I’ve never been able to wrap my head around hearing someone say “I can’t eat because I’m too stressed.” Stress has never stood in the way of eating for me! In fact, stress only fuels the fire for many people. And that’s what I’ve been dealing with lately. The stress of being a tax accountant […]

The Weekly Weigh-In: Week 4 — Be Prepared
A key ingredient for any diet is preparation, so I researched the meaning behind the Scout motto “Be Prepared”. According to Wikipedia, the Scout Motto means you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your DUTY (and yes, the word “duty” is in all caps). –Be Prepared in Mind […]
The Weekly Weigh-In: Week 3 – One Size Does Not Fit All
Finally I was starting to see a tiny bit of progress on the whole diet thing. The numbers on the scale weren’t fluctuating much, but the idea of getting dressed for work was becoming less daunting. So on Casual Friday I pulled out an old pair of Size 14 DKNY jeans and prayed that they […]

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I previewed the menu at Main Street Oyster House before their grand opening.

Harford Hotspots: At Scotto’s Café, the Special of the Evening is Called “Special” for a Reason
Believe it or not, I rarely get a chance to eat out. Crazy, isn’t it? So when I do have the luxury of a night on the town, I don’t mind spending a few extra bucks. So last Saturday after a full day at the office, the last thing I wanted to do was grocery […]
