Green Comes Alive
Okay, so... I'm a grown ass woman, as Oprah said on her show, but I still get all tingly when I think about Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garret, David Cassidy, Peter Frampton, etc...
I was that girl that was boyCRAZY. It's insane that I still get that giddy feeling when I see my idols on stage, on TV or whatever. I love that I can still feel that way. Those intense, teenage (and much pre-teen) feelings of admiration for the tame crushes of my past. I can't wait for Penelope to find her first idol. You never forget your first loves and they really stay with you. I love that at age 37, I can turn on Oprah and can remember exactly how I felt at age 6.
I remember being about five years old and dancing around my house to Barry Manilow. I loved the record jacket because he was sitting with a dog - a beagle. His shirt said I <3 dogs. I just loved it. After Barry, I became obsessed with Peter Frampton and the BeeGees. I listened to the Sgt. Pepper's album everyday and loved to look at the fold-out record jacket.
Peter Frampton is coming up next on Oprah, and I just can't wait... Gotta go! Show me the way, baby!

Sugar Bad
Okay, so I was watching Dr. Oz today and he was saying that the average woman today can decrease her chance of having a heart attack by 50% and her risk of developing type II Diabetes by 60% simply by losing ten pounds. Just 10 lbs! That is amazing to me.
I can lose ten pounds. I've lost ten pounds before. Most recently when I was pregnant. I had to quit eating sugar and I lost weight. When I delivered Penelope I was (almost) instantly 30 pounds lighter than before I was pregnant and she only weighed 8 lbs.
I know this can be done. So I intend to go on a sugar free diet and a low carb diet. This will be more than just cutting out sugar and carbs for a little while, this will be for the rest of my life. My husband always says, "if you don't eat it now you will be able to enjoy it later." I think this is the best motto to eat by. I don't really want to give anything up forever - I don't think that's right and I like food (sweets) too much to give them up indefintely. But I can severely limit my intake.
Wish me luck!
