Day 60... Confessions

       Many of my friends have asked me if I try to eat healthy or conservatively during the holidays and the answer is.... "I always try to eat healthy, but I do not conserve or scrimp on my ingredients in my holiday menus".  Throughout the years I have often tried to rework some of the recipes to provide a healthier choice, but then the taste is never then same and I am very much a traditionalist and love my holiday foods just the way they were meant to be. So, I faithfully enjoy all my holiday goodies, knowing that my New Year's resolution will always be... "This year I promise to try to do better!"

Day 50 .... Fifty Days and still "Sailing" Strong!

       I know I haven't been posting much, but like any good ship, when you lose the wind in your sails you seem to get tossed around a bit before you find a breeze and get back on course. One thing I have learned in my life is not to plan to far ahead, because plans never seem to happen for me quite the way I have the planned. So this "RUN ON THE BEACH" was a long shot that I needed to give me motivation. And even though I have been faithfully steady on my course and have reached all my benchmarks and short term goals so for, I am still saddened by the prospect that I may not be in the area come race time. (details to follow at a later date).

       So let's check our "Knots" so far... (my short term goals reached by day 50!)

• TO BE ABLE TO WALK/RUN 2 MILES UNDER 30 MINUTES 
• TO LOSE 7 POUNDS IN 50 DAYS
• TO DRINK MORE WATER THAN SODA
• TO COMPLETE ALL "BIGGEST LOSER" GOALS UP TO DATE
• TO ADD 10 NEW RECIPES TO MENU
• TO FIND 2 NEW FRIENDS TO JOIN IN THE FUN
