1 year anniversary!
Diet Advice (5)
A year ago yesterday I had just started my weight loss journey! How much has changed in a year! So, in honor of the occasion, I'm posting pics I took this morning. I tried doing some outside shots, but there's still snow on the ground so I only got 1 outdoor pic that didn't turn out, so I shot indoors instead. I'm happily maintaining about 10 lbs higher than I was at goal (by choice LOL). No fair making fun of how pale I am!

Parsnip Fries Video is Up!
Videos (0)
I just came off a 52-hour work week (whew!) but I managed to squeeze in a quick video on my favorite snack - parsnip fries! They are more of a maintenance food because they are carbier than some veggies. I actually like them better than regular fries! Check them out in the recipe section of my web site. In other news, this video is my 50th video! I can't believe I've made that many! LOL! Also, this week is my 1 year anniversary of when I started to lose weight! It seems like just yesterday, but I've actually been on maintenance for ...

Chile Rellenos!
Recipes, Videos (4)

I have a new video camera and new video editing software that I'm still getting used to, but I'm able to do a lot more with the videos now (or at least without my computer crashing every 5 seconds)! Today, I made Chile Rellenos. This was a fun recipe and way too tasty (let's just say there is only one pepper left as of 5:51 pm). If you can't find poblano peppers or you don't want to use a spicy pepper (poblanos are milder than jalapeños but spicier than a bell pepper) then ...

The Question
Diet Advice (2)
One of the things that I'm doing this year to try and keep my focused on my goals is asking myself "Will this get me closer to my goal or keep from my goal?" I've found almost every choice can become clearer if you ask yourself that question. The answer usually become immediately clear! While this is especially helpful for losing weight ("will this extra large bagel get me closer to goal?" ummm...no!), I'm using it for ALL the goals I've set for myself for this year, including working on my web site. I tend to get sidetracked and end ...

Happy New Year!
Uncategorized (1)
Happy New Year everyone! The start of a new year is always a chance to make a new start. Let this be the year you accomplish whatever it is you set out to achieve! I said this in my journal on the forum, but I'll repeat it here. Instead of making resolutions this year, I'm making "I'm going to..." because resolutions are just a way of saying "I'm going to try to..." while "I'm going to..." means it is something that will get done! One of my "going to's" is that I am going to post in my blog ...
