About me

I am a mother of 4, one of which is a 17 year old vegetarian. Our family is always on the go, traveling to basketball games, allstar cheering competitions or a number of other sport related functions. Therefore, it is always a struggle to get everyone to eat healthy as well as providing good, nutritional meals for my vegetarian daughter. I work the night shift in the communications center of our local police department. The night shift runs 6pm to 6am and this has negatively impacted by weight. At 49, after having spent most of my life not having to worry about weight, I have had to begin to watch what I eat. I am currently on a low carb, no sugar diet and have sucessfully lost about 10 pounds and more importantly about 10 inches. This diet has not only helped me loose needed pounds but more importantly has forced me to look at labels and ingredients. I am very excited about the new way I am looking at food and nutrition for my family.
