Ideas for healthy food for a 3 day Baseball Tournament
So this weekend starts the crazy 5 weeks in a row of all weekend long baseball tournaments with my oldest son's select team. The good news is that we are close enough to the house to come home each night, empty and refill the coolor and snack bag, but not close enough to come home between games. I live in Texas and it is…

Holy Smokes!
so I have been using an old scale to track weight but my starting weight came from the drs office. The scale finally died this week and I went and bought a new one. Stepped on it and HOLY SMOKES!

New way of handling stress
So I started this road to healthy exactly 12 hours before a big traumatic event struck my family. My old M.O. would have been to curl up in a ball, eat like crap and cry.
