Yay! I’m half way through my October Unprocessed 2011 challenge! There have been a couple of flubs along the way, but I’m not worrying too much. Life is too short to beat yourself up with too much nitpicking. In general, I think I am doing a great job with the challenge. And a bonus! I [...]

October Unprocessed 2011 – UPDATE Day #8
Day #8 for the October Unprocessed 2011 challenge over at the Eating Rules blog. It’s been going very well, maybe a tiny flub or two at the beginning, but for the most part, I’m going strong! I was already a fairly “clean” eater but participating in this challenge has forced me to look even deeper [...]
October Unprocessed 2011 – NO Processed Food for One Month
I stumbled on the October Unprocessed 2011 over on the EatingRules.com blog and it seems like a good challenge to try. For the most part, I don’t eat processed food, but yes, there are times when a few items sneak in…like a subway sub or some birthday cake from the grocery store. His definition of [...]
My 2 Year Anniversary!
Darn! I missed my 2 year anniversary! It was on Wednesday the 20th, I thought it was the 23rd! Oh well. What’s important is I made it though another year. 2 years ago, a friend posted an inspirational quote on her Facebook profile and it profoundly altered my life forever. God grant me the serenity [...]

Happy Merry Christmas To All

Friday night we were at the inlaws for Christmas Eve, eating comfort foods I eat probably only once a year. Hot dogs [...]

Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears. Rudyard Kipling, British writer, 20th century So true!
Burger vs Stir Fry
I could have ordered a cheeseburger but I ordered a chicken shrimp stir fry dinner instead! I did good!
Potato Chip Tempation
There is an open bag of potato chips staring at me here at the office and I am just saying NO! It would be so easy to just grab a handful. But NO! Just say no! I’m thinking about how strong I am. When I first started on my journey last year, it was a [...]
Time to Do Better
Well, our last summer vacation is over! We had a really great summer, but truthfully, part of me is glad that we’re done with vacations for now. I didn’t revert all the way back to old ways, but with each week on vacation, I got more and more comfortable with eating bad unhealthy foods. Yes, [...]
