About this blog

This is a new decade for all of us and will be a new journey for me as I turn the corner on my forties into the realm of my fifties. Hard to believe. I invite you to follow my health and fitness journey as I reach my goal of wearing a size 10-12 while I am 50 years old. I know this will be a blog filled with joys, accomplishments, and probably even some setbacks, but the over all goal will be to keep going, keep moving, keep releasing weight to be a fit and healthy 50-year-old.

The results are in and a trip to Whole Foods

The verdict is in....and.....I lost.....another 7 pounds - that seems to be what I lose a week there at the Biggest Loser Resort. I am happy with that loss - but of course I would have loved to lose more. ;)  I had to have a Starbucks non-fat pumpkin spice latte - nummy - as soon as I left the resort - LOL! It tasted great! I guess I missed coffee a bit. Ya think! I don't really drink that much coffee anyway - just about one cup a day and an occasional Starbucks about twice a month. Some people at the resort were giving up seven diet sodas a day cold turkey, and cigarettes. Boy, I am sure glad I didn't have to go cold turkey on that!

On the way home I stopped at Whole Food to grocery shop - I don't usually go there since it is about thirty minutes away. I stocked up on salmon, sole, ground turkey and chicken, a whole roasting chicken and chicken breasts, tons of vegetables and fruit, whole wheat pasta, rice, couscous, and even some organic ice cream sandwiches for a treat. So, my refrigerator shelves a stocked with some great food - now I need to search recipes to make some tasty meals. Anyone have any good recipes they want to share?

I will call you and give you this awesome recipe for chicken, it has pesto sauce on it with artichoke hearts and peppers maybe? I have to find it. You bake it all in one piece of aluminum foil. It is awesome!
