Profile Information

About Me:
Before I became a mother of 7 and grandma of 4, I was sorta shaped like "Olive Oyl"...but thanks to stress, depression, and an ex-husband who was addicted to junk food & just life in general...I went from Olive Oyl to Bluto.

Before having kids I had a 22 inch waist, now my waist is about 38 (or at least thats what my work pants say)and I have a bigger flat tire around my middle then any car. I gained over 70 pounds during my first pregnancy and my weight has yo-yo'd for many years since then but for the last 15 years or so I can't get it below the 150's, in fact I think 155 has been my lowest weight ever in last 15 yrs.....(which is about 15 pounds lower then what it is right now)

Biggest Loser~Grand Canyon style #2

Ok, on Sunday morning, I went to the kick-off meeting for our new weight-loss contest. I did this last Summer also, but hope to do ALOT better this time, because I am determined to kick butt this time (probably my own mostly).
**~FYI~** I weighed in at 168 pounds, not a number that I wanted to see on my 5'4" body

This years contest is a little different as each team (3 people on each team) will get points for...weighing in AND losing weight...going to an activity or lecture...completing a chall… Continue

Food rules & My motto

I have been trying to lose the habit of calling any certain food "good or bad", but sometimes I still ask myself "how will I feel after eating this" I know that if I eat certain foods now that later on I will feel bloated, have a stomache, have the runs and seem to live in the bathroom for a week straight and in some cases (mainly from to much sodium)~makes my lips feel numb & swollen

My motto is it should be tasty, healthy, and most of all quick & easy to prepare. When I open some raw… Continue

sharing the juice

Last night while at work, 1 of my young co-workers (about 25 yrs old) mentioned that he wanted to go on the "orange juice diet". Now I had heard of the cabbage soup diet, and the grapefruit diet, but wasn't really sure what he meant by "the orange juice diet"...well come to find out, he wanted to figure out a way to have fresh raw OJ everyday. He just moved here and didn't bring much with him, so he has no juicer or blender....actually if anything didn't fit in his backpack then he didn't bring… Continue

for people who becomes aware of this latest scandal, the one presented these recent days, and still are not deeply disturbed by this...for these people, nothing noone says can convince them to see the other perspective..for now.

I'm not denying the veracity of those emails... who knows. However, here is a little background on Tim Ball. I have a hard time trusting anything he says. Timothy F. Ball Ball and the oil industry Ball is listed as a "consultant" of a Calgary-ba...
