I left the post of Birdpress the other day feeling re-motivated and inspired !
She is so smart about food and health that after reading her article about HAES (Health At Every Size) I decided to get out my trusty cooking class notes and find all those recipes I used to teach whenever I was asked [...]

Three weeks into my diet and …may I have a drum roll, please……I’ve lost 12 pounds!!! TA DA!!!
My clothes actually have become comfortable! My jeans do not make me cry when I sit down in them! I have learned to LOVE green salads, EggBeaters, poached chicken and bananas.
Yes, I eat bananas every day now since [...]

Last week’s episodes of frozen pipes and fingers that never got really warm have me thinking of a trip to San Juan or the Bahamas or anywhere where there’s a beach and the temperature is 80 degrees or above. (Pool boys optional but desired.)
God, why didn’t you make me rich? I would not have been [...]
I Only Wanted Some Coffee

This morning I got up to make coffee, turned on the water in the kitchen sink and ..nuthin’. Ahh, the pipes are frozen…again. This happens every winter.
I trudge down the cellar stairs, plug in the old blow dryer and stand there, pointing the warm blast of air up onto the frosty plumbing. I left the [...]

I feel good because I’ve lost a solid 7 1/2 pounds this past week BUT the number has not changed in three days. Bastard.
I am doing a modified Medifast plan where I drink three shakes until late afternoon and then eat a light, lean, and green meal. Yesterday it was roasted veggies and a poached [...]

Yeah, I know the reference is usually “wasting” away but since my concern is for this roll o’ lard around my waist I spell it my way!
This morning after removing all my clothes, my earrings (yeah, I slept in ‘em), my slippers, and after peeing…twice..I got on the scale and TADA!!
4 lbs. down!!!
Shut up. I [...]

I have to throw out, give away, or freeze all the leftover Christmas goodies. I am on Day 1 of ….dramatic drum roll….THE DIET.
I will not post my weight because , well, it’s none of your business, and I am like most every woman in that I think I am really fat when I know, [...]
