I read a blog post today about eating Paleo and I am so happy that I stumbled across it. It wasn't something I intentionally set out to read, but came across it from reading another post about macros . You know how it is when you are reading something so good and one thing is mentioned, so... Continue Reading →
Is This a Losing Battle?
I have always heard people make a remark that they are “fighting a losing battle.” Today, I think I understand this statement more then I want to. Trying to lose weight has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and as I get older it has become even harder. I work out with a trainer... Continue Reading →
What Meaneth This?
I've had this image in my mind since I woke up this morning. An image of a woman in a wheelchair who keeps trying to get up and walk, but each time she gives up and sits back down. Even putting weight onto her arms to try and lift up her body is exhausting, so she quickly changes her mind and... Continue Reading →
It’s Been Awhile
It's been a long time since I wrote anything on my blog, and almost everyday I feel guilty about it. Why? Well, because I want to be faithful in what I start, and I haven't been. I'm not wanting to bore anyone with all the details of why I haven't written in a while, so... Continue Reading →

Happy Birthday to Me!
This year for my birthday, I took matters into my own hands and ordered myself a birthday cake from Caroline’s Cakes. I have heard about her cakes for a long time, and decided it was high time that I try one. I needed to have my cake delivered to my granny’s house because of my... Continue Reading →
Spicy Cilantro Lime Shrimp
Today has been rainy and gloomy outside so I decided to try and add some spice to the day by cooking one of our favorite dishes. Marinate the following ingredients together for at least 1 hour. You may want to use more or less hot sauce, depending upon your taste. I like to coat my... Continue Reading →
Accountability, who needs it?
Me, that’s whom... Today started off like most Saturday morning, sipping coffee and browsing the internet. My dogs just had to interrupt my lazy morning by wanting to go outside, so I obeyed like a good human should and took them out. Much to my surprise it had gotten a lot warmer outside and was...
