So, now I'm kicking myself for not saying something. But, when we were at our presentation last week, I kept thinking "Marijean has lost weight!" Of course, I couldn't blurt it out with everyone around, so I didn't say anything. But, as I caught up on your blog and read this post, I thought "Man, I totally should've said something!" Anyhoo - I wanted you to know that I noticed (without the prompting from this post :) And, eleven pounds is a lot for someone your size. You look fabulous.

Just kidding! Maybe I should cut out the sugar-- probably more than I realize goes into the nineteen cups I have a day! You are my inspiration! Okay, Marijean, I officially hate you. Just kidding!

We agreed that between doing what's right for the planet, doing what's right for your local community and doing what's right for the health of you and your family, it's very hard to figure out a plan. Good for you for adopting his simple approach to eating. Glad to hear that Michael Pollan is still on your reading list:) My book group just discussed.

Eleven pounds is nothing to sneeze at! I'll have to check that out. I've been exercising regularly but the weight (pound wise) hasn't been coming off. I like to think I'm converting some of my fat to muscle. At least that's what I tell myself. :-) Congrats on the weight loss! Eleven pounds is nothing to sneeze at! I’ll have to check that out.

I'm on a really similar quest. . . last year I started really cooking for the first time ever, on a regular basis. I make only vegetarian meals and bring leftovers with me to work for lunch the next day (or two days). I snack on fruit. I've started phasing out all of the processed box crap (Hamburger Helper, Rice a Roni, Stovetop Stuffing. . . ). I'm also working on eliminating cheese as much as possible. I still eat red meat on the weekends, but I'm working on portion control with that. This world of 100 calorie packs doesn't make it easy to realize what we should be eating; what really satisfies us and fill us up. YEA you!
