The holidays are over, my children are back in school, Matt is back at work…and it’s time to get serious. No more Christmas cookies. No more holiday pies or sweet breads. No more turkey dinners, glazed hams, or sugared veggies. No more steaming hot cups of frothy hot cocoa, mounded high with sweet whipped cream.… Continue reading South Beach Update: Back on the Beach

“Goal” Post – A Checklist for 2008
I’m not all that crazy about checklists. For someone like me, who has both random and OCD tendencies, a checklist can wreak havoc on my mental state. However, in reflecting on the past year, I think a checklist is definitely in order. Let’s see how I did on reaching the goals I set for myself… Continue reading “Goal” Post – A Checklist for 2008
