A little about me and this blog

I'm a single Mom, I was married for 23yrs, but have now been single the past 8. I have 3 beautiful grown adults kids...Nicole~26, John~23 and Coal~18. I was a stay at home Mom for the 14yrs I started back part time and now still work both places to make it a full time job. 
 Please bare with me if post are bare or things are a little out of order. It's going to take some time to readjust and get back into the grove of things...
I got into exercise after my first child and have managed to make that a part of my every day life. Along with that, for fun I started playing around with recipes. I found that I enjoyed trying to make them healthier by lowering the fat and calories in them.
I find that tracking what I eat and portioning my food has been one of the biggest keys to my weight loss success, as well as my mind set. 

 If you want to change something up or need to recalculate a recipe, this is a site that I have found to be useful: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp
 A lot of my blogs have been about recipes and sharing things that I find useful for trying to stay healthy. But moving forward I will talk more about the mental part of losing weight. I truly feel that is the one thing that stops people from being successful or falling back into the old habits..All your comments are welcomed. Just remember do unto others as you'd have them do unto you...meaning...Please be nice, stay positive and let's try to lift & build each other up to be better people.
