lets try again... shall we?

Ok... so I've disappeared off my little food blog for a while... Life gets in the way sometimes!!

So a couple updates...

As of Monday, I weighed 171. I have started a daily regimen of vitamins:
2 Acai caps
2 Coral Calcium caps
1 B Complex
2 Gluclosamine & Chondrotin
1 Fish Oil Cap

Ok, so that is a ton of pills to muscle down my throat in the morning... and my pee is now florescent... but I gotta say I've had less sciatica issues this week! Probably the coral calcium (it's magical, I swear). So yeah, starting to eat much less - portion control!! We shall see how the body handles things through the new year!

Unrelated (or completely related, however you want to look at it)... got this quote from a newsletter today and I think I may put it in all my holiday cards... whenever I get them out! Darn that address book! Keeps hiding on me!

"My wish for you is to know joy and may your heart be filled with peace this holiday season and in the coming year. Be able to recognize the "gifts" that come your way every day in spite of how they may be wrapped. Lastly, remember, YOU are the gift! "

Made me smile. :)
