Week 5

Hello
Still doing well at losing weight, not so happy with the inches... I guess they will show more as I go along. At a total of 13 lbs today, averaging 2.5 lbs a week. Have no intentions at all of ever gaining this back ever again. Am at the 160 lb mark, this is the last day I am going to see the 160's, yeah!!!

I really like my new "diet". I enjoy the many ways to cook vegetables and fruits. I will be experimenting a little more this week, with deserts and muffins and different stews. Will post the recipes, after I try them.

 This has been a good week for me. On Monday 10/14, I was told that my company is going to have their logo on the trunk lid of Marcos Ambrose's #9 car at the Martinsville Race on Sunday 10/27 and I am going to be their representative at the race. My husband and I have pit passes as the guests of the #9 team. We will be going to the drivers meeting and get to sit on the top of the his pit box during the race. Words cannot describe how excited I am to be given this experience. As a passionate race fan, this is the ultimate, once in a lifetime experience. I can't wait.

Have a Wonderful Week
Take Care
God Bless

Week Four

Hello All
Missed last week... birthday week turned 57 last Friday 10/4... Feeling great, loving life... I do love this "diet". I don't even consider it a diet anymore, I like my new way of eating. Of course it doesn't hurt that I really love vegetables... I do struggle with eating fruit, I am just not a big fruit lover, but I am finding ways to get my fill. I put three different fruits in my oatmeal every morning. I snack on Cranraisins and raisins. Got a new oven last week too, now I can bake all the yummy recipes I found in numerous books. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease has sooo many I want to try, now I can...
I will be posting some of them here next week, after I try them.
Well off to the Bank of America 500 NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway tonight. Love Racing... follow my other blog www.mynascardream.blogspot.com

Have a Wonderful Week
Take Care
God Bless
