It was another exciting day filled with fruits, veggies, flax seed and G2 (my new low-cal) drink of choice. I have to admit trying to eat nine-a-day takes as much strategy as any job I have ever held—or, what it must feel like to be a desperately addicted to something. All day I’m wondering where [...]
Well, today went much better – all thanks to the BIG SALAD. After “gaggling” down three serving of canned peaches last night at 11 pm, I vowed to eat more fruits and veggies earlier in the day to help accomplish my “New Year’s Nine” goal. I went to one of my favorite local restaurants today [...]
Day one is almost complete and I have three servings to go. Geez, I think the key to this is to eat more earlier in the day I fixed a giant beet salad for three servings and couldn’t make it to the potato or lobster tail. And, in case you are wondering. . .Mr. Potato [...]
OK, I officially kicked-off the “New Year Nine” challenge today with a beautiful Clementine. It was juicy and sweet, plus left me smelling so “orangey.” This morning, the guy at the gas station took an extra deep whiff of me when I handed him my credit card. OK, I made that up. But, I surely [...]
Dear Ann Landers: My 5-year old wants to have his birthday party in February at a semi-pro hockey game. I aske him why and he said it was because of the “Kiss Cam.” He thinks he’s going to get his first smooch that night. He also mentioned that I can’t be sitting next to him. [...]
This year I am going to put myself to the ultimate “get healthy” challenge. I’ve been watching all of the “New Year, New You” commercials, but I don’t see any of them really promoting basic healthy eating—something as simple as, “Go to the grocery store and pick out healthy foods.” My options appear to be [...]
Dear Ann Landers: I asked my 5 year old today what his goals are for the New Year and without hesitation he listed out three: 1) Get more toys 2) Have more playdates 3) Eat more candy. Sounds like I’m raising Willy Wonka this year. Hmmm.
I wrote this entry (below) about myself as a comment for another blog that I like – written by motivator, Johnna Johnson. I decided it was appropriate to post on OSHOULDKNOW. I have a lot to be grateful for. . .and, some work to do. How about you? It’s a New Year – O, I’m [...]
Dear Ann Landers: I caught my 5 year old son rinsing our toothbrushes in the toilet the other day. He said he thought he was being helpful and the water looks clean. Hmmm. Do you think I should tell the rest of the family or keep it a secret? I’m not sure even I wanted [...]
Dear Ann Landers: My 5 year old son told me tonight that if I threw my ratty old night shirt in the trash, I’d get a lot more “night night kisses” from Daddy. Explains a lot. . .This weekend I’m going to have a good-bye ceremony for my oversized Iowa State t-shirt that I’ve had [...]
