My Momma says. . .

Thursday, January 28th 2010

My Momma says Paula Dean is da devil! Well not really, but when I watch her on TV I start to think of the movie The Water boy, probably one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. Well for several years now I've been an avid Food Network (Food Channel) watcher. Love watching Iron Chef, and Iron Chef America. Also love watching Guy's bites, and Diners Drive-in's and Dives. Another one of my favorite shows is Dinner Impossible. Well along with these I enjoy watching Paula Dean on Paula's home cooking....

Finding hope out of destruction. . .

Tuesday, January 26th 2010

At one time I was very depressed because this really bad storm, I'm sure you've heard of called Katrina came here and totally destroyed just about everything. It's funny how a lifestyle change can some times motivate your thinking, or is it the other way around? Hmmm? Well anyhow this use to be my favorite McDonald's and right beside it was a Wendy's, although you wouldn't know that because the Wendy's is nothing but a slab in this picture. A lot of the places that I use to eat at were complete...

Today the New Orleans Saints should go down in history! I expect them to win and finally go into their first Super bowl ever. I feel 43 years is long enough to wait for it. With all of the hoopla going on here in WHO DAT NATION the celebration level is very high. I can not sit idly by and watch this game tonight without enjoying some game-day food.

I just had a really awesome salad, that was topped with 8 large seared shrimp in olive oil and garlic. On the salad I used wish bone's vinaigret...

Running down a dream. . .

Friday, January 22nd 2010

I know, it's corny, I used a Tom Petty song lyric for my title, but in a way it kind of goes along with what this blog entry is all about.

Most of my teen and adult life I've always been over weight. And because of that I always limited myself on the physical activity I did. One thing I never did do was run or jog. I could run short distances but I never made an effort to do anything like run a mile or two miles. Well in the recent past, within a year or so I've had a dream where in my drea...

Learning to fly. . .

Thursday, January 21st 2010

A new day is at hand and I'm starting to learn more about how the body handles calories, and more importantly the proper way to consume and burn. I am starting to believe that I may of set my initial daily limit too low. CK seems to think so. Last night while at work, and after sitting down for about 3 hours straight I stood up to do something and I instantly became very lightheaded. That's never happened before, and the only thing I've done differently was go cold turkey on the sugary sodas, an...
