DIET IS A 4-LETTER WORD!!

You know I've always hated the word 'diet'.   In fact in my eyes when I see that word, it looks more like '#@#%'.   That's right, I was pretty sure it was a swear word.  Even as I was losing weight, I hated saying I was on a diet.  I would say, I've changed my way of eating.   This is not a lie, because I surly have changed the way I eat.  I didn't know why I hated the word so much, but it gave my mouth a sour taste every time I used that word.   Today I decided to look up the word and this is what I found. "Diet" I liked one of the definitions 'habitual nourishment'.   We all need nourishment, right?  This made me realize that EVERYONE is on a diet.   You may choose to have a high-fat & high calorie diet or your choice may be a low-fat & low calorie.  So I guess I just need to look at this word with a different view.   The word "DIET" is not my enemy.

Today's Recipe:  "Stuffed Cabbage Casserole" I love casserole's.  This one is only 225 calories per serving.   Not to bad for a delicious filling dinner.

SHOO FLY DON'T BOTHER ME!

I have always been under the impression that "Sweat Flies" (or sweat bees) don't ever bother me.   I would hear people complain about  them biting them, and yet they never seems to bite me.  I just figured they didn't like me.  Boy was I wrong!  What I found out was that in order for sweat flies to bother you, you need to sweat.  Before this year, I rarely did that.   I didn't move enough to work up a sweat.  That has changed this year.  They bite me while I'm jogging, they bite me while i'm walking fast & they bite me while I'm riding my bike.   When you move at any good clip in a Michigan summer, you will sweat.  Now I want you to know that I haven't let this slow me down in any way, shape or form.  I actually find it funny that I thought I was immune to the pesky little bugs.   So if you hear some lady jogging, walking fast, or riding her bike and singing "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me", you will know it's me.   Just smile and say hi.

Today's recipe: "Double Chocolate Brownies".  Only 95 calories of chocolaty goodness.
