March 26th, 2008 — Just Plain Fun
Don’t you love a good, hardy laugh? You know, the kind that makes you feel like you did 100 crunches? (Those laughs really do give your abs a workout too!) Anyway, my mood needed some toning and lifting yesterday. I was in a purple funk. Oh, yes, there is such a state of being. Perhaps [...]

Since I’ve been keeping a food journal I’ve noticed a couple of things. First, I seem to crave something sweet after I eat, but it can’t be just any sweet. If I try to eat what I’m not craving – say a banana when I really want a big, chewy cookie – I’ll keep grazing [...]

Happy 1st Day of Spring, everyone! Did anyone see the moon on the horizon this morning? Wow! I wanted to take a picture and even had my camera with me in my backpack (How’s that for timely)! …BUT I decided it was better if I paid attention to driving on the expressway than trying to [...]

I have protein shakes for breakfast made with a plain, whey protein powder. (It’s surprisingly good with the right protein powder.) I have eggs, which [...]

Well, Saturday was fun! We had a blizzard here with continuous snow fall from early early morning until late afternoon. My husband and I didn’t even consider venturing outside! The roads were way too slick, and the snow plows couldn’t keep up with the snow. No sooner had they finished clearing the road then snow [...]

March 7th, 2008 — What I Ate
I went to a Whole Foods/Trader Joe’s type of store yesterday and bought pumpkin seeds, something I normally don’t buy. The label on the container read, “Roasted and Salted.” Hmm… I inspected the seeds through their plastic container, trying to determine if they had too much salt on them. No salt crystals noted; they looked [...]
