Happy New year Everyone!

I swore I didn't have any New Year's resolutions this year, but here we are, almost mid January, and I've been going like gangbusters to the gym.
Smells like a resolution to me.
I also decided to chart my diet- because then I can't pretend that those 4 doughnuts didn't exist because they were eaten by myself at 10:30am.
And then there's the fact that my husband, we'll call him GARY ( that's not his real name. But it's kind of a funny name and it's my damn blog) is in fantastic shape. He runs 4-5miles 3+ times a week and looks really good doing it. How long would it be before he takes notice of my winter lunch lady arms and saddle bags?
Gary only started running a little over a year ago, and I've seen how happy he is doing it, and what a great effect it has on his body. SO, I decided this is the year to start really concentrating on my health. Not so much my body, although I have to admit I'm vain enough that looking svelte at 32 does appeal to me.

Part of the problem with lower carb food is that they are packed with sodium, cholesterol, and don't have much fiber. I'll be trying to share recipes that I've found that are good, and healthy.

I found a recipe for these Turkey Burgers on food network. They have ground turkey, parsley, Cumin and Green olives. And when served hot, they are delicious, very low fat and high protein.
Eaten cold with a cup of coffee they are gross.
