Catching up!

So it's been almost a year, and this poor blog is so unloved! Thanks to Rachel for encouraging me to give it some attention. I'll probably post a few blogs to catch up on past subjects I brought up, and then maybe visit here a couple times a week....errr... month???

First off, I totally ditched the Primal Diet. Couldn't do it. I am not waving off any scientific research or facts about what grains do to our bodies or how our bodies may process them. However, I am not happy NOT eating grains. Among other things in the list of what may kill me, I'm just not that worried about grains. I could deprive myself of toast, a sandwich, a bowl of cereal, a spaghetti dinner or a piece of pie, and still be diagnosed with cancer or get hit by a car any time. So why make myself unhappy by not eating things that I literally find joy in. What can I say, I love food, and I'm an emotional eater.

However, I did start Weight Watchers in November of 2010, and I have lost 17 pounds. YAY!! My husband started the WW program just after New Years, so progress photos to come... we're feeling really good!

Secondly, all the house projects we wanted to do last year did not get done, so that is our mission this year. We plan to repaint the entire interior, replace the carpet in all the bedrooms, lay down laminate wood floors in the living and dining rooms, refinish the kitchen cabinets, get some new furniture and redecorate! Whew! I'm excited!

Race for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen 3-Day is coming up this Fall, and Rachel and I are talking about planning a trip to do one together, which would be lots of fun!

 That's all for now! <3
