we all struggle!

Learning me.......: The Start: First blog post and it is a little nerve racking but here it goes...... 167 is the highest number I have seen on the scale and I HATE it...

I'm back

So it's been a long time since I've posted anything here and now instead of posting a new recipe of something yummy and oh so not good for me, I'm going to start of by making a confession: I'm on a new mission! A get healthy mission and I was doing good but I kind of fell off so here I go outing myself and making a new commitment to myself. So here's off to a new journey. The hardest part is finding and making food that is delish so that I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Thankfully I found some great sites to give me a head start on cooking and healthy snacking. So go check them out.
