I Just Ate 24 Mini Donuts – Reflections for a Better Year Ahead

Dec 31

Posted by Gina in Attitude, Compulsive Overeating, Emotional Eating, Food Obsession | No Comments

I usually don’t like, and therefore don’t make, New Year’s resolutions.

However, after eating 24 mini donuts today (yes, you really did read that correctly), I figured maybe this year was the year to start.

I honestly don’t know how I got to this point. Binge eating, compulsive overeating, emotional eating, junk food addiction – I suppose I’ve let it all take over my life. Why? I unfortunately don’t know.

But that my friends is my New Year’s Resolution for 2010.

I am going to get to the bottom of all my food issues. I know I really need to dig deep and hold nothing back if I’m ever going to lead a normal, healthy life.

I plan on documenting everything on this blog – the good, the bad, and the oh so very ugly. It will be hard and embarassing of course. But I am worth it.

Happy New Year everyone – I wish you a year of happiness above all!

What are your New Year’s resolutions this year?

Healthy Crockpot Roast Recipe

Dec 31

Posted by Gina in Recipes | No Comments

Guest Article By Shanna Ohmes

This recipe for cooking roast in a crockpot is easy, simple and healthy. Leave the skins on the vegetables to retain the vitamins. Research indicates that in most vegetables the nutrients are just right under the skin. There are no mixes or packets of gravy in this recipe, which contain toxic MSG and excess salt. This recipe does call for a can of mushroom soup, but you can get a low-salt variety or make your own to pour over the roast.

Here’s what you need:

3-5 lb roast

5-6 carrots, cut in chunks

4-5 potatoes, cut in chunks

1 large onion, sliced

1 package mushrooms, sliced

1 can mushroom soup

Worcestershire sauce

1 cup water

In the bottom of the crockpot, layer the cut up carrots, potatoes, onion and half of the mushrooms. Place the roast over the top of the vegetables. Sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce all over the roast.

Mix the can of mushroom soup with 1 cup of water and pour over the roast. Top with remaining mushrooms. Set the crockpot on low for about 8 hours, or until the meat falls apart. Serve with brown rice or quinoa.

If you have leftovers the next day, put it in a pot and add the following ingredients to make a good stew or soup: tomatoes, corn, celery, pinto beans, greens, seaweed, lima beans, peeled sweet potato chunks, parsnips or any of your other favorite vegetables. The seaweed and greens are delicious in a soup and they add loads of magnesium and natural iodine into your diet.
