I decided to go for a walk alone rather than taking the dogs. My neighbor has three rottweilers and I have a good-natured mutt, Kama. I generally take mine for a walk every day and often his too, thus used to this they all behave well. The problem is, when you take that many...

Crimson Moon

         The Moon was in full bloom like a Rose on Valentine’s Day, almost crimson as it sat behind the clouds, beckoning me to it, calling to my innermost being to allow the beast to come forth. To let go and allow the beast within, freedom to hunt and propitiate it’s hunger. It’s bloodlust.            ...

On Thursday, I was outside doing my usual walk and run when my shoe came untied. I put my foot up on a car bumper to retie my shoe and felt a little pull on my back. I finished my walk/run. As the day went on, my back started to bother me more and...

The Importance of Healthy Goals

A Gallup poll on obesity, desired body weight, and changing perceptions over the years caught my eye the other day. The study, reported by Fox News, indicated that the average American weighs about 20 pounds more than they did 20 years ago. This is plenty obvious to me by just looking around the mall,...

Morning Snacks May Not Be Such a Great Idea

I am a proponent of eating when you are hungry and also recommend planning your meals in advance. Intuitive eating and some solid planning really can enhance each other. When I lost weight, I snacked when I felt the need, but did not generally have a morning snack. Apparently that may have helped me...

With the days getting colder and the little fact that I cooked a 20 pound turkey over Thanksgiving weekend, I needed to find a way to use up the extra turkey. After two days of sandwiches, I had just enough turkey to make a hearty but simple turkey and rice soup. Ingredients: 2 cups...

What is the Real Purpose of Thanksgiving for You

As I lost weight and learned to stop thinking about food every single minute of the day, I also learned something really important about the holiday season. I learned that the success of the holiday isn’t about what food is on the table, but rather who is sitting at the table and what kind...
