Weird Injuries...
I'm the queen of injuring myself in totally strange and unusual ways. Tonight, I managed to cut, not 1, but both of my thumbs while cracking crabs. Who else has this kind of problem...please don't let me be the only ungraceful wretch out there!

My Memaw
This morning, my Grandmother passed away. She was a wonderful, amazing, beautiful woman and she taught me so many things. In her honor...I will not allow myself to eat emotionally, and will continue to lose weight because she wanted me to be healthy and happy. I am still doing this for myself...but she will always be one…

Healthy Chinese?

I'm so proud of me!
I am proud of myself, and needed to share. I've had a rough week last week, and sticking to my diet was difficult to being away from home and my kitchen and having to rely on eating out for nurishment. Sunday, I got back to it! I overcame.

What do you do to stay motivated?
I am just asking for additional ideas. I get on these really motivated spurts followed by periods of apathy. I find that telling my hubby I am going to excercise after he gets home from work helps...but sometimes not enough. Besides, someone might have a brilliant idea we all want to share!

Vegetarian Help
Ok, I am actually pescetarian, but tonight we are going to a viewing for a man we've known all our lives who died of throat cancer. Its very sad, he had the most beautiful bass singing voice you ever wanted to hear...he could move angels. Anyway, a group of friends and my family are going out to eat, and most likely it…

I finally get it
Ok, tonight, I got some devastating news. My grandmother is going to be put on hospice. I got the news right before I went for my evening walk. I'm training to walk a 5k next month.

Vegetarian and stuck
Two weeks ago, I decided to go vegetarian allowing some fish. I lost 5 pounds last week, but this week, I seem to be stuck? Am I doing something wrong, or does it slow down like that once your body gets use to it? I'm eating very balanced, and trying to stay away from junk food all together, although this week, I did have…

Favorite egg recipes
I just made myself a fantastic breakfast, and was wondering what others of you do with your eggs to spice things up. I made scrambled eggs with roasted red and yellow sweet peppers, I sprinkled some McCormicks garlic and basil seasoning, and pinch of sea salt and topped it with a roasted salsa. It was awesome!
