“God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me.” One year ago today on July 20th 2009, my friend Mae posted those words of wisdom to her Facebook profile and it changed my life! From that moment, it [...]

Hood Calorie Countdown Dairy Beverage
Ha! They can’t even call this product “milk” – it’s a “dairy beverage” – that should tell you right there that there’s a problem. Sort of like American Cheese is not really a cheese, but a “cheese product”. So, I hadn’t even heard of this product, but I just read a post on a forum [...]

146.8 AM Weigh In
Wow, I weighed myself this morning again, before eating and I’m down to 146.8 pounds. Strange. I don’t know what I am doing different, but I guess it’s good that I am still losing. I suppose it’s just a combination of a better metabolism and clean eating. I am proof that eating whole unprocessed foods [...]
