I'm working 10-hour days to make up for having Monday off (to see my knee doc), and now that I have company coming, I'm spending my evenings cleaning. Tonight:

1. Cleaned all 3 bathrooms (mine is going to need more scrubbing)
2. Went to the barn to watch my daughter ride; she's going to show in the Bareback Equitation class (if my knee doesn't complain too much, I'm going in the Egg and Spoon class myself!).
3. Went to the grocery

Got home about 9:30; have…

I'm waiting on pins and needles to hear from the nurse; they had to call my insurance company to OK this in advance. I can't imagine they'd deny it, especially since I've already done Synvisc (which they didn't want to pay for, thank you very much for nothing) and physical therapy (twice). It's probably just as well I didn't hear back today; I really should check my work schedule and see where I can take…

I have been giving this a lot of thought and April has 30 days so that is when I will start. This gives me time to PLAN. Remember if you fail to plan you plan to fail. How many of us are guilty of this (raises hand).

I want to plan desserts well yes they are important!!! Then I will plan the rest of my meals around them LOL.

I want to prepare my weeks main meals in 2-3 preps so that It does not have me…

I enjoyed a few raw foods yesterday, rather than just juice. It was yummy but I think too much fat was involved. I need to remember a serving size of avocado is not 1 1/2 and a serving size of olive oil is NOT 1/4 cup!

I have struggled my entire life with portion control. Whether is be meat and taters or full on vegetarian, portions have always been too large. Even when I was all raw a few months back... too much of a good thing can still be too much! I think this phase on my…
