I’m going to blog..consistently throughout July. Why? Because it’s winter in Australia and it was freezing this morning..well not exactly freezing…come on people the low was 43F…I’m just getting soft. I have talked about how I don’t want to bet against myself, but I’ve decided to join this DietBet. Apparently I have a 35% chance … Continue reading

Tequila Steak…why not?
Today I needed a funk buster. I have these awesome cupcakes in the fridge and 10:45am my funk-monster was wanting to have more than it’s fair share. I whipped on my new attire (hello, I have seven year old sports bras) and hit the pavement. Sometimes you just need a bit of sun, fresh air, … Continue reading
How do you like ‘dem apples?…spread
I remember when I first watched Good Will Hunting I also remember how much my wallet cries when I buy almond butter at the shops. It’s about 10.00 a jar here in Australia. People, I spent 72.00 filling up my Ford Focus today. It’s expensive here (one of the only major downfalls of Australia). So … Continue reading
Amaz-Meat-balls #paleo

Usually it was out MOST ‘favourite’ teachers on the dunk tank/pie chopping block. Or maybe it’s because I won a jello-pie-sucking contest. please, don’t ask. … Continue reading
Six Days Off
I have had the fortunate scheduling from work with six days in a row off . I needed it, my back needed it, my being needed it, the floors in my house needed it, the laundry needed it. Being the American that I am, my focus for much of my recent adult life has been … Continue reading
how to REALLY LOVE food (spicyandsweetpastasauce)
One of the things which I’ve tried to focus on in my food recovery is something that sounds so simple…to really LOVE food. “But I just love food SO much, I couldn’t possibly give up ________” or “I just love food so much, I couldn’t possibly lose this weight.” or “I am just doomed to … Continue reading
Cats, Cones, Concoction..it’s nuts (theboy’strailmix)
My cat pretty much hates me. I’m not even kidding. The poor thing has lived her life for two years as a barn cat, then was picked up by the pound, to be subjected to being spayed and having to wear a cone for 10 days. I am LOVING fostering a cat, I think it’s … Continue reading
