Diet ramblings

When I read this from The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl I had to laugh a little. Because its so true, whenever people are on a diet we want to talk about it! I have been rambling for months now on this blog probably causing people to fall asleep mid-reading of my blog! But that's ok cuz I like talking about it, it makes me feel accountable. This is what she had to say about it:

Talking about Weight Watching at Diary of a Mad Mammy - "I’m not sure what it is about being on a diet that prompts us all to talk about it so much. Maybe because we want people to acknowledge the effort we are going to. Maybe we want to revel in the moments when people tell you they notice a change to the shape of your hips, the girth of your belly or the number of chins you have. Maybe we want people to know that, yes, as much as we may be on the hefty side now, we are doing something about it honest and don’t intend to be gulpens the rest of our days."

So how is my healthy living going? (Notice I am not calling it a diet....a diet just feels to restrictive and everyone falls of a diet eventually) Pretty good, I have lost 11 pounds...only 1 from last month but I did go to Vegas and believe me there was nothing healthy about that! :) I am still pretty proud of my 11 pounds, I am getting pretty close to high school weight which I never really thought would happen. Will I get there? Probably not. But I will take close to that weight ;)

Spring has arrived!

I remember something similar to this last spring. I don't know how but Kramer always manages to find the only mudhole in the desert. We thought we were just by a spring but he somehow found a hole that went waist high! Silly dog ;)



After I got back from Vegas it was apparent my boy missed me real bad. He didn't leave my side for 2 days!!

Gooseberry All through the Seasons



It has been decided! I will attempt making every recipe in Gooseberry All Through The Seasons!

I chose this book over my others for the following reasons:

*Gooseberry recipes seem to be a little easier and more realistic to what Cory and I eat. We don't eat duck (Julie & Julia)
** This cookbook and the Christmas one (alot like this book) are my FAVORITES!!!
***I can read and understand these recipes! Plus, I know what the ingredients are. Don't you hate reading a recipe and having no clue what the ingredients are or have a clue where to get them.

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Julie Style

Have you seen Julie & Julia? I loved it and I loved the whole idea behind it? Cook a whole entire cookbook and blog about it? I love it!

I loved it so much that I decided I want to cook a whole cookbook of recipes! Will I blog about it all? No, definitely not. Maybe bring it up? Possibly! We will see!!
When I told Cory he had about the saddest look on his face, he definitely is not as excited about this is I am but he said he will be my supporter and taste tester :) I will let you know when I decide what cookbook I choose, however I can guarantee it won't be a cookbook about mastering the art of french cooking!!

She is pretty awesome and I love her music! I love working out to her and I even have Cory hooked on Tic Tok! I know some are not a fan of her but Check her out and see what you think!!
