Accountability: means responsible or obedient. Wow…. Do you know how hard it is for me to be obedient? I was always the one the teacher sent a note home for talking too much in class. You know those collages they make for yearbooks??? Picture it Lexington 1993 first grade, I made the year book desk …

Mother Nature
I haven’t wrote a thing about exercise. Why because I abhor it. I know myself and knew that even if I paid for a membership I would never walk through the doors. The stares, the awkwardness, I am almost positive it is all in my head but why risk putting myself through torture. One day …
Embracing
Everyone noticed the progress but me. Every time I looked in the mirror all I saw was that fat frumpy little girl getting picked on. The one who has had a self image complex since grade school. The one with the squishy cheeks that your grandma would love to pinch. I don’t remember when it …
Java
What a title. The one thing that gets me kick started in the morning. My afternoon dessert. My daytime splurge. I love, love, love coffee. Not just any coffee; the blended Snickers from Jumpin Java, the Pumpkin Spice from Starbucks, the oh so sweet and sugary kind. Just walking into a barista puts my senses …
Roots
I know. I know. It’s only been a few days. Have you decided on a change? Have you hit rock bottom and finally have the will power to move forward. Sugar is an addiction, food in general can be an addiction. Are you an addict? This whole process for me made me question every step …
On the go
How are you ladies doing? Any progress out there? Any questions? Just want to talk about the most important meal of the day. The one meal that I’ve skipped the majority of my life unless it included biscuits and gravy. No seriously, like I love that stuff. Maybe that was part of my problem. I …
Zucchini
Oh my goodness. Zucchini is like my bbq…. You can do just about anything with it and it is amazing. Plus it adds an extra veggie sometimes without anyone even knowing. I have used it everyday this week in something. Double chocolate zucchini bread, zucchini tots, zucchini lasagna… just to name a few. Be mindful …
Don’t be afraid!
This could go so many ways but in context I mean to substitute when cooking. I said in an earlier post I was creating my own cookbook. When I find a must try recipe it is almost a guarentee I will not follow all directions. Google, Google, Google. Just today I had to ask Google …
Solace
As I’m writing this the laundry is going, egg muffins baking and Criminal Minds in the background. It’s the first time I have sat down since I walked through the door. Ladies, Mommas, Noi Noi’s (Means MawMaw in Chase’s world) take time to rest. My only solace where my mind is not going is first …
Temptation
This is a hard one for me. You would think over time it would have become easier and it has, but girl is it still there. Temptation, the one word- feeling that stays no matter how much self-control you have. I started out great, 100% gung-ho and on track then bam my sweet tooth came …
