| Yes Sissy, but I am also finding that one of things letting go is my sense of humor....meaning that I find myself relaxing and laughing more as I get older so I guess that is Mama Nature's way of helping me cope with all of this other fun stuff

| | Dh and I have decided to try the Mediterrean diet. Right now, we're doing about a quarter of our food intake according to this. We're going to gradually change over to a full diet. Our area is so diversified with ethnic foods, it will be rather easy to buy the foods and spices we need. I'm actually excited about doing this. |

Oh well, they're good.

I'm ROTF, maybe the shrinking head is what's making my bum look so big!

| My dh says I am fine also. We haven't been eating healthy though. I have gone back to my Healthy exchanges cookbooks. We were all so much healthier when I was cooking from them. Unfortunately it is more expensive

| I can't wait for our open air farmers market to open. All those beautiful veggies and fruits we can buy.
Well, if my scale is correct, it looks like I lost my 5 pounds already. Now, the hard part - maintaining. I'm feeling a lot better. Getting that processed sugar out of my diet was the best thing for me. |
