Heathenry and Weight
Havamal 20. A greedy man, if he be not mindful, eats to his own life's hurt: oft the belly of the fool will bring him to scorn when he seeks the circle of the wise. Most of us look to the Havamal as a guide for right-living. Our ancestors were wise folk indeed, and gave us many tools to ease the way through life. I know in…

Fruit
Wassail Ladies! So, fruit. Love it? Hate it? I'm in the "I like it but never manage to eat it" catagory. I buy it. I put it in sight on my table. It sits there and I throw it away. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this happens. I buy stuff I like, bananas, nectarines, mangos, etc., but for some reason, I just…

Seasonal Eating
'Morning Ladies! Have any of you expiermented with seasonal eating? I know we Heathen-types tend to be a bit more attune to the seasonal changes than the average person. Does this extend to your diet? I've toyed with it but plan on working towards doing a lot more of this.

FYI
In case anyone here is watching my food diary, I'll explain what I'm doing. I'm easing back into my dieting. This week, I'm eating a healthy breakfast and doing whatever for lunch and dinner. Next week, it'll be breakfast & lunch, then the next will be breakfast, lunch & dinner. I've learned it's a better way for me. If I…

Brand New Day, Brand New Me!
Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site and excited to make some new friends! I live in Oklahoma City and would love to 'meet' someone from my area. I'd like to get a work-out buddy but I will warn you, I travel a lot for my job. Anyway, I'm looking forward to sharing my success (and failures 'cause let's face it, they do happen)…
