I am currently focused on getting healthy and losing the excess weight. Trying to be vegetarian in a meat loving family and attempting being a locavore.

Had to explain to my 5 year old today that diabetes never goes away. She was diagnosed on Tuesday. My heart is breaking.
As of today I am the mother of a diabetic...my 5 year old was diagnosed as having type 1 diabetic...I'm also the daughter of a T1 diabetic.
2 wks vegetarian today and hubs decided to make bacon and enough for me...I resisted.
Lunch today was a pasilla or pblano pepper (can never tell difference) stuffed w/ rice black beans and veggies. Yum!

Cara cara oranges...yet another reason to love the winter.
I meant Dr. Oz would NOT be scared of the topic. LOL.
Think I am noticing a positive side effect of my vegetarian diet. I won't give the details here, but Dr. Oz would be scared of the topic. :)
I bought myself a cookbook yesterday-The Gluten Free Vegetarian by Donna Klein. I really like it, just wish there were some pics.
Just a reminder why we have this day off work and school. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbUtL_0vAJk
Today is 1 full week vegetarian (my b-day resolution). It was easy and I didn't miss anything!
My family and I went for an evening walk 1.3 miles. It was great. We stopped at the highschool track and our daughter ran a half mile. :)
Ack, I am a SAHM and my kids are in school all day. I'm feeling useless and like a waste of space.

I don't "kill two birds with one stone" or "eat crow." I "cut two carrots with one knife" and "eat humble pie."
I have not stuck to my menu plan at all this week thanks to the cut up finger.
A bonus to being gluten free...it's girl scout cookie time.I save money and the guilt of eating a whole package. Sorry little girl scout.
