I set goals for myself, daily goals, weekly goals and seasonal goals. Sometimes I set a yearly goal but not often; maybe I should? I plan, I prep, I organize until I get it right enough to start working on that goal – but then right enough is never quite reached. We’re not alone, we […]
I was deep into my work today and didn’t think about food until my stomach growled ‘feed me’. Hunger felt good. We too often eat for several reasons from it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner time-even though we ate a big snack 10 minutes ago or because we’re meeting friends and that always involves food; a […]
I’m feeling bulky, junky, chunky…I’m going to begin seriously cleaning up my diet better than I’ve been doing. Not to complain or bore with details but this is what is going on with me: I eat healthy most of the day, dinner time comes and I HAVE to cook for others, Dale and Ryan, who […]
It’s been nearly a month since I last posted and to be perfectly honest, it’s because I have been focusing on my main blog, Initiate Wellness, and of course Christmas. I had a little fun creating and posting 15 healthy dips in 30 days for the month of December, check them out-click 15 Dips. I’m […]
Like many, I love food, for me it has to be good food; not processed and not junk food.

I decided that while my son is staying with me for a while, he has to cook at least one dinner a week-more if he feels the desire. He didn’t object. One thing he learned though was that because I don’t use processed foods, he had to be a little more creative. I have more […]
Hope in my opinion is when you make a heartfelt decision to make changes, personal changes in this case, and expect positive results no matter what the price. Hope is when you don’t give up. Hope is keeping your chin up and always having a foot forward despite the speed bumps and road blocks that […]
Well, I didn’t necessarily crawl under the table but I feel like sometimes that’s where I am. For the most part, for the past week plus I’ve done pretty well food-wise, I haven’t snacked at night or much during the day either; but I don’t feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. Progress though […]
Food means something different for each of us. For me it means satisfaction, indulgence, self-complimentary ( I think I’m a pretty good cook), savory as in savoring the positive moments in life because I had many negative moments throughout my life, gorging on second helpings because of past limitations, my excuse for eating more than […]
