I am running for every mom, as a mom, who has had to see their baby endure chemo. I am running for every mom, as a mom, who has had to wear a paper hospital gown just to touch their baby. I am running for every mom, as a mom, who did not get to bring their baby home. I run in memory of my youngest son and cherish everyday with my oldest one. Join me in my adventures through motherhood, family life, and the challenges of being a 30-something athlete.

The Diet Ordeal
Just saying the word "diet" makes me feel hungry and deprived. I hate the word. I try to eat relatively healthy....to be honest I have a horrible sweet tooth and I secretly love potato chips.
I also have completely freaked myself out in regards to alot of food...Thank you Food Inc...Thank you. If you have not seen that movie...go see it, but brace yourself.
I want to eat real food, nothing overly processed or created in a lab. I also want to loose a little bit of weight, not much, just enough to feel strong and fast.
I have read up on a lot of diets. All of which sound great...except Atkins...I like bread waaaaay too much. I have kids and a husband that I cook for who all have to like what I do. I am a fan of the family dining together and I want us to enjoy our dinner together. I work 2 jobs and workout 6 days a week so I need fast, easy, budget friendly meals that will make me loose weight while nourishing our whole family.
So my mission...find a diet that will allow me to trick myself into dieting and loosing weight. I totally have to trick myself into dieting, I get cranky when I am hungry and my hubby won't like me. I like the hubby and would like to keep him.
Fun, easy, tasty recipes wanted!

I don't get it, losing weight? Why? If you're still shooting for your goal of becoming a MILF, I think you nailed it.
I watched that tooo. Eeek. I want to read Pollen's books as well!
I have bee considering vegetarianism and that will likely push me over the edge!
@ Pepe...Thanks!
@ Jess....I've been thinking about vegetarianism, I'm re-instating meat-free Monday in our house. I am not convinced I could completley go meat-free though...this is nebraska and I do love a good steak!
Food Inc changed my life!
@ Mama...me too!
