Hanging In There
I stayed low-carb today, though it wasn’t easy. I am really, really wanting something sweet. I did well, though. After lunch, when it was worst, I ate three strawberries. That settled me down, though it wasn’t exactly what I wanted. (Chocolate!) Mom fixed one of my favourite dinners … stir-fried chicken and asparagus in a […]
Step One
Well, due to some scheduling problems with my son’s basketball schedule, my singing schedule, and the Daddy Weekends, I didn’t get to start my “Colon Blow” last night as I had planned.

(Or maybe to confirm it!) I do allow snacks if meals are going to be delayed or on special occasions. And if […]
I Know Why the Kids Are Fat!
I was cleaning the kitchen when it hit me. On one of my counters is a set of clear glass canisters, and, about three months ago, I designated the smallest one to hold the treats that my kids bring home from various sources. They can have one treat after each meal that they finish. The jar […]
