Welcome 2010

Hello! The New Year brings a fresh start to everything and I have decided to really make some changes starting RIGHT NOW! The year 2009 was a continual learning experience for me and I'm ready to put my lessons learned into action.

I am a former sugar addict (3 days clean now!) and plan to keep it that way. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer the end of 2008 and finished all treatments by May of 2009. I have read all of the literature on the subject and know that cancer just loves sugar but why haven't I been able to give it up? I prayed a lot on this subject and with the help of God, I know that I can kick this terrible habit.

At the request of my wonderful fiance, Jay, I have began to cook healthy again incorporating lots of fresh fruits and grains into our diet once again. We were talking about this around Christmastime while stuffing our mouths with all of the delectable goodies that come with the holidays. I decided to "jump start" our New Year resolution a few days early and so far it's going well!

One of my "life changes" is going to be to cook healthy dinners every day. When I come across a really good one, I will post it here. Of course, they ALL will be good! :)

I welcome all suggestions and comments. I hope everyone (who reads this) will give them a shot and try to incorporate healthy eating into your life... my motto for 2010 and the rest of my years is: Eat to Live! :)

Lots of love,
Elaine
