Lois' Desk

Since the beginning of 2008 my dh & I have been working on making better life choices. This includes what we eat, what we do with our time, and who we spend time with. We've discovered many things in life are not healthy - including food, habits and even some relationships. It's a slow process but at least we are headed in the right direction! I'm so thankful we are doing this together! It's a team effort!

My Goals:
I've lost weight in the past, only to get careless and regain. This time is for real! This is for life. I am approaching 50 yrs old and working hard to get in shape!

My Program:
In Feb 2012 I started the C25K program and ran my first 5k at the end of April. Since then I've been learning all I can about running and working to improve. I love it and what it's doing for me! I run 3-4 times a week and do strength training on the alternate days.

I am a little OCD when it comes to logging my food...can't miss a day! Diligently staying in my calorie range.

Personal Information:
Born & raised in MN but now living in Colorado with my husband and adult son. Our oldest son & his wife live nearby.

I work as an admin assistant for a non-profit. I know my desk job has not helped my weight issue. Part of my job is providing lunches & snacks for training events. Being around all the food & treats is a constant battle for me.

Other Information:
I love animals, horses, dogs, cats, rats...you name it. I'm much more comfortable around animals than people. :)

For fun I like to read on my Kindle, go walking, & surfing online.

Sorry you won't be able to make it this time -- I am hoping to do another one this summer when Jodi is back in Colorado.

We got a good amount of snow overnight. I was surprised how much there was when I went out to shovel.

Lois, yes it is fun to see the deer. Will you be able to come to the Colorado Christian Women get together on May 4th @10:00am here at my house? We will take a hike/walk down behind my house and have a potluck lunch afterward. I would love to meet you in person!
Hugs, Carrie

The veggie spiralizer is pretty cool - you can make "pasta" out of zucchini or other veggies with it. I expect to use it a lot this summer when lots of cukes and zooks are coming in from the garden. The one I have is the Paderno that's $26 on Amazon. Well worth it! Never used Daikon before, but I had a huge one from my Bountiful Basket and I'm surprised at how mild it is compared to regular radish. You can use a lot in slaw and it's crunchy and yummy. :)

I left out the potatoes, and added jalapenos to the recipe. WOW it was good! Hubby left me a note, left a phone message, and sent an email -- all to tell me how much he liked it! (He had to leave for work before I got home)
