what would you do to help your family get healthy?
Today I offered my dad $20 for every day he goes for a bike ride and was thrilled when he accepted! We live on a beautiful biking trail and he used to love to ride his recumbent bike! This summer he's just let himself go and packed on the pounds. He's chewing snuff and just reading books or playing solitaire on the…

Nigella Feasts
Is there anything sexier (for a foodie that is) than watching Nigella cook in her tight sweaters and listening to her sexy accent as she describes her food??? Damn! LOL This may be because of all the Nyquil that I'm ingesting, but even sick she makes the food look amazing!

How do you celebrate weight loss vicotories?
I've lost 8 pounds in the last 2 weeks by sticking to my food and exercise plan. In the past I might have celebrated by enjoying some Ben and Jerry's or a doughnut or another forbidden treat...telling myself that this is my reward. Today I celebrated by making a flax meal pancake that I added cocoa powder too and a tbsp of…
