lose it but I do feel better in the 130s versus the 140s. I only want to lose about 7-10 lbs (133 is the weight I liked best) and to be honest, it doesn’t really make that much of a difference in how I look, it’s more of a mental thing. Maintenance is hard because it’s all about finding that balance and that can be tricky!
It sure can be tricky! Keep up the great blog.
