Yep, I made it! Two weeks ago I took a no-dairy challenge from my husband, and yes-I made it. I went a whole 7 days without milk, lactose, cheese, whey, yogurt, cream cheese, milk-in-my-tea, and CHOCOLATE. It actually wasn’t that bad; I had a few positive take-aways. One of the first things I noticed was […]

I have lived in the Dairy State before. 3 years in Janesville, Wisconsin. The land where grocery stores had long, magical aisles of every kind of frozen treat one could imagine. There was no doubt I was in the Dairy State. Well, now I am in a different kind of dairy state-a dairy state of mind. After […]

We have managed to make it to the Sagamore West Farmers Market for the last 3 Wednesdays, and I can say I officially have my garden […]

We have been blessed lately to get fresh, straight-from-the-hen eggs. I looove the colors of these eggs. Seriously, I have a problem. I “ooh” and “ahh” over them way too much (with my husband rolling his eyes in the background). And then I crack them open and their bright orange yolks spill out, and the […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve given you an update. Mainly it’s because I don’t really want to face you. How many times can I say, “I’m still exercising but I still love to eat”? But here’s the turn-red-in-the-face honest truth: I’m 9 lbs. up from my lowest weight after my “aha” moment, and I just […]
This is not a “I did really well on my birthday and ate a green salad with fat free dressing” kind of post, so if you don’t want to see loads of calories or be tempted by birthday decadence, please look away. Fair warning. Ok, now I can proceed. As you know yesterday was my […]
