A lot of people like to drink alcohol. As long as you keep it down to a dull roar, it's not an issue. However, are the calories worth it? I it worth how you feel in the morning? For me, the answer is no. I have pretty much stopped drinking all together. If my brother [...]
I wanted to share a bit of a pet peeve of mine. If you look at several vegetarian recipes online, there is one thing that they seem to have in common. I am excluding vegetable side dishes. It's the statement, "It's better than meat!" It's not better than meat. A vegetarian recipe is good in [...]
Those last five pounds are a doozy. I've had to take a scalpel to my eating. Deleting things and moving calories around so I am not so hungry. Eating under 1600 calories is hard for me. One thing to note: I am not on a diet. I'm still eating my regular foods. The changes I [...]
I'm hoping I can get back to normal this week. Since the time change, I've done nothing but travel. Ruined my sleep. Had to ditch my normal workouts for this past week. I stayed at a hotel that said they had a workout room. They did, but it didn't open until 6am. I'm up way [...]

I hope everyone is starting their new year off right. I made only one resolution this year. That resolution is to use my vacation time. I'm not one to take days off. Not because I have some fetish for working all the time. There just doesn't seem to be the need. That's not an excuse. [...]
I was inspired to do this recipe because someone from my office bought me Linzer cookies, which I haven't had in a long time. They were gluten free, of course. I always appreciate anything I am given. I am not the type of person who expects gifts. I derive more pleasure in giving. I am [...]
You can tell by the recipes that I have been doing lately that I am really not in the mood to cook anything elaborate. That's ok. It's good to have some simple recipes that don't take much effort. With my mother in law still living down the street, it's a struggle to keep up my [...]
I know a lot of people write this part of the year off, give up, go into hibernation, and say to themselves next year will be their year. -Arnold Schwartzenegger - The Pump Club Newsletter There is nothing magical about January 1st. -Arnold Schwartzenegger - The Pump Club Newsletter I was reading the Pump Club [...]
When it comes to pumpkin pie. My brother is a purist. Libby's pumpkin pie filling with a regular crust. I am not a purist. Making a regular crust gluten free is a pain. Since we are not having the regular turkey dinner at their place this year, I wanted to still make my brother his [...]
