ok...new plan...

So this week I have tried the attack phase of the dukan diet. While effective, it really, really, really sucks. I may have lost weight (7lbs) but this is just as unhealthy as being fat. There is no balance in my diet and no motivation to begin healthier eating habits.

So bad news? Dukan your dumped.

Good news? Diet! Challenge accepted!

Good clean healthy living is what I need to not only lose weight but be a better person. I have done it before. I WILL do it again. This week has shown me I do have the will power to change my life. Dukan was right about at least one thing, the attack phase is meant for more motivation than anything else, and it certainly did show me I can and will lose my spare tire. It just won't happen with a fad diet, but with hard work, like everything else I have that is worth anything to me.

And I want to thank my adorable husband for encouraging me with the following and I quote," I kind of like the Kelly that gives a shit about her health, even if it makes her temporarily grumpy."

Well Josh I am glad you like the mean, I mean me. She is here to stay;-)

    Keep at it. Take it from the King of fad diets. Low and slow with exercise is the best approach to sustained weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.

Canned Ham and Bean Soup

Image
Josh and I decided to can our own ham and bean soup one cold Sunday when we had some left over ham. It turned out great! Here is the recipe we used. We also used a pressure cooker to do this recipe as well. This is a great way to prepare food because now you will have bean soup any time you want it. There will be no thawing from the freezer, or sniffing the bowl in the fridge. Just open and eat! If you would like to prepare this recipe without a pressure cooker, prepare your beans according to package directions or if these are home-grown soak over night, rinse, and place in a NEW pot of water, then add the following ingredients to the pot, and simmer until tasty! 1. Add to each quart canning jar : 1/2 cup of dry beans UNCOOKED (Northern, Pinto, or Soup Bean Mix) 1/2 cup ham pieces 1/2 cup carrot 1/2 cup celery 1/4 cup onion 1tsp minced garlic 1 chicken bullion cube Spice mix: 1/4 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tsp dijon mustard 2

Thank You Sesame Street

Dear Production Team at Sesame Workshop, My family and I had the opportunity to watch the episode, "Meet Julia" this morning. It was a thoughtful and well produce segment introducing children to Autism. I want to thank you for how you created Julia's character and for how you designed the episode. First, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the mother of a five year old little boy with Autism named Jack. He loves Sesame Street and we watch your shows often. Jack was diagnosed with Autism at the age of four after struggling with sensory issues, lack of eye contact, stimming, and communication difficulties. Jack, thanks to the hard work of teachers, therapists, and his parents, is like Julia, making friends and interacting with the world around him more every day. First, I want to thank you for how you constructed Julia's character. Julia is kind and affectionate. She desires interaction and friendship. She wants to play tag and engage the world around her. I
