I already make those substitutions and eat healthy when April isn't asking me to make her indulgent, Southern, "last meals". :) The diet will just give me even more structure? Maybe? For a minute? hahaha... who knows! <br /><br />Notjustafemme: Sigh. I should have added you and Orion to my list of misses! : ) But something about talking to you every day helps. <br /><br />Laura: Yay! I can't wait to hear all about your X-ing! Wanna guest post about it? : D<br /><br />Me!: I would expect nothing less from you. You are welcome to be my Debbie Downer anytime. And... holy cow... 5'4" and 85 lbs? How did you stand? Much less swim?!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740669543398982613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845557840690246920.post-76473718795817044192011-03-25T05:17:28.950-04:002011-03-25T05:17:28.950-04:00wow I am thoroughly impressed. I should probably ...wow I am thoroughly impressed. I should probably consider following in your foot steps but I am so lazy. i can't imagine being excited to work out.<br /><br />On a side note, I question the ability to have a flat stomach. Even when I was young and skinny (5'4", 85 lbs, at that point in my life I was swimming 2-3 hours a day, 6 days a week, and hadn't gotten into food yet so i actually ate a relatively balanced and not excessive amount of food diet) I didn't have a flat stomach so I don't think that's gonna happen, at least not for me. I know, not a very inspiring thought, so sorry to be a Debbie Downer.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746600131596459987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845557840690246920.post-23525201905412519542011-03-25T00:43:02.476-04:002011-03-25T00:43:02.476-04:00I think you're secretly a dog person and I hav...I think you're secretly a dog person and I have facts to back it up.<br /><br />In other news, I'm really proud of you and so incredibly inspired by what you're doing that I am now the newest person to make Tony Horton a little bit richer!

But HELL if those biscuits and gravy don't look AMAZING. <br /><br />Aw, April. She looks good in your kitchen, and I'm SURE she's missing you as much as you're missing her. And guess what? I miss you both. But I have an Orion on my shins who is reminding me of happy times with my favorite southern girls.<br /><br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845557840690246920.post-89203272639205892162011-03-24T21:44:02.951-04:002011-03-24T21:44:02.951-04:00I gotta go with cookingnerd on this one: the whole...I gotta go with cookingnerd on this one: the whole "eating right" thing is really more a lifestyle than a diet. And yes, the French method of preparing and savoring foods is brilliant, as is cutting out overly processed foods. So y'know, go for whole grain as much as you can. Use whole wheat flour instead of white. Use organic (or even organic raw) cane sugar over white sugar. And yep, just like cookingnerd said... indulge yourself once in a while! Nothin' wrong with it. <br /><br />And, as someone who still IS dancing around a size 18 (well okay, probably 16/18 now), I just have to say: YOU GO GIRL!Danni9https://www.blogger.com/profile/04137923439313107218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845557840690246920.post-38221864181891605172011-03-24T21:35:50.562-04:002011-03-24T21:35:50.562-04:00Alicia... you and I might be one person in two dif...Alicia... you and I might be one person in two different bodies.

Well-timed reminder. <br /><br />Also... eatingwell.com... awesome. Checking it out now. <br /><br />Cindy: thanks... I'm going to think about that the next time I'm struggling.

Ever read that book? Me neither. : ) But, I did see a segment about it on the Today show forever ago, and finally adopted the method they hypothetically use this year: love food, respect it enough to not alter it's form (don't add too much fat, fry it, etc.) and respect yourself enough to keep the portions small (so you don't tire of good food). It sounds stupid, but seriously ... best advice ever. I stopped frying everything, & started steaming and baking to keep the natural flavor. Then, I always left two or three bites on my plate. It rocks (and it's easier). The other thing they suggest is to eat something sweet every once in a while. Don't ignore cravings ... that will just cause a horrid trip-to-the-fridge-in-the-middle-of-the-night binge.<br /><br />Wow. That was a long comment. So, I'll just go for broke and shoot for writing the longest comment ever on your blog. <br /><br />I've also been cooking from eatingwell.com They've got GREAT recipes that are low calorie (like maple-glazed pork chops that are killa). Plus, they've also got a menu planner (the ocd in me LOVES this). <br /><br />K. I think I'm done now. <br /><br />I think. <br /><br />Yes. <br /><br />I'm done. <br /><br />Kisses.cookingnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507750160523489218noreply@blogger.com
