Comments & Spam

I woke up this morning to an awful lot of notifications about comments needing to be moderated. My first thought was holy shit peoplke were busy last night. I thought I struck gold!! Well what I really had was a whole lot of SPAM!! I went from Happy to dispointed to just plain annoyed!!

I have now enabled the Word Verification in hopes of reducing the amount of spam!!

Carry on........

Oh and this, this is a Pet Peeve!

Last Nights Dinner

Last night I was in the mood for chicken BUT it had to be something different. So my husband is on the Atkins kick...which from what I read is a lower carb version of the Zone. Less the fruit and the cottage and yogurt and the list could go on and on but I won't bore you with the details.

Honey. I am sorry but you are on your own with this one!

So I did take a look at the recipes on the Atkins site. I figured I could get some new food ideas seeing as there are some similarities between the two programs.

What I found was Cheese n Chili Chops. I substituted the pork with chicken, dropped the green chili's (not because I don't like them but because I forgot to buy them at the store)and used Olive Oil instead of Vegetable Oil. Added a green salad with cucumber for "Z"(my son) and I and had a pretty good meal!!

Me First....for once..

So I am back in the Zone…full time!! Last week was a struggle to get through. My son, my husband and my job have all been driving me crazy! With so much going on and then trying to stay focused as well I temporarily fell off the wagon. It wasn’t complete sabotage, so that I am happy for…Damn Tostitos and salsa !

I have decided that know matter what the situation, will stay focused. I need to take some time for myself and take care of me…I am the type of person that puts me last and as much as I don’t like to be selfish, I am going to start putting me more to the top of that list. I have spent way to many years being last and I am finally putting my foot down and changing all that!

10,000 Fists To Freedom

There are a few blogs I check in on everyday. Well, at least I try. Some times you get busy and don’t have the time.

One of those blogs is Go! Smell The Flowers. This morning I go see what is new and I there is this post titled 10,000 Fists To Freedom. Hmm sounds interesting to me, I read post and found myself to be intrigued. So my curiosity always getting the best of me, I click the link and go to Today Is That Day.

I read the challenge post and pretty much agreed with Aaron. It can be really hard to believe in yourself. For those who don't believe there is the need for a support system. It can be hard to accomplish your goals. Sometimes they are goals that can be attained quite easily and for the ones that aren't, well, that is were the support system needs to come into play.

So I decided that this is the challenge for me!! I have been working really hard to lose weight. I have my good days and my bad (who doesn’t, right!?) I decided that I would like to join this challenge. One more incentive to keep up all the hard work.

Consider A Switch?

Noooo Way!! My husband says I work way to hard getting food ready. He's absolutely correct. What he doesn't get is if he helped just a little, it would go much smoother! There's a thought that will never cross his mind.

So he suggested that I try the Atkins Diet. Ummm..NO! My main reason is cause I am not a huge meat eater. The induction phase is meat, cheese, eggs and 20 grams of carbs a day, from veggies! Not for me..I love the Zone and will continue to follow it.

I did tell him that he was more than welcome to do it, would make my life real easy!I would only have to worry about my food. I could um..slap him in the head with a steak and a small salad and he would be all set!!

This Week Was (IS) Not A Good Week

It really amazes me how emotions really do dictate how I eat. I can say I have managed to stay on track about 1/2 the time. My son has had a really tough couple of weeks at school and this week topped it all off. I haven't gained any weight so that is a good thing. I need to get back into that mind frame!!

A Health Condition I Have Never Heard Of

This is a new one for me!! Sexsomnia...yup...sleep sex?!?!..WOW...who would of thought
