I have been thinking a lot about beginnings lately. To be precise, the beginnings of different foods, and why we started to eat them in the first place.

Let’s start with one of my favorite beverages, milk. Who was walking a long in afield one day and saw a calf sucking on it’s mother’s teat, and thought “Wow I wonder if that would be good?’ And then went and did it himself. I mean I am grateful to the…Read full post

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I find it hard to believe that today is Halloween. Most of the year has rolled by and today is the door opening to the holiday season. After today the stores will be full of Thanksgiving and Christmas as we wind our way through to the New Year. It hardly seems possible that time moves so quickly.

We are all about to be tempted by holiday treats. I have found myself in later years really liking caramel apples…Read full post

First let me take a moment to ask your forgiveness for being unable to write this blog yesterday. My body, my stress level and my job took over and it just couldn’t happen. That being said I am going to make this blog a twice a week feature.

Look for me on Saturdays and Wednesdays for the next 5 weeks. Right now I am facing my last class before I graduate from Ashford University with my Bachelors in Psychology….Read full post

Losing weight is combination of will power as well as activities. The willpower is the ability to resist the urge to eat, while the activities keep your mind occupied and on other thing other than the desire for food. Both are important components to the work that needs to done.

Yesterday, at church, pastor Eric talked about are jobs as good and something that can even help us deal with our pasts by keeping our minds occupied. The brain…Read full post

Running late again today due to doing math tests. This was the last part of my math class which I have been dreading for weeks. It is over now. I am awaiting my final grade which has to be a 70 or above. This is the second time I took this class and I needed all the help I could get. I still honestly don’t get most of it or why anyone thinks this stuff is worth knowing….Read full post

Tomorrow I…Read full post

This is not a political column and it will never turn into one. In the upcoming presidential election, I have my idea of who should be president for the next four years and I am sure you do as well. The reason I am bringing the subject up is not to get you to vote for a certain candidate as that is none of my business. I do however encourage you to vote.

Will or does voting effect what…Read full post

Day 80! People have gone around the world in that amount of time. Today I want to take a look back at what has happened since I started this adventure with you and see how far I have come versus how far I have to go.

I have not in actuality lost that much weight. Though I make an attempt to do all that I have written in the last 80 days, I really back slide some times. There may be other issues involved here. I know I am not eating…Read full post

Let’s discuss practical exercise. I stated last week that we really have become reliant on power. By power I mean electric and gas. There seems to be more and more ways for labor saving devices to help us get thru our days. In fact some labor saving devices have eliminated certain jobs almost altogether, which has put people out of work.

It would be good to slow down or stop using labor saving devices all together. The reason for…Read full post

“Sugar, ahh honey honey, You are my candy girl and you got me wanting you.”

Does anyone remember when sugar was a happy thing? We sang about it and called people we loved “sugar” as a nick name. Back in the sixties doctors used sugar cubes to help kids take medicine. This practice is where the inspiration for a certain Disney song came from.

Now sugar is an enemy, a sinister substance that is out to kill us all if…Read full post
