Maintaining Weight During Omni’s StabilizationPhase

May 21, 2014 by Alison 7 Comments

Yup…you read that right! So far I’m maintaining all the weight I lost during the “dropping” phase of the diet. To be honest, I’ve actually lost about another pound and a half so about (23 total in under 40 days with the majority being in a 30 day period) so I’m pretty stoked about that. […]

May 19, 2014 by Alison 18 Comments

It’s that time of year. The first major camping weekend of the year is coming up and it seems like every year, I end up forgetting to pack something that we need. Unfortunately when you’re camping and away from the conveniences of town, it’s not always so easy to just run to town and pick […]

At Home Professional Teeth Whitening – It Does Exist

May 16, 2014 by Alison 21 Comments

My Mom Likes Beavis and Butthead

May 9, 2014 by Alison 14 Comments

  My mom, she’s a riot. I don’t think anyone (well at least anyone with a slightly twisted sense of humor) that meets her can walk away not liking her. She’s a strong lady and has instilled that quality in both my sister and I which I can’t thank her enough for. Lord knows my […]
