Red Chili Corn Salad with Limas and Cherry Tomatoes
Here's a quick and nourishing salad with a gentle spicy kick from chili powder or hot smoked paprika. It makes good work of essential Latin American favorites like corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and Lima beans. I like to serve it on a bed of baby spinach to supply that green element for a well-rounded entree. Serves 4 as a side…

Just some progress
Over a year ago I couldn't walk up to my sons school (which was only 1.2 miles away). I would have to stop, and catch my breath. Now I can walk up there and back and not feel tired at all.

Thinking about going vegan

Mirror Mirror
Mirror mirror on the wall do you have to tell it all? Where do you get the glaring light to make my clothes look just too tight? I think I'm fine but I can see you won't cooperate with me. The way you let the shadows play you'd think my hair was turning grey. What's that you say, a double chin? No that's the way the light…

what did you do differently today?
What did you do differently today than what you normally do? Today I workout out in the evening rather than in the morning.

What do you do when you are bored?
What is it that you do when you are bored? Do you do more exercise? If so like what? Or do you just sit back and watch tv/movie? etc. At times I get bored of doing the same "bored things" over and over. I think this would be a great way to get new ideas on how to get out of bored?
