Hey! Where's My Feet?

I know I know... where in the world have I been... I been busy.  Life over the last couple of years has been an absolute mess, physically, mentally and emotionally.  But guess what... I'm back and I have good news to share! So with all the roller coastering the last couple of years my weight has gone up and up, back down a little then back up but never once was I able to gt back under 300 pounds no matter how hard I tried.  Well back in March I came across a post on Facebook about this amazing weight loss supplement... now I've been a big girl my entire life and have tried pretty much everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!  So you can imagine I was a bit skeptical... I did my usual research and since they offered an affordable trial package, I went for it just to see how it'd work for me. I'm not even kidding here... in less than 3 weeks I was back in the 200's!! I was on cloud nine, beyond ecstatic.  I'm I'm still down, my scale doesn't move much right...

In my quest for a healthie lifestyle I came across this simple cookie recipe… we all have those sweet cravings right?   So what better way to shut them down than with a healthy treat!?   And in my world, simple is better… you don’t have to have fancy and expensive foods to eat healthy.   Bananas and oatmeal, that’s it… plain and simple. You’ll want to adjust your banana measurements based on size.   The original recipe called for 2 banana’s but mine were a bit on the smaller side so I went with 3, I suppose if I’d gone with only the two they would have been more flat than ball shape.   Anyway… here’s what I did… I took 3 medium-ish bananas mashed the buggers up, then mixed in a cup-ish of Quaker Instant Oats – the regular old fashion stuff, not that high in sugar crap.   Then for funsies I threw in a handful of chopped walnuts.   Mixed it all together and used a tablespoon scooper to dollop them onto parchment paper.   If you aren’t u...

Being overweight has been a life long battle for me... I think I first joined Weight Watchers when I was 14!  I think I've tried every weight loss "method" known to man... grapefruit pills, Weight Watchers, cabbage soup, various prescribed meds, Atkins, slim fast, paleo, just to name a few... after years of yo-yo dieting I had finally figured out it's more about just eating healthy... but what's healthy? Seriously!  What's healthy anymore?  Eggs are bad for you, then they're good, then only the whites are good... butter is bad, you should use margarine instead... oh wait, butter is actually better for you and that other stuff is about 2 molecules away from becoming plastic.  WHAT!?  Oh sure, we've gotten lazier over the years as those handy inventions have come along to make things easier but how are we supposed to know what's truly healthy when doctors keep changing their minds?  Just look at Dr. Oz... great guy right?  I'm sure he's a v...
